    At last weekend’s Art Under the Bridge Festival in Brooklyn, artists Jennifer Fisher and Christian Cerrito launched their Red Arrow Project. The project consisted of several floating cursor kites (which were tied to weather balloons) pointing at random locations and encouraging people to be mindful of things they normally might not look at. Fisher and Cerrito’s floating red arrows may provide some competition with New York’s long-running Yellow Arrow Project. via PSFK Related posts:The Balloon ProjectThe Shadow ProjectPublic Poster Project

    Forget about fixies, Grand Rapids, MI design company Jruiter has created a really cool prototype for a minimalistic inner city bike. The design is so simplified to the point that it doesn’t even have a chain, instead the pedals directly drive the back wheel. Of course the next logical step would be to remove the brakes. Our project, simplicity in inner city bicycling, was at first glance a fun aesthetic opportunity in new trends, color, and materials. Our target lived / worked in an inner city environment with minimal space. Bicycling at this level can be more about fashion and culture…

The bust of New Zealand Environment Minister Nick Smith, sculpted as a protest by artist Sam Mahon, attracted 112 bids before being picked up by an anonymous buyer on Friday.

  • Worried about Getting Swine Flu from the Mouse? Take the Poll.

    6 Nov 2009 | 4:36 am
    The Three Little Pigs may not be afraid of the Big Bad Wolf, but some folks are raising concerns about contracting swine flu at destination theme parks such as Walt Disney World. A recent New York Times article cited parks' large crowds, guests from around the world, and high-touch encounters between visitors and costumed characters as "the perfect petri dishes for the H1N1 virus." Most parks, including Disney World, are taking precautions such as installing hand sanitizers and offering employees free flu shots. What do you think? Would you steer clear of theme parks to avoid the risks of flu…

  • Magic Mountain Spins New Coaster

    4 Nov 2009 | 6:14 am
    There's a (very) little bit more news coming from Six Flags Magic Mountain about its new coaster. According to Brady MacDonald at the Los Angeles Times, the 2010 ride will be a family coaster. And, apparently that's all the California park is saying for now. A few months back, Six Flags CEO, Mark Shapiro, let slip that Magic Mountain would be getting its 17th coaster in 2010. With the addition of the family coaster, the park will reclaim its status as having the most coasters of any park in the world--a bragging point it will share with the 17-coaster haven, Cedar Point. Six Flags says it…

  • It'll Cost More Clams to Visit Shamu

    2 Nov 2009 | 6:39 am
    The heck with The Great Recession! The economy may have taken on a lot of water, and consumers may have taken it on the chin, but SeaWorld Orlando nonetheless raised its one-day, one-park ticket to a staggering $78.95--a $4 increase. Busch Entertainment's other Florida parks, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Aquatica, and Discovery Cove, also increased their admission fees. It now costs $5 more, $74.95, to visit Busch Gardens. Florida residents, however, can take advantage of Busch's recession-buster deal: a SeaWorld Orlando season pass (that extends through the end of 2010) for $69.95--less than the…

  • A Water Coaster--at Sea?

    30 Oct 2009 | 9:50 am
    Other cruise lines have included water park slides aboard their ships. But when the Disney Dream launches in 2011, it will feature AquaDuck, the industry's first floating water coaster. The ride's 756-foot long see-through tube will extend beyond the side of the ship, sending passengers zooming high above the ocean. AquaDuck will use jets of water to propel riders' rafts up and along the route as it circles the ship. Disney Imagineers will incorporate other goodies into the Dream, including "virtual portholes" for inside cabins. High-definition screens will mimic windows by relaying real-time…

The leashes were on loan from the current owner of 51 Bergen Street, the factory space where the invisible dog toy was invented in the 1970s. Participants of all ages spread out from Red Hook to Brooklyn Heights, very seriously walking their very silly dogs.

  • The Box

    John Lampard
    5 Nov 2009 | 5:23 pm
    The Box is based on a very short story that was stretched to feature-movie length – through the addition of several plot embellishments – by director Richard Kelly. While the resulting film is therefore somewhat… over-embellished, fans of thriller movies – and conspiracy theories – will still enjoy its many suspenseful twists and turns.

  • Risks are really only risks if someone else calls them that

    John Lampard
    5 Nov 2009 | 4:23 pm
    What to do, please yourself, or the crowd? The difference between being foolhardy and taking a risk seemingly lies in the way whatever action you are taking is perceived by onlookers. First, as humans, we’re genetically predisposed to compete; we do it in sports and in business. That’s what encourages us to take risks, which drives breakthroughs. Secondly, if you’re going to try to do something on your own that’s considered audacious or outlandish and you fail, people say, “Look at that stupid idiot who tried that crazy thing.” However, if a third party…

  • The knowledge and wisdom of two deep-space voyagers

    John Lampard
    5 Nov 2009 | 3:17 pm
    A summary of the how the two Voyager space probes have expanded our knowledge of the solar system’s outer planets. How then to summarise Voyager? As Stone observes “I felt that we were all in the tradition of Galileo. He was the first to see the moons of Jupiter and the first to apply an instrument to increase our ability to observe the universe. Voyager is just the latest tool which we as a civilization have managed to devise, and the tool was so powerful that we saw things that nobody had seen before and that nobody had imagined that we could see.”

Patrick’s sister, Evelyn stood and looked at the cat. “Do you think it’s working?” He lay on his side, his grey fur covered in small paper patches. His short legs jutted out. He looked at me then Evelyn and back again. His head never moved. “I think so.” I looked him over. “Does he look like he’s in a body cast to you?” My plan started out simply. Dress the cat in brightly colored, cheaply made flammable clothing. It was a clown costume with Velcro strips down the front and a small…
