A number of us at silverorange went through difficult addictions to one or more of the Tony Hawk skateboarding games over the past few years, characterized by ridiculous muscle memory for key combinations and detailed knowledge of each and every level. Many of the maps are based on real-world …

Over the past month or so I've been collecting some of my favourite favicons on the web for interest's and posterity's sake. In case you're unaware, favicons are the wee icons that are displayed occasionaly, it seems depending on how the stars are aligned, in the location bar of your browser or in …

I had always had the mistaken understanding that the acronym TWAIN (a standard for imaging peripherals) was a facetious title meaning "Technology Without an Interesting Name." In the past, I've even been duped into spreading this fallacy to friends and family. Well, I'm ignorant no longer. While …

Richard Morton has recreated Roy Lichtenstein's "Girl in Mirror" entirely in Lego. His explanation of the process, including several disasters, is quite entertaining. I love Lego and I like Lichtenstein's work, so how can I not like this. Link via Jim Coudal.
