This is pretty in pink, amazing.
Look closely at this cat.
The cat is made of full sticks of Crayola Crayons (literally).
The crayons are vertical--base down and point up.
It's brilliant rather than using the crayons to draw, the artist used the crayons themselves to put together a colorful cat (I also saw he made a dog and a guitar like this).
Very creative...novel...a different way of thinking.
We need this cool cat thinking, and from everyone, to drive to solutions and for a brighter future--we can! ;-)

My Favorite Couch
I took this photo in Tyson's Corner many moons ago.
If anyone knows where to get this couch, please let me know.
I want it--really! ;-)

Orange You Glad I Didn't Say Banana
Took this photo of this very cool looking Orange Fridge.
It actually comes in all sort of vibrant colors including pink, blue, and even "Union Jack."
Made by an Italian appliance maker called SMEG, whose tag line is "Technology with style."
I like technology, and I like design...so this is great stuff!
For home and Museum of Modern Art. ;-)

Swarovski's Crystal Balls
This seemed like a cool shot in the Swarovski store.
Crystal balls hanging in a display case.
Purples, pinks, greens, and more.
Feels fanciful and otherworld-ish.
These aren't the type you look in and see the future, unless you want to see more of the same crap we are in as a society today.
Well, hopefully, please G-d, things will be getting better soon.
And as long as these all don't start swinging...I won't need to puke!
P.S. After reading this one with a double entendre, my wife says I'm sort of a crazy guy...but funny!
So what's wrong with having some fun and being a little provocative? ;-)

Purple Hair Day
This lady in line at Starbucks apparently likes purple, a lot.
It seems a pretty common favorite among many women.
One that I know claims she ALWAYS wears something with purple.
When I saw her a couple of times seemingly without any purple clothing or accessories, I asked innocently, "So no purple today?"
She replied with a big grin, "Oh, it's there!"
Yikes, TMI--don't ask so many questions. ;-)

The All American Shoe
Ok, so this is a very cool shoe.
I'm in Ft. Lauderdale, and I came across this shoe.
No straps, no buckles, no bows, no ties, no tassels, no sparkles.
Just this woven American flag--prominent and proud.
Thought this was pretty cool.
Maybe there is a time for pretty shoes on the runway, and boots on the ground to defend our nation. ;-)

Pants Down
My question of the day, and I know it's the fashion and a lot of people do it, but why do they want to wear their pants this far down?
Maybe, I am just getting old and not so cool (anymore), but this looks mighty uncomfortable to me.
Also, how do those things not just fall completely off?
All the more power to them. ;-)

What Are You Looking At
So what does this fashion statement mean?
- I have eyes in the back of my head.
- I'm too cool for my sunglasses.
- I dare you to try and snatch these new designer shades.

That 70's Chandelier
So what can I say...I like this crazy pink 70's chandelier.
It is not traditional, certainly.
But it is colorful, cool, and happy.
It needs the right furniture and wall accessories so as not to look cheap.
Feminine trendy and hippie nostalgia come together to light up the place.
Definitely not for everyone, but it's distinctive and makes you look--and that's the point. ;-)

Bicycle Star Of David
So not sure this is the most respectful place to put a Star of David.
But with the traditional colors--white and blue--of the flag of Israel, I think I see the effect they were trying to get here.
Also, notice the blue and white rims of the wheels and handlebars.
Interesting portrayal on a bicycle--chalk one up for creativity. ;-)

World's Fastest Bicycle "Egg"
It is called the ETA (or "Banana Bike") and is being designed by AeroVelo, University of Toronto engineering graduates and students.
These are the same folks that created the award-winning Atlas human-powered helicopter.
The ETA is expected to reach over 87 mph, thereby breaking the human-powered land speed record of 83.1 mph.
The bicycle mechanics are being enclosed in an egg-shaped aerodynamic shell and it will be powered by a single person doing the pedaling.
A combination of the movie Tron and the 1970's sitcom Mork & Mindy, it offers the potential for an environmentally friendly way to get around town and some nice fat-burning exercise too. ;-)

Don't Swim Off Your Balcony
Amazing new dual 37 story residential towers in Mumbai, India called the Aquaria Grande.
And it features...glass balcony pools!
I doubt you can do laps in these things, but maybe nice just to cool off and enjoy your luxury living arrangements.
Wonder if this up to building code?
Also, if you don't swim, can you use it as an aquarium or perhaps for catching the fish of the day? ;-)
(Thanks to Dave Zeppieri, Sr. for the post on Facebook)

Swim ~ Splash ~ Swim
At the pool this morning, the fresh clean water was pouring in.
Swimming in the hot sun, I headed straight for the cool splash.
The water was frothing white against the blue background.
As it hit the pool, it created this amazing bubbling beneath the surface.
I swam under it a number of times and came up through the bubbling fresh water.
Sort of felt like I was swimming in a waterfall in the Amazon or something exotic like that.
Hey, I can imagine...but it really was amazing with the water, the sun, the air--felt so alive!
I am thankful to G-d for allowing me this wonderful moment today to feel his beauty in the world.

She's Got Bling
My daughter, Rebecca is usually very earthy.
However, I convinced her to get these "bling" sneakers from Guess.
It was out of her usual comfort zone, but it took her about 3 minutes to admit it--she loves 'em!
Good job Daddy. ;-)

Totally awesome viral video.
Looks like 3 flying people.
Really they are drones in the shape of human figures.
If only we could really fly that way--wow we! ;-)

Picture Frames For The Computer Geek In U
Found these 2 interesting pictures frames.
They seem the perfect gift for that computer geek in your life.
The one on the left looks like a memory or circuit board in the computer.
While the one on the right is made from a recycled keyboard.
I like that they are both made from recycled material and of course, the computer theme.
While not exactly the computer geek, I think they are very cool, indeed. ;-)

The Tron Cycle
This was one of the coolest motorcycles I've seen.
Decked out to look like the cycle in Tron.
Green neon lights under the wheels and engine made this a true sight to see.
When it zoomed down the street, it was really like a science fiction vehicle.
Awesome sight tonight. ;-)

DC Still Has Its Mojo
Even during the government shutdown, some people are happily strutting their stuff in DC.
This guy on the Metro had his earbuds on and was dancing up a storm.
I asked if I could take a short video--he was like "cool!"
Should've taken it landscape, but nevertheless....
He's pretty wild and entertaining.
At one point, he dances up to the camera and gives me his business card.
However, due to the "spicy" nature of the lyrics on his site, a link is not provided.
Hey, this is a professional and family-friendly blog. ;-)

PLS DNT STP
I first saw an advertisement for this music group near George Washington University.
I was taken by their name: PLS DNT STP (i.e. Please Don't Stop).
Pretty smart!
I checked out one of their music videos online and asked my wife to listen as well.
As it started, she goes, this is the type of thing that can give people with epilepsy a seizure.
Yes, she was joking, I think.
But then she said she liked it and to post it to her Facebook, which I dutifully did.
The music is a little young, but even we can appreciate the high energy and cool factor.
I wrote on my wife's Facebook wall, "You're Bad!" ;-)
