Transportation
Riding the Tiger Shiva. Rotax engine, six forward gears, fancy metal work, and you can ride it. It’s absolutely gorgeous.
Videos: The Tiger Walks (Horrible music ) and Riding the Tiger (You can hear the rotax putt-putt)
It’s a trailer, for a movie, about riding Royal Enfields in India. 2 Roues Sinon Rien. (two wheels or nothing) Yeah, it’s in French. Maybe they’ll subtitle the flic? Do not miss the dancing camel.
The title says it all “Vincent Lust.” Desktop worthy B&W photos of a nice example.

Science and Technology
Ball bearings are everywhere. I found a nicely illustrated essay on how they are made. The process is both simpler and more complex that I had imagined.

Art, Images, and Design
Two beverage packaging sets from the winners of this year’s Dieline deign competition.
Clever return to a classic image. Coke. Love the soda cup design.
A nicely coherent brand ID for a winery but each package stands on its own as well. Expect maybe the High Roller cab. It’s too minimal for my taste. (Tobacco Jaqk Cellars)
A handful of covers from the Swiss magazine Graphis. Graphis published the latest in graphics and graphic design for 60 years (1944–2004)
Paper feathers arranged in sinuous shapes. These Kate McGuire sculptures suggest both flight and captivity.
…and here we are again
