Van Gogh’s Starry night in dominos (via Colossal)
If you’ve listened to the past decade’s conversations about food, you’ll have noticed that eating, always a pursuit, has suddenly become a subject as well. One flank of this movement of enthusiasts has taken up Michael Pollan, a professor at UC Berkeley’s journalism school, as its leading light. Whether they agree or disagree with his principles, intellectually engaged eaters who don’t have at least a basic familiarity with Pollan’s books such as The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food can hardly consider themselves conversant in the food questions and controversies of the day.

I heart Eddie and Co. Rocking 90s nostalgia.
Awesome video tapping into the nostalgia factor. I had many of these; little people, Legos, Nintendo…sigh!
Every Single Toy (Almost) From the 1980s: The King of Legoland
If you picked up a toy in the 1980s, be it a car, Transformers, LEGO, or a Nintendo game, chance is, it might be in this video. I think my mind just exploded with nostalgia.

n9ve’s most recent production, The Alphabet 2. Enjoy!
The Alphabet 2
(by n9ve)The Alphabet 2- a horn book video experiment - is a developmental spelling - video where each character visually represents the meaning of the word itself. Playing with different techniques and materials into little and big spaces, but always focusing on Helvetica font’s proportions. A collection of words in a delightful spelling-video.
A collection of all the things I like: The internet, physics & science, computer, ballet, books, photography, random connections and all kinds of geeky stuff.
