Friday Ephemera

McDonald’s Big Mac remixed by Toronto chefs. // Experimental architecture. // Computing as she was. // Scientific illustration. // Subways of note. // A (partial) map of the universe. (Inconceivable dimensions not shown.) // Wooden mini-speakers. // A computer mouse made of wool felt. // “We must pull out the roots of individualism and selfishness, and firmly arm ourselves with group awareness.” // Cement-filled beer can nunchucks. // The Museum of Islamic Art, Doha. // A collection of collections. // Comedy and porn can be hard to tell apart. // Bride of Frankenstein, 1935. // By cutting paper. // For people who cycle after dark.

“I don’t know if you’ve already seen this…”
