This home which is one of the oldest houses in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood was in desperate need of revamping. Feldman Architecture was in charge of repairing and expanding and modernizing the small, dark house while maintain the rustic charm of the 1860's cottage. What I like about this house is the careful mixing of rough stone and wood with clean glass and metal which makes the home pop with rustic yet modern.
The Hang Out Music Festival is the only festival of its kind. It's located on the beautiful Gulf Shores of Alabama. The Hang Out Fest is an eclectic musical lineup with stages located directly on the beach with an ocean view. You couldn't ask for much more than that. Oh wait, yes you can cause acts like Paul Simon, Foo Fighters, STS9, Bassnectar, and of course many more great acts will intensify your experience. This festival is to begin on May 20-22 so get your tickets today and enjoy a little bit of fun. No other location allows music fans the opportunity to hear three consecutive days of their favorite bands while experiencing mind, body and spirit rejuvenation on the beach. So see you there.
Found the photography works of Lissy Laricchia or a.k.a Lissy Elle to be a world of fantasy. I like what LiveFast said about her work, "Her creative use of gravity, light, texture and Photoshop transport you into her little imaginary world, a strange yet wonderful break from reality". I couldn't agree more with that statement.
You would also assume with her work that she has a corky personality to go with her imaginary world of photography. From her bio you can tell she fits in the corky and eccentric category.
I live in Canada, where the moose are. I take pictures of anything that will stay still long enough. If you asked me if I would rather see one of the seven wonders or Las Vegas, I would always say Las Vegas. I admire Dr. Seuss and Chuck Palahniuk more then you (sorry), and you bet your ass I would sooner tear out my own eyes then spell Panic! At The Disco without the exclamation point.

Otomata is a fun and new generative sequencer. It uses a cellular automaton type logic and was created by Batuhan Bozkurt. It's kinda like the Sound Matrix, although a little more complex. The cool thing about this one is the directional settings allows for some pretty complex interactions between notes. Each alive cell has 4 states: Up, right, down, left. When a cell hits a wall, a sound is triggered. The nine pitches along the walls are tuned using a hang drum's scale (D A Bb C D E F A C). You can also change the direction of the cell by clicking a note multiple times to set direction. So have fun and get lost in making some music.

I would absolutely buy Doritos on a regular bases if they change their Doritos packages to these. The color choice and the design just pop out and say "open me and eat me, I'm delicious". Petar Pavlov is the designer behind the innovative packaging concept for Doritos. His triangular structure design allows you to close the bag and keep your chips fresh. Below you can see how this system works with the scaled-down prototype.
I know what your think. Your thinking, he must be on a bird kick this week. Well, I can say that I actually am. So let me get right into it and talk about Anna-Wili Highfields paper sculptures. She has done a fantastic job on constructing these birds. This Sydney based artist creates these sculptures from archival cotton paper, which are painted, and then sewn together. I'm sure it 's not an easy task to try and sew together paper. She also does other animals as well and when she is not making paper sculptures. She works on making copper pipe sculptures. So stop on by and check out here portfolio.
I'm sure at first glance your thinking is this a jail or someones house? Well, the answer is it's someones home who wanted maximum security built into the house. The owner of the home wanted to have full security but he also wanted the ability to open up and transform the home into a more vulnerable state. The architecture firm who made it possible was KWK Promes.
In order to gain access to this 6,100 sq. ft home you would need to match all the required security entrance codes. Once inside you would have to wait in the "safety zone', an area bordered with concrete walls before being let inside the house. When in its open state, a draw bridge lowers, connecting the home to the indoor swimming pool, movable walls open, mobile shutters come up, and a rolling aluminum gate raises opening the home to an expanse of garden views. The entire home transforms with built in electronic engines, which means the house opens and closes with the touch of a button! If you want to check out more pictures check out Knstrct.com
