Modern Hacking

I find this really funny, unless there really were fast-moving zombies like the ones in 28 Days Later. That movie was really gross and scary.

Apparently, the D.O.T. is not finding these pranks funny. As long as they are not causing any accidents, they seem rather harmless. Other signs said “The End Is Near” and “Run For Cold Climates.” If you had access to these signs, what would you write? This seems like art to me. Would you classify it as art?

…are there ants on the ceiling at the Atlanta airport? I’m always afraid they are some freak species that were smuggled in a suitcase coming from South America or something. Jet-lagged people do not need to see this before they are able to get out of the airport.

Sorry to deviate away from inspiring home design ideas, but I have to share the look my 3 year old niece presented me when I gave her a zid zid kids bird cushion:

Needless to say, she liked her gift.

1) A peep into the new Ace Hotel in New York City via Gothamist:

2) Cheery Color Therapy for Depressed Times over at It’s All So Lovely:

3) One of my favorite blogs is VisuaLingual. I’m not sure how I found it; I think I was checking out Cincy stuff because I grew up there and love the city. She finds the coolest things like this (Dispatchwork by Jan Vormann):

…and this Charley Harper Mural in Cincinnati I never knew about in the eleven years I lived there:

For more great photos of this mural, check out VisuaLingual.

4) Yellow makes me SO happy! Elements of Style has a great collection of yellow images and goods right here:

I did a post of yellow with black and white awhile back. It’s right here.

5) Spaceinvading. I am HOOKED!

6) Vanessa De Vargas rounded up some of L.A.’s hottest designers to share their favorite trends over at AT:LA. The post is here.

1) Ace Hotel photos by Katie Sokoler for Gothamist

2) from Living Etc. via It’s All So Lovely

3) from Jan Vormann via VisuaLingual; by Maya Drozdz at VisuaLingual

4) via Elements of Style. I think this photo was originally from Cottage Living.

5) Image © jamesapallister. Building is Arevalo Studio by Mole Architects via Spaceinvading.
