Shared: Robie House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright 1909

A new Flickr Favorite by David Arpi.

The Robie House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his client Frederick C. Robie, is considered one of the most important buildings in the history of American architecture. Designed in Wright’s Oak Park studio in 1908 and completed in 1910, the building inspired an architectural revolution. Its sweeping horizontal lines, dramatic overhangs, stretches of art glass windows and open floor plan make it a quintessential Prairie style house. Although it was designed one hundred years ago, the building remains a masterpiece of modern architecture.

Shared: 287.365 || The Failed Experiment.

A new Flickr Favorite by Aman Deshmukh.

A pessimistic frame of mind and a general lack of a ‘feel-good-feeling’ – thanks to the fear of the approaching board exams and the harshness of the fact that school life will finally come to an end – is popping the weirdest ideas in my head.
Just this afternoon, I started thinking about failure. And that got me thinking : how could I represent failure in a photograph? Failing at a task, perhaps? And that train of thought led me to this image.

Shared: Mag Lev Banana

A new Flickr Favorite by alan_sailer.

For some fine reason, two of my banana high speed photos have been elected to appear on BoingBoing.

After the second one, the guy who asked for them told me to get in touch if I ever found a mag-lev banana.

Thoughts happened….I have an old piece of high temperature superconductor so I started thinking about making a little balsa wood banana and levitating it by sticking it to a magnet. I finally decided that I was too lazy to make a mini-banana and found one on Etsy, disguised as a set of earrings.

The earrings were made by Anastasia Ziemba.

They arrived while I was up on Mount Baldy. When I got home I opened the package and found the earrings were perfect. So today I brought home some liquid nitrogen to experiment with the thing. It works fine.

So here is my shameless pandering to BongBoing.

A Mag-Lev Banana….

Look at it, Cory Doctorow….

Just look at it.

Cheers.

Shared: thanks a lot, robot friend

A new Flickr Favorite by squacco.

His moto is "never drink alone" and he will pour you a drink and talk to you when you push the button in his middle. Unfortunately he only speaks Japanese, but you can’t have everything.

on account of the fact that my japanese beer-pouring robot friend is a beer-pouring friend rather than a coke-pouring friend, i thought i’d share a can of beer with him. I probably won’t do it ever again, though.
