Self-Learning: The New Master’s Degree
The free wheeling heydays of paying 100s of thousands of dollars for an education while driving around with the top down screaming, “Money ain’t a thang,” times may soon be over. People are getting tired of paying an exuberant amount of money for a quality education — and not even the best in the world. Employers are starting to care less and less about your degree, or where you went to school; but, more about the actual skills you possess. Self-learning is going to become the new way to advance yourself, learn new skills, and become your master’s degree of the future.

It All Started With One Bite…
As technology continues to adapt and better products are coming out more quickly than ever before, maybe Steve Jobs chose the apple as a warning for us- like the one from the Garden of Eden. Maybe it’s a warning about becoming too dependent on technology…and we’ve already taken a bite. On a lighter note, here are some awesome stickers to decorate your macbook. Get them fast because Apple will probably find a way to make them incompatible with the next model! [Read more...]

Re-membering Barbie: Fine Jewelry Made from the Icon
To some, dismembered Barbie is creepy, to others, plastic body parts are the perfect medium for jewelry. Barbie is the icon of little girls everywhere and a representation of childhood to women who enjoyed Barbie’s company when they were small. One woman, Margaux Lange, uses the nostalgia of Barbie as inspiration for her jewelry line, Plastic Body Series. She repurposes salvaged body parts and combines them with silver and colored resins to make unique Barbie (and Ken) body jewelry. Though there is a slightly creepy vibe to the jewelry if you think about it too hard, it is still beautiful and creative in its own way. It takes a second look to realize that the jewelry is actually made from Barbie, and Lange finds interesting ways to use pretty much every last inch of the doll and her six-pack clad boyfriend. “The collection is a result of a life-long fascination with the icon, and a desire to re-purpose mass produced materials into handmade, wearable art jewelry,” Lange said on her Etsy profile.

I’ve watched this 5 times and it still looks gorgeous. [Read more...]
Star Wars Invades Reykjavik
Intergalactic battle isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you’re thinking about Reykjavik, Iceland… especially when you consider the governments recent precedent setting pushes for global transparency and freedom of speech… but don’t tell designer Sig Vicious that. He’s created a series of 10 images which capture the peaceful city under crazy assault by Snowspeeders, AT-ATs, AT-STs, X-Wings… just about all the war hardware from the first Star Wars movies. It’s all out war in black and white (bonus points if you spot the Challenger explosion in one of these images). [Read more...]
