Weightlessness in Nature by Cornelia Konrads

Cornelia’s outdoor installations seem to give Mother Nature the finger with their brazen defiance of gravity. Suspended in time, her works often seem to be in caught in the middle of construction themselves, an act we were never supposed to witness.

AeroPress “Ritual” (spec)

This is a short tribute to my AeroPress. Two years ago, one was given to me, and it changed everything.

For a little more than $20, this marvel of science will produce arguably the best cup of coffee you’ve ever made in your home. It makes no sense.

Here’s where to buy it: amzn.to/IiqlhO

“And one day in the future, cool, slick petroplastics will become a repository of warm nostalgia. I like to imagine the Brooklyn-hipsters-of-the-future, on their rooftops, using vodka and bitter almond oil to make artisanal polyethylene.”

- Warren Ellis » GUEST INFORMANT: Debbie Chachra

I love this kind of futurism.

There are two things in life I want you to consider, when we talk about business and success:

First of the two: you never tell your secrets to anyone.

”The Rising Sun” is an attractive old pub on Carter Street (EC1 postcode district) in London, rather hidden away in a Dickensian alley next door to the historic Priory Church of Saint Bartholomew the Great. Reviewers describe it as a comfortable place with darts and fruit machines, cheap grub, and a Tuesday quiz night. Who could resist that? And someone please tell me what a fruit machine is. Does it actually dispense an apple or plum when you insert a pound coin? (Dimmilan flickr)

An amazing collection of trippy, dreamy drawings from 70s-era NASA, reminding us that, “Though they’re often silly in retrospect, concept designs are a powerful tool. They’re lucid dreaming that the public gets to share in.”

My stamp arrived today! Along with a set of blank recycled cards. They are hand-cut with rounded corners using a traditional guillotine. Manufactured from 75% UK post consumer waste and 25% dung from the Sri Lankan elephant. The dung is collected, cleaned up and turned into pulp. The card itself it treated using non-chlorine methods to remove all bacteria, and is manufactured using the heritage steam-driven Fourdrinier machine, the worlds first mechanised paper-making machine dating back to 1895. Time to get stamping!
