Luxirare, my very favorite, over-the-top, superfluous (in the best possible sense) recipe blog. We've witnessed the Pie-On-a-Stick, and marveled the beautiful Jell-O shots. Now Luxirare demonstrates how to make some exceedingly fancy potato chips. These aren't your typical store bought snacks.

While the images are definitely cg mockups, the concept is awesome. I've personally been working on disaster relief shelters, but my concepts all involve using fresh PVC pipe. These guys have taken it a step further by taking vinyl sign material that is headed for landfills and recycling it into homes.
The little pumpkins you can buy at the store can be great decorations at the house around Halloween time, but why not make them a little more interesting?

Here is the movie trailer for the feature film "Somewhere" directed by Sofia Coppola Here are 3 movie clips for the feature film "Somewhere" The weirdest thing about this film to me is that I actually happened to be at Stephen Dorff's house in Malibu when he got the call from Sofia about this film. I was there for a totally different project, but he was very excited. I think this film looks really great, when Sofia tackles stardom I think she really shines.
