Concept Ships is a cool blog dedicated to scf-fi spaceship art. I love this kind of stuff.

Stripper arrested for subway pole dances

The professional pole dancer worked quickly all week to avoid arrest, getting on at one station, finding a subway car with no children on it and stripping in time to exit at the next station.

Note to self: Move to Santiago. Lucky Chileans. While they had a stripper on their train I was stuck with the crazy old religious lady who prayed loudly the entire trip.

This is so cool: Hotel Everland, a temporary, one-room hotel on the roof of the Palais de Tokyo museum in Paris with a magnificent view of the Eiffel Tower. It includes a king-size bed, lounge, bathroom, minibar, and a record collection. Very swanky. I love the toilet.

Cartype has a pictorial of some awesome car gauge clusters. Some of them look like they\’d be distracting though, and the concept car ones are just hard to read.

George Carlin died yesterday at age 71. He was my favorite comedian and he\’ll be missed. I love his routine about familiar expressions:

\”\’The greatest thing since sliced bread.\’ So this is it, huh folks? Couple of hundred thousand years. The fuckin\’ pyramids for christ\’s sake…What\’s so great about sliced bread? You got a knife, you got a loaf of bread. Slice the fuckin\’ thing!\”

So you\’ve installed those Bocci power outlets in your minimalist house and now you need some lighting that\’s equally minimalist. The Torn Lighting is a perfect match. These things hide LED lights behind them, and it looks like they\’re also meant to be drywalled over.
