Tour de France, costumes, and a house.

VERY good pictures from the last Tour de France.  Not so good, but fun pics at the Comic-Con 2009. 600 hundred of them. And a tiny but good looking prefab home in Denmark.

Herbivorous boys, borders, and a Federal Building.

A growing group of men dubbed “herbivorous boys” reject traditional masculinity when it comes to romance, jobs and consumption in an apparent reaction to the tougher economy. Crossing the US border with Canada. A very interesting Federal Building in San Francisco designed by Morphosis.

Bogota, passwords, and a limo ride.

Walking around Bogota, Colombia. How often do you change your passwords? Germany’s health minister took her official limousine, complete with chauffeur, to Spain where the vehicle was stolen.

Space and light, Bacon, and invisible flashes.

Olafur Eliasson creates art from a palette of space, distance, color and light. Pretty interesting. Francis Bacon at the MET. Invisible flashes of infrared and ultraviolet light points to a smarter way to take photos in the dark.

Singing senators, a fun wedding, and Alaska’s new mystery.

I don’t even know how describe this video, just watch it. Finally!!! Someone is doing something different at a wedding! Well done guys!

What looked like an oil spill showed up off the shore of Wainwright, Alaska two weeks ago. Experts say that the goo is made of algae, but nobody knows what kind or where it came from.

HDR NY, layoffs, and a long eclipse.

Very interesting HDR pictures of New York city. The art of the layoff. People in Asia have seen the longest total solar eclipse this century. There will not be a longer total eclipse until 2132.

Rich and single, internet users, and dancing babies.

Wanna find other rich and single people like me? Click here. Very cool map/chart of internet’s traffic. Really weird but funny dancing babies video.

Online wine, a day in the life of Dressner, and fancy grape juice.

I often have to deal with this issue, why is buying wine online cheaper than going to the store or placing a phone order? An interesting minute-by-minute account of a day in the life of my favorite wine importer. How is the luxury wine market doing during the recession?

Pizza map, bike map, and happy hour map.

Oh New York…There’s a little bit of everything and there’s a map to find it.  Check this map of New York City’s new generation of pizza restaurants. Here’s one for bikers. And obviously, there is one with all the bars offering happy hour specials. I love the name: Mappyhour.

Names, inkjet symphony, and a very expensive smoke.

How  16 electronics companies got their names. This is very cool! A short film titled “HP Invent” featuring a symphony of inkjet printers. Confused? Check this out. A New Hampshire man was charged over 23 quadrillion dollars for a pack of cigarettes.
