Museum of Fakes

Matthew Rodriguez — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 03:44:28 +0000

I need to stop by this gallery if I’m ever in Solingen, Germany.

Museum Plagiarius…a gallery that showcases the nuances of knockoffs by exhibiting fakes alongside their authentic counterparts. Every year curators add to the collection by soliciting nominees for the Plagiarius Awards. Designers and manufacturers submit the offending objects, and the “winners” earn a spot in the museum.

I’m going to submit burritos from NYC as counterfeits of what a real burrito should taste like.

For Your Consideration

Nicole Trunfio. Australian model. Singer in a rock band. And the best part: skateboarder.

Santa Monica Shangri-La

Matthew Rodriguez — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 03:18:19 +0000

This family’s unique home in Santa Monica includes this bad ass rock climbing wall for their two boys.

Incredible Ball Boy Catch

Matthew Rodriguez — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 03:13:29 +0000

Yeah, yeah Djokovic and Nadal’s final match in the Australian Open was one for the ages, but the highlight of the entire tournament was this ball boy’s lightning quick reflexes.

Scene in Beijing

My friend sent me this photo snapped in Beijing by her brother of what I think is a restaurant, but I’m not too entirely sure.

History of R&B

Matthew Rodriguez — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 03:59:44 +0000

One of my favorite YouTube comics (who has a mean voice) David So and Paul Kim, another popular singer on YouTube takes the viewer on a journey of R&B music in this collaboration along with a jaw dropping surprise guest appearance around the 2:52 mark. After you watch this you will want to go to karaoke stat.

Cabin Porn

I love NYC. It’s my home, but I wouldn’t mind a week at one of these cabins so I can finally finish this book.

Kim Dotcom

Matthew Rodriguez — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:06:06 +0000

Despite the serious legal implications for content sharing, the best thing so far to emerge from the Megaupload shutdown has been Kim Dotcom (Yes, the website’s owner changed his surname from Schmitz to DOTCOM) and the photo above that best illustrates his Hype Williams rap video lifestyle: “He surrounded himself with glamorous women and fast cars bearing number plates such as “GUILTY”. He likened himself to Dr Evil, a movie villain, though he looks more like Dr Evil’s henchman, Fat Bastard.”

Interactive Still Life Painting

Matthew Rodriguez — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:54:47 +0000

Skip to the 0:23 mark to see why this still life “painting” by Scott Garner is brilliant and blog worthy, because you know, “blog worthy” is the ultimate compliment in life 2.0.
