Sex In Art


SexInArt.jpgSex_In_Art_two.jpg

We love the way Australian-based website Sex In Art takes a healthy peek at all things arty and well…sexual. There's some beautiful illustration work up there and some evocative photography. Heck, we're getting a little hot under the collar just thinking about it. While most of the work they feature is work friendly, some of it isn't. Still, it's worth more than a casual glance.

24 Hours of Flickr


"What happens around the world in one day?" asks Flickr, the global photo community. "Life," they say. In celebration of life, and the vast number of Flickr users around the world, the team behind-the-scenes has organized the first day-long global photo project called 24 Hours of Flickr.

The idea is you, the Flickr user, venture out into your daily life on May 5, 2007, and capture what you see -- chronicle your day in pictures. Then join the group created for the event, 24 Hours of Flickr, and post your best single photo to the group. Then, according to the group notes, "the event will be commemorated by a companion 24 Hours of Flickr book, which will contain a selection of photographs chosen from the group."

If you plan on submitting a photo to the celebration, please also feel free to submit it to the Gadling photo group on Flickr. It might be chosen for our Photo of the Day in addition to being apart of 24 Hours of Flickr.

wire coat rack

i'm prepping a whole slew of trend slideshows for my milan coverage (stay tuned for the slideshows later this week: there will be at least 6 of them to cover the major trends at the fair) and this new design at dwr goes right along with one of them: wire frames. i saw so many wire chairs, lamps, sofas, desk and accessories at milan that i've got wire on the brain. this wire coat rack is available right here at dwr for $300- it's both expandable and corner-friendly.

tips

1.请在我的麻子脸上盖个章吧!

2.爱情是先单赢再双赢的游戏,何时都要当仁不让。

瞧我的经历,喜欢大学里一女孩,追了怕耽误她学业,等她毕业了也不敢追,怕耽误了工作,现在想追也追不成了。

3.春天杨絮里的微笑

下车时就有四支拍打着翅膀的喜鹊,到门口时,又有四支喜鹊在调皮,但不只是不是刚才见的那四支。

4.我的工作太勉强,从内心辞掉了工作。

5.这是一个闷骚的春天。

6.根据回忆,我是在小河边儿长大的。小时头发黄乱,大时牙齿黑黄。

Download of the Day: EverNote 2.0 (Windows)



Windows only: Capture, store and manage data with EverNote 2.0, the latest version of the popular note-taking application.
New to the program is embedded to-dos: You can insert to-do checkboxes anywhere within your notes, an action that automatically adds the note to the To-Do category. There's also a new clip tool that lets you add any visible screen content to a note. Other additions include a Note List view, note flags and a category locator. As in the beta release, EverNote can also leverage optional plug-ins to clip data from Internet Explorer, Firefox, Outlook and Thunderbird.
EverNote 2.0 is free; it runs wherever Windows does. If you're willing to pony up $49.95 for the Plus version, you can enjoy note synchronization between PCs, handwriting recognition and search, and Advanced Image Recognition, which enables you to search for typed and handwritten text within images. Thanks, Jim and Wade! —Rick Broida
