All I want for my birthday is Kodak's new Super 8 camera

Yes, you read it right, the Rochester-based company will release a new version of the iconic gadget, fifty years after it was first launched in 1965. Renowned industrial designer Yves Béhar has taken a lead role in the creation of the new camera, which has the ability to shoot in digital format as well as traditional Super 8 film cartridges.

The digital-analog hybrid cam will feature a 3.5-inch rotating viewfinder, rechargeable battery, and microSD support. What you're seeing here is just a non-working prototype, but Kodak executives plan to put it on the market in September. It'll cost between $400 and $750, but a less expensive model is expected next year.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

French supermarket promotes 'ugly' fruits and vegetables to reduce food waste

When was the last time you bought a weird-shaped fruit or veggie? A disfigured eggplant, a gnarled carrot, a hideous orange, or a deformed apple? You probably have a hard time remembering because growers usually throw out any misshapen produce, since grocery stores only want flawless (or almost flawless) crops. If there are lumps, bruises, or other deformities, retailers are likely to reject them. To raise awareness against food waste, Marcel Paris introduced a brilliant ad campaign called the Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables . The agency created these posters for Intermarche, France's third largest supermarket chain, to inform people that though these foods might by ugly, they are as good as any others.
