A cappella Star Wars theme song (1 video)

A cappella Star Wars theme song (1 video)

I love these multi-track a cappella songs floating around the internet, and this one might be the most impressive I’ve ever seen.  Basically, this gentleman sings each instrumental part of the song, then layers them together digitally. Granted, I’ve only seen a couple of the Star Wars films, but everyone knows this song.  It’s like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song – even if you didn’t watch the show, you...

Grilled cheese in the toaster? Don’t mind if I do (1 image, 1 video)

I know this is pathetic to say, but sometimes I want a grilled cheese but don’t want to go to the trouble of making one.  More precisely, I don’t feel like dirtying and then washing the dishes necessary for making a grilled cheese. Enter the Toastabag, reusable bags / sleeves designed by Dutch design company Bosta that allow you to make a grille cheese right inside your toaster.  No mess.  No clean-up.  It’s the lazy...

Video Puzzle – We Are Young acoustic cover made with four iPhones (1 video)

First off, let me apologize for that atrocious post title.  I couldn’t figure out how to appropriately explain the video, and I gave up trying to reword it. Second, let me say that this music video by MysteryGuitarMan is ridiculously impressive.  Ridiculously impressive.  He claims that this is take #238 – and I fully believe it. Basically, it is a music video for his acoustic cover of the song We Are Young, done as a video /...

Wedding invitations – You’re doing it right (35 images)

When I came home the other day, my girlfriend was looking at wedding stuff online – just for fun, no pressure – she assured me.  And it got me thinking about just how much thought goes into the planning of a wedding, and how many options there are. Whenever I think of options on that scale, I like to see what creative solutions others have come up with, and I wasn’t disappointed to find these awesome wedding invitations....

Creative playgrounds by Monstrum (9 images)

It seems like it would be hard to make playgrounds even more fun, but Dutch design firm Monstrum proves that all it takes is a little imagination.  I remember playing on the playground very well as a kid, and I had no trouble imagining the playground to be all sorts of things, I can’t imagine how much more interesting play time could have been on these playgrounds. Though perhaps not the most practical, I think I like the one that looks...

Coffee art (35 images)

I’ve mentioned my coffee addiction here before, and nothing has changed since then.  I still think about coffee, dream about it, and yes, drink quite a bit as well.  Combine that with my love of art, and this post is a match made in heaven. Not only is coffee delicious, aromatic, and never judges, but also takes on some really beautiful colors.  Expect to see a coffee-colored Drafting Club logo redesign...
