Where Tarantino came from
I’ve heard about this on and off over the years, but had never seen it until Kottke posted a link this morning: It’s a clip from “My Best Friend’s Birthday,” Quentin Tarantino’s first film, ca. 1987. If I didn’t know better, and I’m not sure I do, I’d suspect it’s an elaborate prank. The young Tarantino who appears as a motormouth DJ is a pretty good caricature of everything we associate with Tarantino the actor — all the hyperkinetic, can’t-sit-still, chew-the-scenery mannerisms are there in full. Fortunately, the things we associate with Tarantino the writer are present too — the black humor, the perfect pauses, the on-a-dime conversational switches. The directing? It’s a wash. The thing’s pretty primitive, but most of it was apparently destroyed in a fire at the lab. Still, it’s a satisfying glimpse of one of our greatest, weirdest auteurs in utero.

Infographic
By offering up clearly presented information, infographics have the power to not only engage onlookers but effectively communicate knowledge in a concise way.
A picture is worth a thousand words right? But what about a picture AND a thousand words? Whoa. You may just have an infographic on your hands.
The Octopus Chair by Maximo Riera
The Octopus Chair by Maximo Riera, the first piece from his Animal Chair collection.
The Animal Chair collection constitutes a diverse range of species, from mammals to reptiles, and even including insects. Each creation retains the animal’s natural vitality whilst being totally biological accurate in their appearance. This collection is homage to these animals and the whole animal kingdom which inhabits our planet, as an attempt to reflect and capture the beauty of nature in each living thing.
Tetris Sugar Cubes
Though just a concept, we’re pretty sure that these Tertris Sugar Cubes by Danil Zdorov, could really take off. Many retro game fans would be more than pleased to sweeten their coffee or tea with the famous cubes. The only thing that could make them cooler? Food coloring.
A genuine collection of cans.
Art and History – definitely art history – are probably subjects you didn’t pay much attention to in school. Beer, on the other hand, was probably your favorite subject throughout most of college. It has a way of changing evening the largest problems, like learning, into forgettable afterthoughts – like this book for instance. Beer: A Genuine Collection of Cans covers the art and history of the last century of beer cans. The full color book will trick you in to learning, but when it’s about beer that’s not going to bother you. Due to supply shortage and government regulations, Encyclopedia Beertanica does not come with ancient, skunked cold ones. Yes, this book is BYOB.
