ULTIMATE
This was the iPhone of the ’30s. Popular among spies, this amazing device was in development for years by my new hero, Noel Pemberton Billing — aviator, inventor, and British Lord. It’s made out of about a billion interlocking bits of aluminum and has a fully functional camera and great number of specialized tools and blades that fold out. They originally sold for 30 pounds sterling, which doesn’t sound like a lot but certainly was back then, and now go for around $2000.
Seriously, this is one of the coolest gadgets I’ve ever seen in my life.

The most valuable thing you can make is a mistake - you can’t learn anything from being perfect.

Beached from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.
This tilt-shifted beach scenes makes everyone look like mini-mes on a mission. The technique, which uses reduced depth of field tricks to make things look “tiny” is actually on optical illusion. We’re used to “focusing” on things close up and leaving the rest of the field of vision blurry so by recreating this on film or video we essentially convince our brains that we’re watching something amazingly tiny.

BANSKY
After painting the town in New Orleans this past week, rogue British street artist BANKSY had the good sense to get out of Hurricane Gustav’s way and piloted his caravan towards the Old South stronghold of ALABAMA where these newest hits quickly popped up. Keep an eye on ST for updates as Her Majesty’s royal artist makes his way east, spraycan in hand. HAVE A LOOK:
