Editor’s note: 2015’s list of the best, most interesting websites has arrived! I don’t know about you, but I’m constantly running into so many cool websites I want to remember or recommend to people but I don’t always have time to make a note of them, add them to Evernote, bookmark them in Delicious, etc. So this is a good example of a post I created as a personal (and completely unscientific) resource that other people will probably benefit from as well. Some of these sites are pretty new while others have been around for a while now, but they are all awesome right now in 2012. So whether you are looking for a way to catch up on the latest Internet trends, want to find some exciting new content to load into your favorite news aggregating app or are just bored and need to waste some time online, this list represents hours of potential discovery.

AJ Fosik's New Wooden Sculptures Jump Off the Canvas
Portland, Oregon-based artist AJ Fosik creates bright, three-dimensional wooden works that look like vibrant illustrations come to life. The artist uses a radiant spectrum of colors for each of his pieces, exaggerating their animated nature. As a result, the sculptural works have a whimsical appeal that, upon closer inspection, leads one to question the presence of violent tools and symbols of death (skulls). Ultimately, Fosik's work explores themes of mortality, idolatry, and the duality of humanity between the physical and symbolic self. The artist's work, presented in an exhibit titled Against the Infinite, uses locally sourced lumber from Oregon that is meticulously carved, painted, and nailed together. Against the Infinite is currently on display at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York through December 21, 2013. AJ Fosik websiteAll images courtesy of Jonathan LeVine Gallery

STAMPEDE - A Stamp That Turns Your Photos Into Postcards by Stampede
Stampede is a reusable stamp that allows you to turn your printed photographs into instant US Postmaster approved postcards. If you’re like most people, you have shoeboxes full of photos somewhere in your house. Maybe they are under your bed or in a closet. These boxes could be full of your own photos as a budding photographer, sentimental photos of you with your parents, children, and friends, or photos from your distant past. Stampede is a movement. Everyone loves getting mail, especially sentimental photos that they can stick on their fridge. With Stampede you simply grab a printed photo and stamp the back with the STAMPEDE stamp. Many of us have converted our old printed photos into digital form and are left wondering what to do with those hard copy originals. We followed the strict guidelines set by the United States Postal Service in designing STAMPEDE. We ordered our custom prototypes from Office Depot after finalizing the postcard design.

In 2013, it went on to win multiple awards at film festivals all over the world including in Croatia, Korea and Macedonia. Earlier today it hit Vimeo and almost immediately it became a Vimeo Staff Pick. As Pictoplasma wrote on their Facebook page, "Finally, almost 1 year after its screening at the PictoFestival, one of the most applauded animations is online for your couch-viewing pleasure." Here's the synopsis: "WIND is an animated short about the daily life of people living in a windy area who seem helplessly exposed to the weather. However, the inhabitants have learned to deal with their difficult living conditions. Now, watch the delightful film below. WIND from robert loebel on Vimeo. Robert Loebel's website

Keyboard mixes drinks
World rejoices... Want to know what the word ‘badger’ tastes like? Obviously you do. Well, trust those boozy Russians to come up with a way of doing it. One particularly industrious crackpot has created a machine that is capable of making such dreams a reality. The person, called Morskoiboy, has linked a keyboard to a mess of clear tubes which lead to a series of flavoured syrups. “One day I had this funny idea, and I thought, ‘Well, there’s really nothing stopping me...’,” says Morskoiboy. Now it’s been invented, it’s hard to know how we’ll continue without one. Find out more at his site here. Tags: food and drink, booze
