beautiful design for beautiful lifestyle

Image
Beautiful Life is an online magazine dedicated to all aspects of design, featuring interesting and unique information about creative design, beautiful art and luxury lifestyle. There are a number of excellent design samples, such as a digital mechanic clock that displays time in a very unusual way. With every single minute, a few of the small bars in the numbers move or spread over the black surface to disappear in the frame, while the rest regroup to show the current time. Another one is an interesting "smart" house featuring full automation and ability of independent existence. It has roof covered with solar panels, it can collect fresh water from rains, it has toilets that are connected to the compost container in the basement, where all the organic waste will be converted into clean, dry compost that needs to be removed only twice a year. All functions of the house are monitored by an array of sensors, and regulated by a house brain that can be controlled trough any l...

to design for beauty or the beauty of design

Image
It is hard to deny the fact that there is a fine line between design and beauty. An object that has a clever design is undoubtedly an object of beauty, at least in all things natural. Take a shell for example. It has a beautiful structure with all the high and low areas of curvature; or take a flower that has spellbinding vigour! If you are one of those who thinks comparison of design with natural things is futile, then think again. Aren’t human beings natural? Don’t we derive our every inspiration from nature? People at Yanko Design have been working hard, designing better and beautiful things. Browsing through products on their store, I found it difficult to determine which one was an actual product and which one was conceptual. It is recommended to browse through their RANDOM DESIGN section on the homepage.

can you feel the love tonight

There's a calm surrender to the rush of day When the heat of the rolling world can be turned away An enchanted moment, and it sees me through It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you And can you feel the love tonight It is where we are It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer That we got this far And can you feel the love tonight How it's laid to rest It's enough to make kings and vagabonds Believe the very best There's a time for everyone if they only learn That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours Technorati Tags: oscar winning song , disney songs , great animated movie songs , the lion king ost , elton john , tim rice , best of elton john , hit singles , best original song , elton john grammy

create barcode for your name

Image
This is an addictive source to create a barcode of your name. Just enter your name in the DATA TO ENCODE field and click Submit . Or, if you are curious enough, feel free to try out various settings. I generated a barcode for Pushmind Publishing. Above is a classic 2D barcode; but encoding is not limited to this. There are other methods of encoding, such as the QR Code below, again for Pushmind Publishing. While you’re at it, why not find out how much does your barcode really worth ?

curses of captain haddock

Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles! This collection is splendid but not meant for some raggle-taggle ruminants . Lily-livered landlubbers need not see it unless they are megacycle pyromaniacs. To think of it, Captain Haddock is definitely not a miserable molecule of mildew , neither does he like miserable blundering barbecued blister but on second thoughts, ten thousand thundering typhoons is a different story - one that might change your mind into looking this list. Diplodocus , cushion-footed quadrupeds and iconoclasts are most welcome; and bring some sea-gherkins or saucy tramps while you're at it .
