LA and NY based Zen Burger is a new restaurant serving up healthy tasty meatless fast-food. “It’s just like McDonald’s,” says co-owner James Tu, referring to his burger (Special ZenSauce and all), his free-range-egg sandwich with ZenSausage, and his chicken nuggets—all of them made from proprietary blends of vegetables, grains, and soy products. The soft-serve in the shakes is dairy-free, and the ZenTuna is mixed with Veganaise. There’s even a kids’ menu, with smaller portions and a toy included with every order (if that doesn’t work as an eat-your-veggies bribe, there are always warm chocolate-chip cookies for dessert).
Summertime and the livin' is ... breezy...

It's a pretty typical situation. You've been gaming for sixteen hours and drank every energy drink known to man and downed every upper, legal and otherwise to stay awake, but the inevitable has begun to happen - you're starting to get the dreaded drowsy head tilt. Maybe this means it's time to quit your session and get some rest. Think Geek thinks not. The better answer is to put on your Anti Sleep Driving Alarm and keep on going.
When he told a New York Times reporter that ethyl alcohol was "the fuel of the future" in 1925, he was expressing an opinion that was widely shared in the automotive industry. "The fuel of the future is going to come from fruit like that sumach out by the road, or from apples, weeds, sawdust -- almost anything," he said. "There is fuel in every bit of vegetable matter that can be fermented. There's enough alcohol in one year's yield of an acre of potatoes to drive the machinery necessary to cultivate the fields for a hundred years."

You wouldn't think that watermelons, decorating and painting a room would have anything in common, would you? Well they don't really, but this morning when I was playing around in photoshop (as i often do) with watermelon colors I made up these cool optical illusions. Look at them for awhile. One grows while the other shrinks...
Could this mean that painting a room dark with light furnishings will make it visually recede and appear larger, while painting it light with dark furnishings will do the opposite and make it seem smaller? Or the opposite?
But then which box looks larger - the light lime green or the dark magenta?? And then of course there are the factors of warm vs. cool colors, up lighting, overhead lighting or natural light, ceilings, floors, textures... Oh my, I'm confused. And plus these squares are starting to drive my eyes batty.

What do you get when you mix legos and art with three talented graphic designers? You get eBoy.
Berlin based eBoy, a pixel art group founded in 1998 by Steffen Sauerteig, Svend Smital and Kai Vermehr creates pixelated objects to make it's amazingly complex artwork. The designers have created entire ultra cool and colorful cityscapes of London, New York, Berlin ,Tokyo and Los Angeles and I'm sure more cities are coming. Their posters are rich in detail, pulled from pop culture and commercial icons in a 3d lego like style, filled with robots, cars, guns and girls. Look closely and you can make out every little rectangular pixel that makes these images so unique.
Shown below at one of their exhibitions in June. They also have a line of toys, the Peecol edition - eboy action figures if you will.
Don't we just love products that have more than one function? Over at my science project they did a weird experiment to see which carbohydrate made the coolest (literally) beer cozy. You know, that holder you set your beer in, to keep it cool (which btw should be called a beer cooly because any cozy I ever knew kept things warm, not cold).
So the candidates were: a clump of glazed donuts (I'm really plugging Krispy Kreme this week) , a stack of bagels, all cut to hold the can, and my favorite, Rice Crispies Treats, molded to hold the can. And the winner was: the Rice Crispies Treats!
They actually performed above the neoprene foam rubber can holders - keeping the beverage 2 degrees colder. Way to go, RCT! But the best part about these sweet sticky can holders is that when you're done drinking, there's always dessert.
Check out how to make your cool can holders and other cool experiments over at my science project
They promise to keep your beer JUST COOL ;)
