This blog is highly visual which probably why I like it so much (I'm the kid who likes magazines for the pictures). The way this site brings together so many different "cool things" into one place provides much opportunity for inspiration and additions to a personal image bank to draw upon for later use. Its also collective. One person manages it but he gets tips and pics from around the world from other people, which makes it so much more interesting.
who wouldn't want to work in an office like this:
or listen to music in your own personal music box like this: (made out of cardboard)
another creative use of cardboard:
items like these fall under the UIBFA (useless-indulgent but-fabulous-anyway) category:
anyways these are just a couple of examples... check it out. My only grievance is it isn't updated super frequently, but everything that is updated is quality.

I love this. It reminds me of another useless site I came across a while ago, of Japanese artists who carve plain old pencils into really intricate forms (like chains), pretty ridiculous. I would love to have that green and white room. Maybe I shall.
I'm very guilty of using the web specifically for my own interests and blogs I use particularly for information. I loved this blog though. I can understand now how people would get lost in cyber space, exploring useless stuff! Great website!
Thats great. I really like the pictures, and creativity with the blog. I wouldn't usually go out of my way to find things like that, but the blog is really interesting in how it combines so many unique artistic designs. The pictures are great! They make the blog really fun and engaging!
Useless! Really? I think of it as innovation and imagination. People are finding new ways to look at the world and objects around us. Reusing everyday objects and turning them into something extraordinary. Who decides whats useful or not? Does it have to make a profit, or just provide a little satisfaction before it is, "useful,"? Where do we draw the line?
