Los “Kei Trucks” o , “Kei-tora”, son unas camionetas japonesas de pequeñas dimensiones muy típicas del país nipón que se han popularizado por gran parte de Asia. Si alguna vez viajas a Japón, seguro que te sorprenderán los diseños rectangulares y tamaños reducidos tanto de coches como camionetas y es que, allí, suelen ser muy prácticos a la hora de escoger vehículo y los “Kei Trucks” o los “Key Cars” van genial para la escasez de espacio y el diseño de las calles y aparcamientos japoneses.

Son tan populares entre el sector de la construcción y gran parte de la industria nipona, que la Federación japonesa de contratistas de paisajismo lleva tiempo realizando el concurso anual de paisajismo en Kei Trucks.

Básicamente consiste en un concurso en el que los participantes llevan su mini camioneta y disponen de varias horas para crear un paisaje en la parte trasera. Después, los jueces establecen una serie de puntos basados en la planificación, expresión, diseño, ejecución y entorno.

Aquí tienes varios de los paisajes presentados durante la última edición, cada uno con su estilo particular. Puedes ver más en la web del concurso celebrado en Osaka

Apple’s value passed $1 trillion on Thursday, and as tradition requires, we must consider the scale of such a large number. We must compare the value of Apple against the sum value of a surprising number of small and medium companies. The New York Times has you covered with a bucket of blobs metaphor.

So blobby. So bucket-y.

Southbank by Beulah by UN Studio

UNStudio’s design for a new mixed-use development in Melbourne. The project includes areas for recreation, retail, offices, residential, hotel, and exhibition spaces organized around a vertical “Green Spine”.

Le street-artist portugais Odeith, précédemment évoqué dans l’un de nos articles, originaire de Damaia, débute dans le monde du graffiti dans les années 1990. Il réalise ses premiers essais sur des murs urbains, ou encore sur des voies ferrées. Passionné par le dessin depuis sa tendre enfance, il peut désormais le faire évoluer à travers le street-art : il décide de créer des portraits muraux à grande échelle dans les rues portugaises.

Il sera par la suite distingué à l’international grâce à ses illusions d’optique et ses nombreuses réalisations en perspective, sur des surfaces différentes. Ses incroyables fresques, impressionnantes de réalisme, constituent une partie importante de ses créations, ainsi que de nombreuses réalisations en 3D, qui feront de lui un maître dans le domaine du street-art.

Ses prises de vue mettent en évidence les transformations apportées par l’homme aux paysages naturels. Les producteurs de tulipes néerlandais cultivent environ deux milliards de tulipes chaque année.  Vus de haut, ces paysages nous  troublent par leur beauté et la dureté du message.

Hay muchas razones por la que alguien puede querer comprarse una moto de gran cilindrada y precio disparatado, pero hoy solo nos vamos a centrar en una: si quieres una super-moto para llamar la atención por la calle, presta atención. Puede que no necesites un presupuesto muy elevado.

La idea es comprar una económica scooter o ciclomotor que cumpla dos sencillas condiciones: la primera, que pueda llevar a un pasajero en el asiento de atrás, y la segunda, que encuentres a algún amiguete experto en tocar el trombón.

A partir de ahí, solo has de dar gas y, aunque no vayas a más de 50 km/h, te aseguramos que serás el centro de atención al pasar por delante de aquellos/as a quien quieras impresionar.

Tabula Rogeriana  (2011)
by DAVIDE MONTELEONE

With Numberphile, Lisa Goldberg discusses her research with Alon Daks and Nishant Desai at the University of California, Berkeley on the hot hand in basketball. When a player is hitting shots, is he more likely to hit the next one? The experiment results suggest that the hot hand is actually just randomness.

That said, there are other points of view on this topic.

As a statistician, I don’t think the hot hand exists mathematically, but as a sports fan, I’m more than happy to ride the wave of excitement.

Facebook and Google (among other companies) know a lot about you through the services you use. Dylan Curran for The Guardian provides a rundown:

This information has millions of nefarious uses. You say you’re not a terrorist. Then how come you were googling Isis? Work at Google and you’re suspicious of your wife? Perfect, just look up her location and search history for the last 10 years. Manage to gain access to someone’s Google account? Perfect, you have a chronological diary of everything that person has done for the last 10 years.

This is one of the craziest things about the modern age. We would never let the government or a corporation put cameras/microphones in our homes or location trackers on us. But we just went ahead and did it ourselves because – to hell with it! – I want to watch cute dog videos.

We knew this, right? But it’s weird that it took a government-related impetus to bring privacy concerns in social media back into the light. It feels different this time.

When a person’s camera is a pen, you see the world differently. My new book of illustrations is titled, “All My Photographs Are Wade With Pens.” Available on Amazon or any other book seller.

Birds migrate to areas more hospitable, but where do they go? It depends on the bird. It depends on the time of year. It depends on other various factors. Drawing from several data sources, National Geographic maps how birds migrate thousands of miles. View it on your desktop of maximum animated pleasure.

پاسور اصیل ایرانی - Persian Playing Cards

Minimalism is slowly making its way across to the automotive industry one bike and car at a time. And the Kalk Electric Dirt Bike is no exception. It’s quite simply delicious. Designed for light off-roading, this eco-friendly bike is somewhat of an art project if you happen to catch it from the side. The bike’s overall minimalism may be what makes it so desirable. The pastel grey/blue body frame is a minimalistic masterpiece which is used to shield the 15 kW mid motor, powered by a 51.8 Volt, 50Ah battery for torque and range – conducted by specifically developed and tuned software, for the controller and dynamic performance.

The light and snappy ride, with its focus on off-road and trail riding in the outback, means that its main character is about torque and acceleration while providing a quiet gliding and surf experience. Thanks to its digital presetting it ́ll let anyone fly at their own level. Available for preorder soon, the limited pre-batch has a number of unique features, where a majority of its alloy parts are CNC machined, together with the plastic parts being made of carbon fiber and then painted.
