Transportation

I believe that this is a 1960’s Velorex 350. You can get the con­fus­ing trans­lat­ed from the Hun­gar­i­an orig­i­nal here.

Very nice CB360T build out. Link to the build blog included.

Not the Cit­roen Picas­so (a bor­ing com­muter car) but UK custom-car builder Andy Sander’s Picas­so Cit­roen.

Ideas

This may make your brain warp but it’s a look at the state of the think­ing today. Attempt­ing to com­bine quan­tum physics and neu­ro­science in the quest to set­tle the argu­ment between deter­min­ism and free will.

Or if that isn’t your end­less debate of choice, how about who was right about the nature of our future dystopia? Hux­e­ly or Orwell? Recom­bi­nant Records pro­vides the key talk­ing points.

Card­board mon­ster arms.

Animation

Good illus­tra­tor, good ani­ma­tion Shaun Tan’s illus­trat­ed novel­las have made me smile. Now his The Lost Thing is being ani­mat­ed. If you have some patience left over from your week you’ll enjoy the trail­er more if you get it from the offi­cial Lost Thing but it’s a flash site and takes approx 15 sec­onds to load.

Okay, we made it to Fri­day. Now to make it through the day,
