Taking reality and mixing a little bit of ‘electronic pixels’, the Pixel Pour is found in New York City’s Lower East Side. The creator is unknown, but is a rather clever piece of artwork that utilizes a street pipe to create a “wonderful instance of hybrid” reality.
Probably the best pixel street art I’ve seen.

Made from hand dried felt, Crafster member blueblythe is the mastermind behind the ‘plush’ NES. Taking two weeks to complete, the Plush NES comes included with a game controller and light gun. It also includes two game cartridges: Super Mario Bros. 3 and Duck Hunt. Humorously, the game screen is interchangeable to reflect both games. Simply remove the “game screen” and affix the appropriate screen for the game you are “playing”. Even the controller and light gun are “pluggable”.

From Kohler, the Karbon Articulating Kitchen Faucet utilizes freely rotating joints that provide full movement of the spout to fit your every need. As its name suggests, the Karbon Articulating Kitchen Faucet is made from carbon fiber for a strong and lightweight construction. Polished in chrome, you can practically position the faucet in any contortion imaginable — you can fully extend the faucet or “fold” it away when not in use. The faucet offers up to 18-inches of clearance and 13-inches of reach, so you can fill the largest pot you have. It also provides two spray options at a press of a button: laminar stream and forceful spray.

When I first saw the “Hancock” movie trailer, I thought it was a joke. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of Will Smith, but watching a movie where the ‘Fresh Prince’ is a superhero just didn’t seem right. However, after watching the entire trailer, I can’t wait to see it.
“Hancock” hits theaters on July 2, 2008.

FATS stands for Fitness Achievement Technology System. Designed by students at the Utrecht School of Arts in the Netherlands, FATS are a pair of shoes that feature LED lights and embedded motion sensors that alters the color and appareance of the shoe when movement is detected. A glass fiber yarn woven on the outside reflects the light from LEDs, offering several different visualizations by running or walking. The purpose is to motivate kids to get off of the couch and start exercising. Interestingly, secret visualizations can be unlocked depending on the amount of exercise the child has accomplished.
