123 years of the Financial Times masthead – subtle, measured, considered – unlike, say, Western capitalism.
Behold the EC-135 ADAC Notarzt Christoph 33 – the world’s biggest turbine powered remote control helicopter being out through its paces by Michael Franke at a model aircraft meeting in Damelung, Germany.
They’ve ordered one for Michael D, etc.
The ‘Back To Back’
The ‘Pick-Me-Up’
The ‘Well, Here’s Everyone!’
The ‘Two Guys, One Girl’ 
The ‘Men Are Inept, And I Have To Do Everything Around Here’.
And we’re done.
Behold the defiant snout of a 1964 Cheetah race car – Chevrolet’s answer to the Shelby Cobra and one of only 15 original vehicles known to have survived.
Style Is Substance – a tribute to the work of the late graphic designer and opening titles supremo Saul Bass by The Royal Ocean Film Society.

behold the Toyota concept-i vehicle, recently premiered at CES 2017. A kind of ‘touchy-feelicle’, built around a powerful AI system (called ‘yui’) designed to ‘build a relationship’ with the human user. The concept-i also has automated safety systems along with ‘visual and touch-based stimuli’ to match driver responsiveness.
Eww.
Downloadable posters for the Women’s March on Washington – January 21, 2017 by Dome Collective.
A 1955 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing – once the property of its sole owner, pilot and US Merchant Marine, Sig Noygren – it’s been in dry storage since 1976.
From the Fire Engine Red paint and red plaid upholstery, the car (with just 32,239 miles on the clock) remains in its original state aside from custom enhancements, including a chronometer, altimeter, and thermometer, as well as fog lights, an eight-track player, and a defroster fan.
Yours for around $1,000,000.
Pleasing arrangements from the Instagram feed of visual artist Adam Hillman – Zen-like colour-gradient patterns of everyday objects and foods, organised neatly.

Using old school analogue visual effects like ink dispersing in an aquarium and pinholes in tissue paper to represent stars, Thomas Vanz creates a very impressive and highly plausible representation of a dying sun going supernova. To wit:
Novae is a movie about an astronomical event that occurs during the last evolutionary stages of a massive star’s life, whose dramatic and catastrophic death is marked by one final titanic explosion called supernova. By only using an aquarium, ink and water, this film is also an attempt to represent the giant with the small without any computed generated imagery.
