Flashmob of the Day: A flashmob invaded a Copenhagen, Denmark Metro train last month, but in this case, the flashmob was the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra.
They treated unsuspecting commuters to a performance of Grieg’s “Peer Gynt,” and creative agency Makropol captured the whole thing on video.
Right about now, a few people on that train are probably wishing they had taken their earbuds out.

Post-Apocalyptic World of the Day: Lucie & Simon, a self-taught artistic duo out of France, have traveled the world photographing major metropolitan areas — such as Times Square and the Louvre — without signs of life. Their technique involves using a neutral density filter that allows for extra-long exposures, which removes moving objects like people and cars.
Don’t miss the rest of their series, Silent World, or the short film that pairs their images with music.

Sage Advice of the Day: Henry Rollins, the relentlessly outspoken hardcore music icon — the Black Flag bearer of modern punk, if you will — recently participated in a “Letters to a Young American” project. What follows is an excerpt from Part 1 and Part 2.
“You’ll find in your life that sometimes your great ambitions will be momentarily stymied, thwarted, marginalized by those who were perhaps luckier; come from money; had more doors opened; where college was a given, not a student loan; it was something that dad paid for; where an ease and confidence in life was almost a birthright. Where for you, it was a very hard climb. … That happens all the time.
Just because you come from nothing, you must not let that be something that holds you back.”
Poignant, and more relevant than ever.

Post Itable concept by Soup Studio
If I could buy this right now I would. I may actually see how I can make this since it is not real. Designed by Soup Studio for the 2008 International Designer’s Workstation Competition and won honorable mention. It should have won the whole darn thing!
On a side conversation, design competitions such as that one drive me crazy. I’m assuming this design didn’t win because it wasn’t as flashy and complex as the other designs. But it should have won because of simplicity, feasibility & price point. All of the other designs would literally cost someone thousands of dollars to buy, and yet this table probably only a couple hundred.
