Big Eye Needle

Where was this invention when I was in Fashion Design school? Big Eye Needle is an ordinary loop-eye sewing needle except it's made of some new fangled metal. With a bit of pressure, the tiny loop-eye expands to the size of a button hole making threading a cinch - literally. Gone are the days of far sighted clumsy hands and sore thumbs. Damn thread never seems to want to go in without a fight. I need the Big Eye Needle now. Appropriately, I rate this a DO WANT!

tetris hits the streets (somewhere) in australia

I came across these magnificent falling Tetris block sculptures snooping around over on Flickr earlier today.
When I first stumbled onto these images over on Justin James' Flickr gallery, all I could figure out was that they're a) giant Tetris pieces and b) they were seen somewhere on the streets of Australia. Given a land mass of over 7,686,850 square kilometers, I figured it might take some legwork to find these in person.
A little sleuthing revealed this photo which provided the missing link in finding the true location of these massive falling bricks.
It turns out if you happen to be wandering the streets of Sydney, you can find these oversize, illuminated Tetris block sculptures floating over your head as you walk through the narrow corridors of Abercrombie Lane.
Further exploration revealed that Giant Tetris (aka "One More Go One More Go") is actually part of an outdoor art exhibition called Live Lanes - By George! which runs through January 31, 2009. The larger-than-life installation was put together by the guys over at Gaffa Gallery, who clearly have fond memories of the classic brick-stacking puzzler.
You'd better get over there quick, before all of the blocks fall to the ground and fill up the entire alley.

ORDOS 100 #1: Alejandro Aravena Architects
Sent to you by Rui via Google Reader:
via Arch Daily by Nico Saieh on 12/8/08
ORDOS 100 is a development in Inner Mongolia that you might have heard of. It consist on one hundred 1000sqm villas designed by 100 hip architects in 100 days, selected by Herzog & de Meuron over a master plan developed and curated by Ai Wei Wei (FAKE Design).
If during the modernism architectural experimentation was practiced through large housing projects, we now find it in curated projects such at this, on countries with a raising -or at least before the crisis- .
The project was split into two-phases, of 28 and 72 houses respectively. In ArchDaily we are going to feature the projected villas each week, and hopefully we manage to document all #100. We have contacted several offices already, but if you are part of ORDOS 100 and we haven´t got in touch with you, please use the contact form.
We start with the villa by Alejandro Aravena (Chile).
