New Murals by ‘1010’ Expose Hidden Portals of Color in Walls and Buildings. Installatoin view, Limbus. Hashimoto Contemporary Over the last year or so, German street artist 1010 (previously) created several of his fantastic spray paint portals in locations around Germany, Panama, and the United States. 1010 brings surprising layers of depth to drab facades and blank gallery walls by painting concentric layers of color. The artist most recently had a solo show at Hashimoto Contemporary in San Francisco titled Limbus. You can see more over on Juxtapoz and on Facebook. Pocket Wrench.
This is an impressive wrench. Though just 5-1/2" long and compact enough to slip into a pocket, it works with nuts and bolts in a broad range of common sizes. You don’t need to know the exact Imperial or metric size; the jaws accommodate any head from 5/16" to 3/4" (8mm to 19mm). The three-position hinge permits quick coarse sizing; the jaws then automatically self-adjust to the exact fit as you grasp the handles. The fine-toothed jaws are inclined at a slight angle (approx. 7°) to create a natural wedging action that grips firmly with just a light squeeze – it won’t slip and round off fastener corners as an ordinary adjustable wrench can.
Relaxing your grip on the return stroke lets the jaws open as they travel past the fastener corners, eliminating the need to remove and reposition the wrench every partial rotation. Made of stainless steel that’s heat treated for wear resistance and lightly textured for grip. Writer Creates “Color Thesaurus” To Help You Correctly Name Any Color Imaginable.
Ingrid Sundberg, a writer and children’s book illustrator, created a very useful infographic chart for anyone struggling with color names. The writer says that she loves to collect words that can help give her stories variety and depth. Show Full Text “I’ve learned that we all have different associations with color words,” Sundberg told Bored Panda. “For example the color sapphire is a light blue to me (since that’s the color of the sapphire on my engagement ring), but a sapphire can also be a very dark blue. I doubt there can be an ‘official color guide,’ as color is so subjective.”
Regardless of the subjectivity of color, however, Sundberg’s guide will help expand your descriptive vocabulary beyond green, red and blue. Read on to see all of these colors’ names as well as Sundberg’s interview with Bored Panda.

Take a Look at This DIY Floating Bed – You Can Do This Too. Some folks think beds are meant solely for sleeping and other recreational activities…meet this guy who strongly disagrees.
He took an average, boring bed frame and turned it into something out of this world. He wanted a bed frame that would make a statement without saying a word. Further, and probably most importantly, he wanted bragging rights with his friends. He designed a frame that would appear to levitate – it looked like it floated mid-air.
Check it out… He started with constructing a basic frame. Image Source: viralnova He then installed a 24-foot light emitting diode (LED) rope, which would ultimately provide the outer edge of the bed with a very cool glow. He then completed the rest of the frame (You can see the glow of the LEDs underneath). With the frame complete, he added a headboard. For extra character, he stained the exposed sides of the planks. Here’s a preliminary look at the frame – looks pretty sleek! And here’s the finished design… Fantastic! Untitled. Sound Clip Collection. 25 Stunning and Creative Product/Industrial Designs.
Geneva drive. Animation showing a six-position external Geneva drive in operation The Geneva drive or Maltese cross is a gear mechanism that translates a continuous rotation into an intermittent rotary motion. The rotating drive wheel has a pin that reaches into a slot of the driven wheel advancing it by one step. The drive wheel also has a raised circular blocking disc that locks the driven wheel in position between steps.
Background[edit] The name derives from the device's earliest application in mechanical watches, Geneva, Switzerland being an important center of watchmaking. Because the mechanism needs to be well lubricated, it is often enclosed in an oil capsule. Uses and applications[edit] One application of the Geneva drive is in movie projectors: the film does not run continuously through the projector. Internal Geneva drive[edit] Internal Geneva drive.

Unusual Night in Nature | Worldwide Travel. Two French hotel/camp, Attrape Reves in Bouches-du-Rhone (near Marseille) and Sky River near Loir-et-Cher, are the places where you can sleep under the stars. Concept of sleeping in balloons are designed by French designer Pierre Stefan, wanting to create an environmentally friendly space: when a plastic bubble pack, the area remains almost intact. Balloons are small and cozy, their diameter is about four meters. Some are completely transparent, while others provide a little more privacy.
Of course, if you want comfort that provides, for example, “Ric”, these unusual balloons are probably not for you. But if you want to fully protected sleep surrounded by nature and watch the stars from bed – go to this travel destination. Maybe you wake up when squirrel staring at your face ? Sleeping under the stars gets a new meaning in the unusual “camps” in France – visitors are accommodated in nature under the open sky. EL Wire. EL Wire, also known as Electroluminescent wire, is a stiff wire core coated with phosphor and then covered with a protective PVC sheath. When an AC signal is applied to it, it glows an aqua (blue green) color. Sometimes its covered with a colored plastic shell to make it appear another color. It looks a little like thin neon. Very bendable, it keeps its shape and you can curl it around your finger.
It's often used for costuming, decoration, accent lighting, safety vests, bicycle/motorcycle/car/boat/home decoration, signs, etc. We have two EL project tutorials - the TRON-inspired bag and the EL wire party couch ! You can pick up some high-brightness, long-life EL wire and inverters at the Adafruit shop EL is 'cold' - the wires generate no heat! Please note!

Shape the Hive What are humans, really, but so many bees, buzzing away? That’s the question (we think) asked by Shape The Hive, a visual “experiment in digital collaboration.” In more concrete terms, Shape The Hive is a massive, color-coded hex grid, where anyone can use a sort of virtual kaleidoscope to fill in hexes with distorted images or videos. It’s fun to have a look around, and easy if you’re inclined to participate, so have a look. Get The Glass We’re not the biggest fans of blurring the line between advertisement and gaming, but we’re willing to make exceptions in two instances: 1) When it comes to frosty, delicious milk. 2) When the game in question is a beautifully imagined and well thought-out virtual board game, with graphics that still look amazing three years after the fact.

Repurposing, diy By Inthralld on Aug 19, 2012 Shipping pallets have become a bit more popular with the quest for sustainable elements and materials in one’s home. With the popularity of Green Design and creative prototypes floating around out there, there are some great d.i.y. opportunities for things that can be found locally– like pallets. We’ve rounded up 20 great inventive uses of the bland old wooden pallet and put them together for you to gain some inspiration from.
They range anywhere from merely stacking the unused pallets to make a base for a bed, sofa or coffee table to the pallet built barn or home. What have you made out of pallets?

You knew i was going to make one. They are all over pinterest.... (i still am not signed up for pinterest because i don't have time for one more thing but browsing is fun!) So we made one. i took a box of 64 crayons and took out the blacks and browns.i used another small box and doubled up on the good colors i liked and hot glued them to the top of our canvas. then we turned our blow dryer to hot on high. not long after you set the hair dryer by the crayons they get shiny and then the wax starts to melt!
It's practically instant gratification. and it dries really quickly too. seriously. what could be happier than this?? GREAT project. loved it today is the first FULL day with ALL my kids in ALL day school.yeah...i am smiling as i type that. it's good. it's quiet. i am rockin' it. removing wallpaper.....making code for craft weekend stuff.....doing my hair....going to lunch..... it's all good. hooray for school!
