A year ago I predicted computers and other electronics would return to wooden framing that was so popular in the 70s and 80s. Well, I discovered something better on etsy.com: Old Time Computers makes custom made "steam punk" style monitors, keyboards, mice, and mouse pads. Would you buy?

when I first moved to SF in 2007, i came across an article about a french artist who designs and paints graphics onto women's vintage shoes. I wanted to either purchase or commission him to make a pair of my own, but never got around to it. Since then his work has grown quite a bit and all of the shoes are just as incredible as the next!
because of cyberspace it's been easy to follow his talent beyond shoes. his creativity shows even when experimenting with other mediums and working as a collaborator. If you haven't heard of him, I thought i'd share the inspiration with you all.

In any case, I think Hyperbole and a Half's blog post sums it up pretty well.
