polaroid pogo: instant cameras are back!

polaroid-pogo-1

If you know what to do when Andre3000 tells you to shake it like a Polaroid picture, then you’re probably well acquainted with the anachronistic instant cameras from as early as the late 40’s.

tetris machine: the blocks get real

real_tetris

This collaboration between UK mixed-media artist Chrissie MacDonald and photographer Dominic Lee envisions what Tetris might look like on some newfangled 3-dimensional computing platform that uses physical blocks to let you play the classic Russian puzzler.

Mario, as seen on the streets of New York City (on 23rd st between 10th and 11th). I have a funny feeling that whatever is down at the other end of those pipes is a lot less pleasant than the bowels of the Mushroom Kingdom.

darth vader race car star wars strange

I knew it. After this ominous sighting, we now have concrete proof that the stories that our chubby, white-bearded forefather told us were just that: mere stories.  Know this: The Sith Lord is upon us.

He’s not in a galaxy far, far away. He’s in a black Ariel Atom. The person who took this picture…
