Our pals at ExtremeCraft point to artist Brian Jungen who deconstructs/reconstructs Nikes into various forms reminiscent of dinosaur skulls, mandalas, ceremonial masks, and other sundry objects.

Scrap Skechbook
Jeffery Warren of Vestal Design has created an ingenious way to use up old scrap paper. Jeffrey says, “Bind all your old scrap paper and doodles into a new sketchbook, where the facing pages are all blank and the verso pages are covered in interesting and varied image fragments.” Link.
Cast On: A Podcast for Knitters
Beyond Utility writes, “Pod will eat itself! Despite being in existance for 5 months, the latest episode is hosted by a canadian guy who spoofs the format of the show. Pretty funny. Loved the light sabre noises for the ‘special’ knitting needles.” Link.
Cassette Stylus Test
Jeff writes – “After all the attention for hacked cassette decks on Make:BLOG and elsewhere, I was eager to hear what it sounded like to take the read-head out of a tape deck and play it across a tape “canvas”. Video included.” Link.
