Top 10 Best Ghost Photographs While trying to decide which ghost photos are the “best” is largely an exercise in subjectivity, it’s difficult to know which ones are the best with any degree of objectivity. These are the photos I consider the most authentic “captures” of ghosts ever caught on film, but I leave it to you to decide for yourself how real they may be. Of course, I realize that almost any photo can be hoaxed, but many of these were taken many years or even decades before digital cameras and the advent of Photoshop and other photo manipulation software came on the scene, making them somewhat more difficult to fake than it would be today. 10.

Cupboards Kitchen and Bath: When "Go to your room!" isn't punishment... I want my parents to take a good look at this bedroom. Maybe it's sour grapes at this point but why didn't I have a bedroom like this when I was a kid? Actually, I know the answer... punishment would be "Get out of your room!" What kid wouldn't want a pirate ship in their bedroom!? Somehow I doubt it. Impressive, eh?

Moss Carpet Grows in the Heart of Your Home Among all the great green designs discovered at the 2009 Milan Furniture Fair, this beautiful biodegradable moss planter at the Tokyo Fiber Sensware exhibition definitely stood out. Japan-based flower artist Makoto Azuma collaborated with Unitika Ltd. to create an indoor glade, populating the planter with an assortment of mosses. The result is an exquisite organic carpet that runs through the exhibition, passing round the furniture and the poles and stunning visitors with its delightful presence. Terramac® is an eco-friendly 3D knitted and spun fabric which serves as a receptacle for the planter’s roots, protects the seeds, and holds the moss together. Made from plant-derived polylactic acid fiber, “this material is decomposed (biodegraded) by microorganisms in compost or in soil after 10 years. Eventually only carbon dioxide and water remain”. + Makoto Azuma + Terramac + 2009 Milan Furniture Fair Coverage + 2009 Milan Furniture Fair Photo Gallery

Transparent TV: Sleek & Clean See-Through Screen Design Televisions have a strange mixed roll in the modern household. Some say they have replaced the traditional hearth, around which we used to gather for warmth. Others suggest that TV sets are distracting and detract from interaction. Michael Friebe has gone beyond a mere concept, however, with a vision for how it would work – technology combining LCD and TOLED displays, rendering the view surface effectively clear when not in use and fully colored once activated. In a way, if it works, it is the inevitable next step for this ubiquitous invention – and perhaps for computers and other electronic devices as well.

Some look like roman columns, others circuit boards or spaceships. Taken under high magnification using a microscope, these images bring a fragile and beautiful world into view. See Also HARMFUL VIRUSES MADE OF BEAUTIFUL GLASS They say that every snowflake is different. If that were true, how could the world go on?

An Ingenious Clock Gently Motivates Serial Procrastinators | Co.Design We would've gotten to this post earlier but we just kinda' put it off. So... Sorry, sidetracked again! Should, Coulda, Woulda, by Swedish design student Maria Bergström, is a blank-face wall clock that comes with a set of colorful leather-covered magnets. The photos do a good job of showing how this thing works. Whoops, looks like he fluffed it on a couple of them: And another... We think this is an awesome idea, not least of all because you can totally ignore it if you're not feeling motivated. [Images courtesy of Maria Bergström; hat tip to Design Sponge]
Kraken Rum Unboxing at Boqueria *notcot in food+drink , 00:30 Ok, Kraken. The rum. It’s amazing, beautiful branding and design all around, also delicious, but first things first, we aren’t going to even talk about the bottle yet… first i have to show you the most mind-blowingly cool package i received and actually shot over lunch on my whirlwind 36 hours in NY (now curled up in Oxford in a tiny B&B writing to you!) Leave it to Dead As We Know It and Proximo Spirits to take things so above and beyond that i’m embarrassingly sipping rum over lunch, picking at delectable tapas, shooting pictures, and having a complete giddy sensory overload at how cool every aspect of The Kraken branding is… while trying to hold a proper conversation with two of the most fascinating guys you’ll meet. How much do you want that seal? LOVE that they took the effort to print the silhouettes inside the box! And the detail on this wrapping paper inside?!?!?! *Swoon* ~ oh, the poster. As for the bottle itself, more details to come of this next…
Beaver | Omegle Conversations Looking for someone you can chat with. Hang on. You’re now chatting with a random stranger. A word of advice: “asl” is boring. You: You see a beaver in the distance lumbering towards you, a menacing glare on its face. Stranger: Give me a moment, Sir or Ma’am. Stranger: This is a pondersom question! You: The beaver is getting closer with each passing second, but luckily it appears to have a broken foot You: This slows it down somewhat Stranger: First! Stranger: Then I proceed to throw the lace-less shoes at the beaver, one by one, to distract it Stranger: Next, I use the laces and duct tape to attach the balloon to my head. You: The beavier is angrier and more determined to attack Stranger: As it is a good sized balloon with helium, the loss of weight of the extra shoes lifts me off of the ground. You: The beaver jump at your rising figure, snapping at your toes, but luckily you are high enough to avoid its rabid attack Stranger: I use the nail clippers to snip the balloon string.
