Interesting take on how the TARP funds for transportation should be spent. The groups sponsoring the report have an ax to grind but the logic is good. More money for buses, less money for asphalt may equal more, better, longer lasting jobs. Hmmm.
It’s Blue, it’s French, that’s enough for me.
There’s that magic word ‘scrambler’ again. This time with an Italian accent. A production custom (whatever that is supposed to mean) based on the Triumph Bonneville. (Click through for the original site — in Italian — with good music)

Art, Images, Design
Spiral stair case/slide — epic win.
WWIII — the cyberwar. Okay, maybe we need a better name for the internet war but we’ll have great posters.
Art student Jim Tierney, designs new covers for Jules Verne classics. I love jazz the feel of these.
Small Victories. Found photographs with odd, captivating subtitles. Not terribly optimistic.
Now where did I put those ray gun plans…
