This is a bumper edition of the guide to the Interneat to celebrate version 3.0 being resuscitated. Enjoy!

  • I am loving some of the gems that Letters of Note uncovers. The presidents address that would have been delivered by Richard Nixon in the event of the Apollo 11 mission being a disaster is fascinating (as is some of the discussion about the note itself).
  • Wicked little spot for Smart from those clever clogs at Buck. Love the style of this one.
  • The work of illustrator Ryan Snook is fantastic. I am particularly digging this ‘whale driver’.
  • Scottish trials mega freak Danny MacAskill has a new short flick, Way Back Home, shot beautifully in his home country. Danny does stuff that almost no one else in the world can on a bike. Red Bull sure know how to do sponsorship and branded content right.
  • Forget Avatar. The best use of 3D so far: 3DD - a book of three dimensional boobs. Probably not safe for work if your boss doesn’t like boobs. It’s art, ok.
  • An exhibition of incredible wallpaper that is made up of three different patterns in red, yellow & blue from Carnovsky. You can view the patterns individually by viewing through a filter.

  • Mattias Adolfsson has some of the most fantastic sketchbooks that I have ever seen. There is an incredible amount of detail & imagination in his sketches.

  • All round smart/creative/talented dude Evan Roth has created the Public Domain Donor system. Donate your ideas to the public domain on your death so that they may live on. Just print one out and stick it on your license.
  • My favourite infographic designer Nicholas Feltron whipped up this awesome caffeine monitor dashboard for the Build Conference.
  • The Underbelly project is an exhibition of street art from 103 artists that was 18 months in the making. Even more interestingly it was held in an abandoned part of the New York underground transport network. Would love to check it out for myself.

  • Brush & Spoke is a sweet blog dedicated to cycle related art. It can be a bit hipster tattoo & fixie fixated, but some really beautiful stuff in there.
  • I have a soft spot for stupid puns. The Narc-whal (from Iain Burke) hits that soft spot with a giant bat.

  • Floating DJ desk made from Lego. I want one.
  • Aussie sampling wiz kid Pogo has whipped up a couple of new tunes with accompanying videos. Crimson, which samples Dexter, is my favourite.

  • I have a new favourite stupid thing on the Internet: CAPTCHArt. Terribly drawn comments incorporating the all pervasive CAPTCHA phrases that everyone knows & loves.

Apologies for the technical difficulties that I have been experiencing over the past week or so. Unfortunately the outage coincided with me taking the piss out of the Angry Narwhal. I got my comeuppance.

Normal service shall now resume.

In this edition: beautiful pictures, crazy places, mathematical love stories, mash ups, visualising stock markets, music production, sleeping insects & perpetual creatives.

  • Incredible photos of the Bombay Beach & the Salton Sea here & here. The largest inland body of water in California, once touted as the “American Riviera”, now a polluted ghost town.

  • Math tells us 3 of the saddest love stories…
  • Absolutely beautiful illustration work from Johan Thörnqvist

  • I am not an artist is a project collecting little animated gifs celebrating/commiserating the paranoia of non stop design workers from international contributors.

  • Wait What has mashed up The XX with Notorious B.I.G. and the result is a full album released as a free (albeit 128kbps – ewww) dowload, The Notorious XX. On first listen a little disappointing, but something you might like to check out anyway. (You can also preview the whole thing over on Soundcloud if you don’t want to commit to downloading it)
  • Miroslaw Swietek captures sleeping insects covered in dew at 3am, making for some otherworldly photos. Apparently he is married. I wonder how his wife feels about his hobby?

  • The Hobnox Audiotool looks like a pretty powerful piece of audio production kit. Definitely something you could spend a few hours playing with.
  • Michael Najjr has an awesome set of images that visualise stock market indexes by creating mountain ranges from photographs he has taken (via information aesthetics).
