When illustrator Marlin Peterson was commissioned by the Washington State Artist Trust to create a mural in the city recently, he chose the roof of the Seattle Center Armory (which can be viewed from the nearby Space Needle) and got to work on two huge trompe l’oeil daddy long-legs.

More pix and an explanation of Peterson’s process here.

Who needs boring old USB connector cables when, for $30, you can have a nifty stick thing with a rotating head featuring mini-USB, micro-USB and 30-pin Apple connector.

And you can clip it into your pocket like a pen.

Like a pen.

Remember Cycling with Ally?

Paddy Cahill writes:

Ollie is originally from Belgium, he moved to Ireland to do a masters in business and eight years later he is still here. Inspired by seeing Reva electric cars on a trip to India he set up the company Greenaer with his Irish wife Lisa. The company started with the electric cars, then included electric bikes and now a line of Dutch delivery bikes. We went for a cycle with Ollie and he shared his thoughts on what its like to move to Ireland, business, and cycling! We have a new blog where you can see all the videos  and we are also on Facebook.
