Monaco Grand Prix Track Drawing by Tim Knowles
A series of drawings generated by an apparatus in the back of a moving vehicle, a system of sliding rails and elastic holds a pen
on to paper and records the forces at work within the vehicle. As the car moves much like a ball on the back seat of a car,
as you break the pen moves forward, you turn left the pen moves right, etc.

Furniture made from the surrounding terrain always excites me. Blending in to the surroundings and the manner in which it will return to the earth, or water in this case, make these even more beautiful.

Wonderful map + timeline showing most popular ‘tweets’ during the superbowl. You can look at all ‘tweets’ or seperate categories such as ads (Cash4Gold and GoDaddy being ones I personally contributed too, in as much as I thought they were aweful) or the ever useful emoticon map.
