Therefore, oh ladies and gentleman of the daily grind, I present you with this humble (yet rad ) offering of YouTube gold… from the end of the rainbow. Last week we met Paul Vasquez , a.k.a
The intensive use of computer is a theme which starts worrying the most developed societies. In the last years, it highly increased the malefic ocular consequences caused by exhaustion. Once upon a time — at least for some of us — the cathode ray monitors (CRT) bombarded our eyes with a bunch of electrons.
The Londoner photographer Carl Warner goes beyond the traditional photography. He has beautiful pictures of peoples and animals — but his amazing invention evolving foods directs our attention. With lots of creativity and technique, the ” Foodscapes ” series is a delicious sceneries sequence using foods.
While LeBron James might have made sports history last night when he decided to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and join forces with the Miami Heat — after a long, dramatic buildup that included King James joining Twitter — he may have made an even more important contribution to the cultural canon: The return of comic sans.
