Mucho.
Guess the film.
“The girl wrote a story. “But how much better it would be if you wrote a novel,” said her mother. The girl built a doll-house. “But how much better if it were a real house,” her mother said. The girl made a small pillow for her father. “But wouldn’t a quilt be more practical,” said her mother. The girl dug a small hole in the garden. “But how much better if you dug a large hole,” said her mother. The girl dug a large hole and went to sleep in it. “But how much better if you slept forever,” said her mother.”

These modernist posters for (mostly) punk bands are the definition of gorgeous. Every single concert happened and there are 215 of them. The author describes them as an ongoing project. Fuck yeah.
I have roamed the Internets in search for a hi-res version of this pic: she didn’t deserve less. I finally found it at Livejournal, a community that is sort of neglected these days but also at the same time where Tumblr goes to steal 90% of its artsy stuff. The Livejournal crowd are, you know, The Old Ones. Her name, by the way, is Diana Conte.
Originally found via Guillermolo via Nerviosismo.
Ominous: the annual midnight swearing-in of SS-men in Feldherrnhalle, November 2nd 1938. And don’t forget: this Fall/Winter collection is by Hugo Boss.

Three generations of Mars Rovers. It is absolutely mandatory to see it full size to appreciate the mind-blowingness of it.
“We’re always trying to foresee the future a bit here at TPB. One of the things that we really know is that we as a society will always share. Digital communication has made that a lot easier and will continue to do so. And after the internets evolutionized data to go from analog to digital, it’s time for the next step.
Today most data is born digitally. It’s not about the transition from analog to digital anymore. We don’t talk about how to rip anything without losing quality since we make perfect 1 to 1 digital copies of things. Music, movies, books, all come from the digital sphere. But we’re physical people and we need objects to touch sometimes as well!
We believe that the next step in copying will be made from digital form into physical form. It will be physical objects. Or as we decided to call them: Physibles. Data objects that are able (and feasible) to become physical. We believe that things like three dimensional printers, scanners and such are just the first step. We believe that in the nearby future you will print your spare sparts for your vehicles. You will download your sneakers within 20 years.
The benefit to society is huge. No more shipping huge amount of products around the world. No more shipping the broken products back. No more child labour. We’ll be able to print food for hungry people. We’ll be able to share not only a recipe, but the full meal. We’ll be able to actually copy that floppy, if we needed one.
We believe that the future of sharing is about physible data. We’re thinking of temporarily renaming ourselves to The Product Bay - but we had no graphical artist around to make a logo. In the future, we’ll download one.”
