Think Evil Knievel on steroids… okay, now watch this video.
Cool piece by Devorah Sperber using spools of thread, chenille pipe cleaners and colored beads.
via jeffwongdesign – this animation was done by Alex Varanese – inspired by Michel Gondry and R-Type… lol.
Sorry for the long hiatus! Vinny Kumar is back! Been a little busy the past few days… Now, enough talking… let’s get back to the music!
I’ve been watching a lot of time lapse video lately… very cool. BTW, I have no idea how to pronounce the name of the mountain. It’s spelled “Eyjafjallajokull”… that looks like something I’d accidentally type if I slammed my hands on the keyboard. via forgetfoo and jeffwongdesign.
Odd News: Chikan Subway Gropers Beware!
Posted by vinnykumar | Only In Japan, Random, WTF?! | No Comments
So, Japan (a 143,619 sq mile island) has a huge population of over 125+ million citizens and therefore the country is extremely overcrowded. This overcrowding, apparently, is also ideal for perverts who want to grope women. In Japan, a man who commits such an act is called a chikan, and they tend to perform such acts on the subway trains. I’ve been to Japan twice, and I’ve never noticed anything like it. Apparently, there are message boards where these chikans decide on a time and a place to “mass grope” women. At any rate, Japan Railways has tried to circumvent this problem by making “female only” cars and installing video cameras. Also, Japan is actually considered one of the safest countries. Is this “groping” not a safety concern? WTF!?
These soaps are designed to look like petri dishes filled with nasty bacteria. Pretty gross. I’m not sure why anyone would want to wash their hands with this. They have the following “strains” of soap: E.Coli, H. influenze, Serratia marcescens, and Salmonella and some that glow-in-the-dark. Buy it at MakersMarket.
Not sure if a lot of you know, but several start-up companies have some pretty cool offices. My friend Jeff works at a company in DC that has one of these work environments. They are currently doing some remodeling. Google also has a very cool office (although it’s no longer a start-up). Check out some photos after the break.
