Sleeping Late

Now I don’t feel so lazy all the time thanks to Wired Magazine’s 3 Smart Things About Sleeping Late. Obviously this isn’t a realistic option for most people on a 9-5 schedule, however the freelancers out there can certainly benefit from this advice. (photo via Flickr)

Flower Sculptures

Awhile back I read a cool Instructables article on how to make flower sculptures out of old computer parts. Last Christmas I got around to making one so I figured I’d show it off on the blog! These little sculptures make for cool homemade gifts to your nerdy friends or relatives. Check out my Flickr set or head over to the Instructables page and make your own. Happy Holidays!

Anything You Synthesize

Dutch Studio Onesize has created a stunning music video for The American Dollars “Anything You Synthesize.” The video is a time-lapse that takes you across a landscape as the seasons change. A simple idea beautifully executed. Link via Motionographer.

Inshallah Surfboards

In an effort to bridge the cultural and religious misunderstandings within Australia, artist/surfer Phillip George has designed 30 surfboards with beautiful Islamic motifs. These boards were inspired by Phillip’s trips to the Middle East and the 2005 Cranulla Race Riots that targeted Lebanese Australians. The surfboards are currently on display at the Casula Powerhouse in Western Sydney. For more info check out the BBC article.

WDA Redesign

One of my favorite sites for finding inspirational web designs is Website Design Awards. WDA recently replaced their outdated full Flash site with a cleaner, more organized XHTML/CSS layout. The new design is great because its simple and puts all of the focus on featured sites. Another great choice was to separate CSS and Flash designs into two categories. Go take a look!
