How cool is this LEGO machine?


Brazilian designer Arthur Sacek created a delightful LEGO contraption that transforms a sheet of paper into a paper airplane and then shoots it in the air. The machine was all done in the name of a Super Bowl ad for Arrow Electronics, a company which specializes in distribution and value added services relating to electronic components. 


The design seems simple but it took Sacek four days to build the apparatus, using thousands of pieces (including Lego Mindstorms intelligent bricks) and lots of paper. How did he do it? Check out the behind the scenes video here.

This cafe in Tokyo looks like it's from a cartoon

The interior of this newly-opened tea house in Tokyo's Shin Okubo district is designed to look like a two-dimensional cartoon. From doors and walls, to tables and chairs, each item inside the 2D Cafe is painted in plain white with soft, black edges. The restaurant offers milk tea, tapioca, coffee, fruit juices, and shaved ice desserts. The only thing that I don't like about the cafe is the space. The tables are so close together that you can hear the most private details of strangers' lives whether you care to or not.

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.

Stripper Shirt

Love this Gitman Bros. short sleeve shirt , especially the stripe/pole pattern with blue female dancers.  [h/t: TWBE ]
