A power cord that matches the way we work: multi-device, moving about and in need of flexibility. The PowerCube doesn't make you squeeze those big plugs in next to each other, each has its own face. And with integrated USB ports. Love it.

Blue & White Porcelain is a favorite decorative motif of Song Dynasty China and is probably why we refer to porcelain dinnerware as China. Here, Chinese artist Ah Xian brings some of that in a cheeky way to these lifelike human busts, leading to an uncanny marriage of the modern and the traditional.

With a lyrical ear and a fablist's heart, Josh Weil has constructed a stunning alternate world from a scrap of an idea (that Russsia was experimenting with sky mirrors to do away with the darkness in key northern cities) that tests the connection between two Russian brothers on two different paths.
In the section he read last night at LA's Skylight Books, the figure of the Ekranoplan - Caspian Sea Monster emerged as a hulking dark presence.
From wikipedia:
The Caspian Sea Monster, officially «KM» (Korabl Maket, Russian - Корабль-макет Naval Prototype),[1] also known as the "Kaspian Monster", was an experimental ekranoplan, developed at the design bureau of Rostislav Alexeyev.
The KM was designed in 1964 – 1965, and was unique in size and payload. The first spy photographs from American spy satellites showed a strange aircraft carrying letters "KM" on its fuselage. CIA disambiguated it as "Kaspian Monster", while it actually meant "Korabl maket" – "prototype ship" in Russian.
The ekranoplan had wingspan of 37.6 m, length – 92 m, maximum take-off weight – 544 tons. Until An-225 it was the largest aircraft in the world.
KM was designed as a special vehicle for the military and rescue teams. However designing such a machine caused serious difficulties. It was documented as a marine vessel and prior to the first flight a bottle of champagne was broken against its nose. It displayed the Soviet Navy Flag and was assigned to the Soviet Navy, since the ground effect is only possible within several meters from the surface. The new vehicle was, however, piloted by air force test pilots.

Rogelio Lara:
I picked up crayon from substitute teaching elementary. I drew them as rewards for the kids and started to really like what I drew. I started posting them on Facebook to get this girl's attention I got such a positive reaction from people that I kept on going. This particular series - Mythological Dreams - comes from my interest in Mythology - I played Dungeons and Dragons as a kid, and when my Philosophy professor introduced me to Joseph Campbell in community college I realized the importance and insight of the messages behind the mythology which only made me love it more.
