Super Mamika


Meet Super Mamika.

She's a real-life grandma.

And a photoshoot superhero.


A French photographer (Sacha Goldberger) came up with this idea when he heard his 91-year-old Hungarian grandmother (Frederika) was feeling depressed. He told her his idea, she agreed, albeit reluctantly, and the viral web sensation was born. They came up with the poses and shots together, and she ended up enjoying every minute of it!



She now has a Myspace site with over 2,200 friends. Her depression is gone.


Go, Grandma!

Find more pics here and here.

A Matter of Taste




I love food & photography and really love when they are combined in a fresh way! Check out this photographer Fulvia Bonavia, he uses food in a fresh & creative way.

A sardine belt, anyone?

Can I Get a Nerd Badge?


It's official. I'm a design nerd.

After studying Tufte in college and learning about the world of "information architects," I couldn't resist a book written by one of his students. And who could resist a book full of creative exercises?

Obviously not me.

Thanks to a wonderful birthday present from my parents, they are now a part of my personal collection of books. Yay!

Did I mention how excited I was when I opened the package and the confused, also amused, look I received from my hubby? Yeah. That makes it official.

What do you do with Old Bumper Cars?




It's easy for a gear-head to be discouraged about the state of the world, especially in times of Carpocalypse and Cash for Clunkers. But occasionally a bright light of awesome renews the spirit. Road-legal bumper cars do just that.

Yes, you read that right; these little beasties are street legal. They run on either Kawasaki or Honda motorcycle engines and co-opt vintage bumper car bodies into the most awesome form of mini-car we've seen in too long.

There are seven of these little monsters floating around California , and they're all the creation of one man, Tom Wright , a builder in the outskirts of San Diego who figured the leftovers of the Long Beach Pike amusement park needed a more dignified end than the trash heap. They were originally powered by Harley motors but they rattled like hell and Tom replaces them with Honda or Kawasaki 750's and a couple have been measured as capable of 160 MPH , which is terrifyingly fast in machines with such a short wheelbase.

World's Largest House of Cards


Bryan Berg used 218,792 cards (4,051 decks) and in 44 days created the World Record House of Cards. He did this without the use of glue, tape, or other material!

To check out the full story and watch a video click here. I wonder if he makes a living building these or if its just a hobby?
