(This is NOT where I was. This picture is of the successful try. When I fell I was at the top of the wall at the top of the steps. Way less straight drop.)
Please forgive the quick photoshop stitch job.

Magic
A wet wash cloth, a running fan, a few advil and five extra hours of sleep are a magical combination.

Ugo Conti's Proteus Wamvi
I think I'm on an inventive vehicle kick (I've got a couple blog posts waiting in the wings about diy snowboards, and a pretty sweet snowboard brand) but this may very well take the cake.
I really relate to Conti's quote saying "If I have a problem I tend to solve it with my engineering capabilities. I was born an engineer." I may be trained as an artist/designer, but I think like an engineer. I'm fairly certain it's genetic.

Uni Wristwatch
This is pretty cool. The face on this watch, qixen-p's Uni, is a 96x96 pixel OLED, and can be customized over mini USB. Just wish I could find the price.

Joe Harmon's Wooden Supercar
While I was down in the bay area, I spent some time visiting my optometrist. My vision is deteriorating (it's still not horrible...but its way worse than it was ~3 years ago) and snowboarding without something to correct my vision is far more exciting than it is fun.
While waiting for the follow up to my contacts fitting, I was flipping through a car magazine that was laying there, and I came across this:
Joe Harmon is a grad student in industrial design at North Carolina State University. This supercar is his thesis project and it's made (almost) entirely out of wood. Not carved from a giant block, but made of wooden composites, cut from veneer, woven on a loom, and then infused with resin. It's super cool, super strong, and just all around neat. Especially if you're a materials nut.
Some really cool stuff:

Wooo 2009
Three things.
1) Happy New Year everybody! Hope yours was as great as mine.
2) As of 90 minutes ago, I'm back in Portland
3) @Zach Rose: Baked fries are GREAT if you spray them lightly with olive oil and bake them on a rack. This is also known as air frying and its... its the bees knees. It's just tops.
(edit: Okay, I lied, there's a fourth thing. I've got about 3-5 blog posts waiting in the wings to be written and posted. Lots of cool stuff. Yep)
