Garfield minus Garfield and 2x4s




So i came across this today and growing up with Garfield i thought this was absolutely hysterical.

"Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness in a quiet American suburb."

Musical origami


Fold Loud

JooYoun Paek
Interactive Telecommunications Program, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University

JooYoun Paek describes Fold Loud as “a participatory musical interface based on folding wired paper using simple origami techniques. Basically, origami folding patterns and rhythms are converted into music. Each fold is assigned to different human vocal sounds so that combinations of folds create harmonic music. Folding multiple Fold Loud sheets at the same time creates a chorus.

Opened circuits made out of conductive fabric are visibly stitched onto the sheets of paper. When folded along the crease lines, a circuit is closed like a switch. The visible switches expose otherwise hidden technology to create a meta-technological aesthetic. They delicately sense when users touch and hold the sheet with their hands. The interface guides users to use different hand gestures such as flipping, pushing, and rubbing when they create various shapes and musical patterns. Experiencing Fold Loud offers a continuous discovery of geometric changes through paper, hand gestures, and harmonic sounds.”

The saddest thing




These are from the "Accessories for Lonely Men", eight electronic devices designed to alleviate loneliness by simulating the—sometimes annoying—traces that one’s companion would normally leave behind. The collection includes a Sheet Thief, which “winds the bedclothes up on the other side of the bed while you’re sleeping,” the designer says. Other joys of sharing a bed are re-created with Cold Feet and a Heavy Breather that breathes hot air down the user’s neck. In the morning the Hair Alarm Clock swings hair across the user’s face to wake him, while the steel finger of the Chest-Hair Curler gently swirls his chest hair in concentric circles. Other Accessories include Shared Smoke, which comes into its own after a solitary sex act; Plate Thrower, a rapid-fire plate launcher; and Silhouette Light, which projects the silhouette of a woman onto the wall.
