A concept chess set made by Holor Institute Of Technology Industrial Design student Orr Kisley where a captured piece is kept underneath its captor to ‘help players retrace their game’.
Also handy for stacking, spirit measures, use as comedy monocles, and so forth.

Good, hairy times.

The fourth, and final cover competition winner
By Julianna Szabo, a 3rd year Visual Communication student at NCAD.
Sez Julianne:
I moved to Dublin from Hungary six years ago with an IT masters degree in my pocket but I already knew that graphic design is what I would really like to do.
The idea (above) is based on a colourful balloon that colours the world while flying over the Irish countryside. This is why the scenery in front of the balloon is built of different shades of grey while the side where the balloon has already passed has become colourful with the many greens of the fields and the many blues of the sky. As I love working with paper I’ve built the image of layers of cut and torn paper.

My friend and colleague Matt (a Broadsheet fan, just sayin’) is leaving Dublin end of this week and made this superb video about Dublin. It’s going viral on my newsfeed already, thought it might be something for you guys as well?
Minutes ago.
Thanks OC and Ronan Faherty

What you may need to know:
1. This is possibly the most insane trailer in the history of cinema.
2. They’ve given up trying to come up with variations on the words ‘fast’ and ‘furious’.
3. First rule of sequels: any movie is better if you stick The Rock in it. Movies we wish The Rock had been in: What Richard Did (2012), Lincoln (2012) and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011).
4. Vin Diesel just signed up for a Kojak movie. Seriously, like.
5. Also in the mix this time: Gina Carano from Soderbergh’s Haywire (2011). She kicks ass.
6. Flying cop car at 1’20.
7. ‘Guys… They got a tank.’
8. Now THAT’S what we call a popcorn flick.
9. They have to do the next one in Donegal.
Release Date: May
The Foyle Embankment and City Council Offices, Derry, on Tuesday night.
And isn’t it well for them?

Oh.

They said it shouldn’t be done.
But what do ‘they’ know?
The Broadsheet Book of Unspecified Things That Look Like Ireland (New Island) Edited by Aidan Coughlan, has literally ‘gone to press this morning.
It should be ready to purchase off the shelves by March 17.
The above cover was finally chosen after many tantrums, stormouts and resignations some discussion.
Thankfully it was a quiet night on the ‘news’ front.
Back in 2009, and covered by Hack A Day at the time, Austrian composer Peter Ablinger deconstructed a recording of a child’s voice into its singular frequencies and programmed a solenoid-driven piano to play each one in turn.
The result was somewhat unnerving.
