Transportation
One of the things I love about the backyard and small shop bike builders is how willing they are to share what they’ve done. A random pic of an orange bike posted on a cafe racer site brings the previously anonymous builder out of the woodwork with some CAD drawings and build pictures and hints of another bike in the works. (But damn — all that orange.)

A look at the work of Dean Jefferies and his role in the Hollywood car culture of the 60’s. For Mustang lovers, Jefferies has a hand in the phantom fleet of early Shelbys.
Science
I did not know that Brazil produces one-third of the coffee on the planet. Other interesting coffee facts lurk in this graphic.
Cappuccino Coast is the name that residents of Cape Town and environs give to the rare phenomena that turns the ocean swells into a thick brownish sea foam. This set of pictures makes the description seem entirely right.
Art, Images, and Design
Take the dumpy kid and one of the weird birds from UP add a little St. George, shake well. Chad King gets the mix right in this quick one-off. Quick? That’s a speed painting? Okay so the rest of us suck just a little more this morning.
His “real” work is smoother and tighter, and pleasingly puzzling.
Imaginary Transportation
Fairy tale transportation for girls. Inspiration.
Further inspiration for flying girls.
Animation
Lego live action/stop motion short. The cheesiest mustache ever and a wonderful wall of little doors into other people’s lives. Giggly fun.
out the door and knock ’em dead
