Here is an amazingly high resolution photo of San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake. I have no idea how they got such a detailed shot like that at the turn of the century. How do you manually stitch that many pictures?
I don’t even know how much an average car paint job goes for these days. One thing’s for sure, it’s far more then 50 bucks. Think you could go from this…
After everything, I can say I’m –very– sold on the method of application. No booth, no paint gun/equipment, very little masking, no overspray.
… to this? … and all with only $50.00 in paint. After reading about it in a forum, this guy did just that. Find out how at:

This city makes money, loses money, houses money; lately, with luxe condos stacking up like casino chips along the waterfront, the city looks like money. What’s amazing, then, is how little we truly know about the inner workings of this beast we feed, and milk, daily: How does New York make its money?
This article takes a look at various jobs in New York, finding out which ones are easy and profitable, and which ones are just the opposite. Ever wonder how much a drug dealer makes in a year? How about the profitability of a baseball team or the salary of a taxi driver? If so, go check out the article at:

I never liked the 2010 Olympic symbol. To me it looks unrefined and quite simply, it doesn’t say “Vancouver.” I realize it’s important to acknowledge BC’s connection with the First Nations. Fair enough. But is a inukshuk, an Inuit creation, really a symbol of Vancouver’s rich landscape and vibrant multi cultural society? Did the Aboriginal people around Vancouver even use it? To me it would seem to be more of a symbol of of Northwest Territories or Nunavut. There are far more interesting and relevant icons of Vancouver to focus a logo design on.
Despite the 2010 logo’s shortcomings, things could definitely be worse. Just take the 2012 London Olympic Games symbol. I have no idea what the designers were thinking, and I am even more mystified as to how someone would pay them to use the logo. One headline on reddit.com stated that it “resembles Lisa Simpson giving head.” You can’t get a better endorsement then that. Suddenly the Vancouver logo isn’t looking to bad.
BBC — London 2012 logo revealed
Update: A 2012 promotional video featuring the logo has been banned from airing again because it “could trigger epileptic fits.” Officials maintain that these health concerns are not a result of the logo itself.
