Sometimes you come across a site that you just cant help coming back to. Dark Roasted Blend is a collection of wondefully interesting things. I've got it on RSS feed and every time a new post arrives I am reading it. Its probably one of the few sites I thoroughly go through , but i just cant help it. Fantastic posts, images, topics, and wonderfully funny.

Here are some recent posts:
Putin's Emotions
Mystery Devices Issue 2
Spectacular Lightning Strikes
Strange Towers of the Third Reich
All Cranes Are Doomed

and they just keep coming.

Keep up the great work guys!!

Here is something for your Friday lunch breaks...

check out this speed painting video. Quite cool the way that the canvases rotate to form the beginning of a totally different image.

These two guys had a really neat idea. Looks like a lot of fun if you have a place that's big enough to play table tennis in...

designer's own words:
ready to build in ping pong table door. raising the handle allows you to swing the table and fasten it in position. Enjoy all the benefits of ping pong playing in your place, no matter how big it is. A conventional door connects rooms, this door connects people.

Somewhere in Seattle, outside the Market Theatre, a tradition has evolved over the years to stick your piece of gum on the wall.

The result "is a photographers dream. Bright colors, tons of textures and interesting photo ops abound. You would think it's we're talking about the theater but the art is outside."

have a look...

We wish you all a Happy Easter!!!

Fantastic solution for those emergency situations. Imagine you get someone breaking into your home ...all you need to do is plug in your siren ..and if it doesnt scare your thief it will definetly make him think you are totally mad and he will leave you alone :)

I am sure this is the begining of all kinds of USB products .... here is another, a coffee warmer.

Here is a wonderful site for the middle of the week!

It's an image of a life-size whale brought to you by the Whale and Dolphin Conversation Society. It's quite amazing to think of the scale of this animal when it floats past you on your screen. Something very relaxing and grand about it...

This page is something for german speakers only, but a neat link all the same. It's basically a news flash where someone reads the main events of the day in 60 seconds. not really more than a soundbite, but mostly enough info to keep you up with daily events.
