Hey, should I buy a house in Queens?
Awesome Fallout 3 concept art, via BoingBoing Gadgets. I’ve posted about Fallout before - it’s one of my most anticipated PS3 titles - but now there’s this whole steampunk thread which seems to be growing in popularity since 1974 or whenever The Difference Engine came out (okay, 1990). […]

Amazing reconceptualization of the US dollar and other currencies. Maybe a little bit unfair - does the world really only see us launching missiles and burning crosses? But striking.
Best news story evs: “They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not […]

Architecture: Inside The World’s First Billion-Dollar Home. Actually $2bn. I sort of like the exterior - well, I like that it’s not some Romanesque monstrosity one logarithm too large - but the interior looks like a midrange hotel, and that’s because it was built by “Perkins + Will and Hirsch Bedner Associates, the designers behind […]

Schulze & Webb: Olinda. A “prototype digital radio that has your social network built in, showing you the stations your friends are listening to.” Made for the BBC.
