Think that's enough bad news for one night (working down my ‘things to blog’ folder). Check out these very cool bone china cans by Chinese artist Lei Xue.

UE aboard SS Independence/Oceanic
Brett steers me towards a great set of nighttime photos from a urban explorer onboard SS Independence/Oceanic, a derelict cruise liner tied up at SF.
Costume parties
So, turns out, there has been a second costume party worth going to :). Love the Sharbat Gula prop…
Geeky and shameless
Some dudes made a giant Settlers of Catan set for Burning Man in September. We wants :).
Of the many awesome things on the net
Birth of a supervillain wins for today.
Cooking of Catan
Not content with giant Catan, there had to come… annual cooking contests (thanks Sarah), recently completing its second year. The gingerbread of catan looks most playable but the cupcakes of catan look great. Tapas of Catan looks pretty swish too. Commence don't play with your food jokes…
Craig sez

We'd also like to believe he's one of our friends in Melbourne, but they're probably too busy, tall, and/or insufficiently funny.
GE Smart Grid promo augmented reality
The GE Smart Grid promo is very cool and has to be tried to be believed.

This is so you can centrifuge it and increase its applications. " and “I purchased this product 4.47 Billion Years ago and when I opened it today, it was half empty.” and -
Stitch Wars
Taking Craft 2.0 to its logical conclusion: Stitch Wars, a handmade exhibition in Florida. More photos on Flickr.
Refacing government tender
I think the Emo Lincoln is the best of a good set, though the 70's black Washington is a close second. (Thanks Jess)
Windows 3.11 for the web
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but some people have far too much free time. Even supports the MS-DOS Prompt!
Pancake excellence
Luther linked us up to an awesome set of pancake photos – not just an entire burger made out of pikelets, but a three-dimensional tower crane!
Marbles rolling up illusion
Janne posted this amazing video of a very carefully set up illusion where the marbles appear quite clearly to run uphill. Good work Koukichi Sugihara!
