Coolest. Stage. Ever | Nov 29, 2010 Nov 29, 2010 Check out this incredible floating stage on Lake Constance in Bregenz, Austria. The Bregenzer Festspiele (Bregenz Festival) has become renowned for its unconventional staging of shows. Verdi’s opera, “A Masked Ball” in 1999, featured a giant book being read by a skeleton. Cheese Pinwheel Rolls Sooner or later, all my conversations inevitably turn to food. Don’t believe me? Call me up sometime and try to, say, sell me some insurance. I guarantee that before we get off the phone, I’ll be giving you my recipe for blackberry jam. Perfect example: I was in a meeting a few weeks ago at the office. What was the best way to make them? Ah, the Frankenroll This recipe borrows heavily from two fairly unrelated things. To make these rolls, spread pizza dough liberally with melted butter, sprinkle it with cheese and spices, roll it up like a stromboli—then slice and bake like a pan of cinnamon buns. The result? Fill them however you like The best part about these rolls? This is what I always refer to as a Sliding-Scale Recipe. You can toss it together with a ball of pre-made dough and a bag of shredded cheese from the grocery store—or you can go all out and make the dough from scratch and grate your favorite cheeses by hand. I like to throw these rolls together on a weeknight. Bake the rolls

The Most Brilliantly Obnoxious Responses To Moronic Graffiti | Happy Place - StumbleUpon The greatest smart-ass responses to idiotic graffiti. posted 02/16/2013 Bathroom walls give opinionated urinators everywhere a makeshift, bacteria-covered forum for virulent racism, misogyny, homophobia and, worst of all, philosophy. Of course, we'd never advocate one of these obscene acts of vandalism — unless it's a smart-ass response to a previous act of vandalism.

In the meantime, here's a glimpse of some of the things I saw in Shenzhen. Foxconn's factory in Shenzhen, China, is home to about half its 420,000 workers. They make many of our gadgets and computers, then walk to dormitories on the 2.1-kilometer-square campus. I got to look inside. This dorm is one of the older ones on campus, built near the beginning. Workout equipment is located in the spaces between buildings.Newer dorm rooms share a sink on the balcony, where workers can wash their clothing and themselves.

Hipster to Hippie No counter/subculture exists in a vacuum, and hipsters are no exception. Bearded, free-loving hippies are the forefathers of cool to the mustached, slim-jeaned youth of today. The following graphic shows how easy it is for the modern hipster to regress back to the 1960s, when hope for a better society abounded and the word ‘irony’ wasn’t employed as a shield to hide behind when someone accused you of actually liking something. We wonder what the female version of this would look like… [via BuzzFeed] 23 Amazing Bedrooms with a Panoramic View of the Ocean Freshome Home Bedroom Design Ideas, Pictures and Decor 23 Amazing Bedrooms with a Panoramic View of the Ocean 23 Amazing Bedrooms with a Panoramic View of the Ocean Share on FacebookShare on Twitter Beachfront properties are very desirable for a lot of people because they’re regarded as a rare commodity.

Duh-Licious: Bailey's Chocolate Pudding -- No Kids Allowed Bailey’s Chocolate Pudding — No Kids Allowed Posted on 23 February 2010 by Mădălina At first glance, this looks like a cup of dark chocolate hot cocoa, but take a closer look and you’ll find the ultimate after-dinner-dessert. Finally, a treat for the adults only– a simple, yet sinful take on a classic. I added Baileys Irish Cream, and used semi-sweet chocolate instead of milk-chocolate, and feel free to splurge on the more expensive chocolate.

Expectations vs. Reality (16 Pics) | - StumbleUpon Things don’t always go as planned. Check out the pics below to see a few examples of what happens when our expectations get punched in the face by reality. via via Tickling Expectations: Reality: via via via via via You may also like: Napkin PC (by @baekdal) #design It is the time of CES and the media is currently filled with a lot of very interesting products - but here is one that you will not see (unfortunately). It's a PC the size of a napkin. The best part is that it is based on passive screen technology (epaper), which means that it only needs power when you change it. The result is that whatever you draw on it will stay on the screen forever (or atleast until you change it) without the need for cables or batteries. This is a brilliant concept by Avery Holleman, and apart from the color epaper, all of it could be done today. In any case, I want one - as soon as somebody makes one. Note: I am not really sure that running windows on it is such a good idea - or let me rephrase that, any operating system. (Tip via email) Follow: 42Concepts
