Sum
Our lives summed up:
7 months having sex
30 years asleep
5 months reading magazines on the toilet
27 hours in pain
6 days clipping your nails
15 months looking for things you've lost
4 days crying - sorrow, laughter, self pity, pain
31 days laughing
18 months standing in a queue
2 years of boredom
one year reading
200 days in the shower
2 weeks wondering what happens when you die
77 hours of confusion
3 weeks realising you are wrong
6 weeks stopped on a red
7 hours vomiting
14 minutes of pure joy
2 days tying shoelaces
5 weeks being lost
51 days deciding what to wear
9 days pretending you understand
2 weeks counting money
34 days of longing
4 weeks sitting, thinking you should be doing something better
3 years swallowing food
5 days buttoning and zipping
1 minute reading this...take another hour or two and read the whole book...SUM by David Eagleman

Icelandic Chill
Here is jónsi's new track from his debut solo album that will be released on 5th April. This track "Go do" nods to his mother band Sigur Ros but more accessible.
And while we are in Iceland can you guess what Thorunn Arnadottir is wearing around her shoulders? It is her clock design, of course.
The "necklace" move around the cog with each bead falling after 5 minutes. The gold beads indicate midday and midnight and the red beads indicate the hours.
She also does venal radiators that change colour as they warm up!
And especially on a sunday, pour a fine glass of wine, pick up your favourite book, sit back and listen to Olafur Arnalds. You can see the Icelandic glaciers... Have a lovely day...

Group-Two
The Canadian Design Studio Group-Two are known for producing neat picture frames and handy accessories for Umbra, but they have some sublime other products. The three flower vase and LED Chandelier above as well as a beautiful salt and pepper set and curved vases.
Sugru
Just came across the lovely Jane from Sugru. This really does seem to be a breakthrough material. You need to read about it yourself, but it is a silicone based clay that is mouldable at roomtemp and in about 30mins forms an adhesive bond with metal, ceramic and plastic. Check out their blog for all the uses it has already been put to. On the downside it is sold out and they are trying to ramp up production to a commercial basis.

Lomography in the Pink
Is it Valentine's soon? Get into the Lomography vibe with his and hers Big PInk Fisheye 2 LC-A cameras. Just be aware of the golden rules...
- Take your camera everywhere you go
- Use it any time – day and night
- Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it
- Try the shot from the hip
- Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible
- Don’t think (william firebrace)
- Be fast
- You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film
- Afterwards either
- Don’t worry about any rules
"...occasional touches of whimsy and wonder..."
These exquisite ceramic pieces are made by Ontario based design pair coe&waito . Each piece is slip cast then hand finished. But you better hurry if you want a piece as they have finished production to concentrate on design consultancy.

Guess the location: Josef Hoflehner
A complete master of composition, Josef Hoflehner, traverses the globe capturing the normal and giving it such distinction. His books are wonderful journals of inspiration and his exhibitions are the truest means to access his work. A prolific and tireless artist. With such perfect composition where is the emotion...?
