An Abrupt End is a project completed by
James Huse who uses milk-filled balloons and explodes them while capturing the beauty at high-speed. We would only see it happen so quickly with the naked eye but now with the right techniques, equipment and skill we get to see this on a totally different level. These inverted balloon photos have a unique flare or wave to them that seems like a dark and cold surface. It could be the use of the milk that makes them seem so thick and textured.

When your Windows computer is being a bit slow, when its memory is fragmented, when the threads of its normal execution become so tangled that it's no longer considered useful, the one thing that will refresh it fully is the troika of buttons "Ctrl - Alt - Del." Hitting those three buttons are designed to interrupt the computers processes, clearing out the memory, and recycling the system power.
The
Ctrl-Alt-Delete Cup set ($11.99) by
ThinkGeek are designed to provide another stylish way of interrupting your day. Now when you feel that your becoming like your computer. You can then turn over your Ctrl-Alt-Delete Cups and clear out your lagging day with something to boast your energy a.k.a coffee.

This sweet looking concept bike the
Potenza, a vehicle by Argentinian designer Nico Jara, is a simple concept on devising a four-wheeled bike that stores energy from pedaling and later converting it into kinetic energy. This concept adopts the sustainable concept on storing the energy to power the bike once enough energy has been stored.
The four-wheeled bike has an elegant design that features four spoked wheels and a canopy up top to protect riders from the elements. It has a box in the back between the two rear wheels that seems to be the device where energy is stored or collected. I'm not sure how practical this bike would be since it is only in the prototype phase but would you ride around in this Potenza?

This particular house located in Whistler, Canada is called the Compass Pointe House and was designed by
Sean Anderson while the interior & exterior finishing touches were done by
Kelly Deck.
The home with its beautiful wood floors and heated tiles and two story vaulted ceilings, how can you go wrong with that? The main areas of the home that catch my attention is the kitchen and the office room, plus the view outside is breathtaking and peaceful. This contemporary home will run you some serious cash though, about $6,490,000 to be exact.

Nick Bertke, better known on the web and music scene as
Pogo has caught my attention this morning with his video called "Bloom'. It's a patchwork of vocals and musical chords from various Disney films remixed into harmony. After watching this video I started to sift through his Youtube channel and I have added the ones that I thought were cool. So happy Monday!
