Embroidered Felt Objects

A few Christmas' back I received a vintage typewriter from my boyfriend Brian. As a writer, I can't imagine a more fitting gift. Flickr user Blueblythemonster's felt vintage typewriters completely reminded me of my own. Their entire set of Embroidered Felt Objects is pretty impressive.

Bottlecap Collecting

I know few people who can't claim to collect something. Personally, I collect maps and watches. You could technically add books and vinyls to that list as well. Recently, Laura over at Quirkology posted on collections, asking readers what they have collected in the past, what they collect now, and what they hope to collect in the future. All these thoughts on the art of collecting was triggered by Bottlecaps, an impressive and extensive bottlecap collection documented on Flickr. If there is one thing to be learned from this photos, it's dedication.

Happy Weekend

Hopefully the weather is nice enough, wherever you find yourself, to ride one of these this weekend. My heart skipped a beat when I saw this photo. For more cycle inspiration, check out the rest of Kyle's (KJten22) Bikes! series on Flickr. Otherwise, have a wonderful weekend!

Scattered Images: Roberts Birze

Roberts Birze claims his photography "may not be good, but could possibly be interesting." It's most definitely good and undoubtedly interesting. His Scattered Images set is incredible and viewable via Flickr along with an explanation of his work.

Wi-Fi Camera Umbrella

Kinda like the Polite Umbrella, but so very much cooler. The Pileus Wi-Fi Camera Umbrella allows you to not only take photographs with your umbrella, but also upload them to flickr and view them instantly. The product's capabilities don't end there either, it also serves as a GPS and digital compass.

The Smithsonian on Flickr

The Smithsonian now has a flickr set of all 6,288 of their images.

"The site is breathtaking in scope, with imagery ranging from the historic cyanotypes of Edward Muybridge to historic photos from aviation, natural history, and many other fields. If the Smithsonian Institution is our attic, these photos are our collective scrapbook."

The images are in various albums according to their subject for easy viewing. This is what I'll be looking at for the next 2 hours.

Earth Album: See The World In Your Underware

Earth Album is an incredible interactive website made possible thanks to Goodgle Maps and Flickr. The site allows you to click just about anywhere on a map of world and view stunning pictures from that location. The photos are taken from the top Flickr images so they update often. I spent a good hour playing around on the site. The Czech Republic and Faeroe Islands were among my favorites. Check it out and enjoy your trip!
