Jim is just trying to make some cool pancakes for his daughter Allie, but he’s gotten so good at it that his pancakes can truly be considered edible masterpieces.
If you’re familiar with sites like Neatorama or Laughing Squid, you probably already know all about Jim and his fabulous looking pancakes, but to those of you who don’t know about him yet, all I can say is prepare to meet the sweetest dad, ever!
Inspired by his father, who used to make him all kinds of crazy looking pancakes shaped like the moon, or a light bulb, Jim decided to do the same for his adorable daughter, Allie. Along the way, he became such an expert on making cool pancakes that he opened his own blog, where he documents all his creations. While it started out as a way of entertaining a toddler, it was just a matter of time before Jim’s Pancakes got the recognition it deserved. Some of the web’s most popular sites have covered his art of pancake making, and someone better throw a book deal at him soon, because the man makes the most incredible pancakes I’ve ever seen.
Below you’ll find a selection of Jim’s most impressive pancakes, but you can just head over to his blog for his entire collection and some nice video tutorials. Oh, and scroll down to the bottom to see his little blond angel, Allie.

The Architectural Experiments of Terunobu Fujimori

Posted by Desain M.and.Art at 10.12
0 comments
Some of his works may not even look like real houses, but Terunobu Fujimori is one of the world’s most acclaimed architectural designers. His unconventional works have been displayed all around the world, and, believe it or not, people actually want to live in his houses.
A historian by trade, Terunobu Fujimori started designing buildings late in his life, when he was 44. He was asked to design a history museum for a family from his local village, near Nagano, who had ancient ties to that place. He decided to build something completely uncobventional, in order to avoid being criticized for lack of originality, and his creation was a success.
Since then, Terunobu Fujimori has been delivering one fascinating house after another, at a rate of a house per year. Using his knowledge of Japanese architectural history and his designer talents, Terunobu Fujimori manages to create unique buildings that are ecologically sensitive and energy efficient.
The way Terunobu Fujimori designs and builds his houses is as unconventional as they look. He simply takes a tree stump and starts hacking away at it with a chainsaw, until he gets a rough model of what he plans to build. Then he invites his clients to his Too-High Tea House, standing 20 meters into the air, on two forked tree trunks, and shows them his designs. If they don’t like them, he simply shakes the house until he gets a positive answer. Galleries have offered to buy his tree stump models, but he always refused to sell them.
Although he relies on professionals for the structural and electrical installations on his houses, he handles most of the interior design, with a team of friends. He never pays them for their work, as that would be labor.

Ghosts of a Dream – Recycled Lottery Ticket Art

Posted by Desain M.and.Art at 09.33

Lottery tickets don’t mean much after you’ve scratched away the glittering layer only to see your hopes go up in smoke, but that doesn’t mean the little paper slips can’t serve a brand new purpose.
Ghosts of a Dream is an artistic duo made of Adam Ecksrom and Lauren Was, two talented graduates of the Rhode Island School of Design. They take the used lottery tickets and recreate what people usually dream of winning when they buy them. You could say the tickets go from dreams to complete garbage and finally turn into something (sort of) real.
Everything Ghosts of Dreams creates is made of various salvaged objects and thousands of discarded lottery tickets.  Among their most impressive projets are the Dream Home, a make-belief home made from $70,000 worth of lottery tickets, the Dream Car, a Hummer mockup made with $39,000 worth of lottery tickets, or the Dream Vacation created with $29,000 worth of tickets.

Top 5 Unique Vehicles of the World

Posted by Desain M.and.Art at 09.31
0 comments
To design a vehicle is not an easy task rather it is a science as well as an art. All of the disciplines like engineering, physics, chemistry, metallurgy, computer science etc are compulsory to make a perfect machine. In the past few years, however, vehicle manufacturers have put forward some unique ideas. They are ranked as “Strange-O-Meter”. In this article we have listed 5 most strange vehicles of the world. These strange vehicles are of so numerous categories that it is very difficult to categorize them in top 5 as all of them are unique in some aspect. Thus, this classification is made on the basis of three simple rules:
1.Only those who were made within almost the last decade are considered.
2.Those who actually worked properly are included.
3.The vehicle must have at least one aspect that makes it publically impractical.
By these creations, the manufacturers elaborate the general extent of imagining the possibilities especially in the field of vehicles. They give you a hope to get more efficient and adventurous rides which will give you more fun. Let’s have a look.
1: Dodge Tomahawk
The Dodge Tomahawk motorcycle is included in the list as it doesn’t even have a drop of practicality in it, even with the Viper V-10 engine is of 500-horsepower that gives you a speed of almost 400 miles per hour. It was revealed in North American International Auto Show in Detroit. If the huge semi-tractor type structure with stubby handlebars is ignored by you as compared to the top speed of it then you can have your own only in $500,000. But remember that they are not street legal yet. Many of them are sold in North at the same price. See if you dare to ride.

2: WaterCar Python
The WaterCar, with its Chevy Carnaro-esque body is a unique wonder. The WaterCar turns its car mode into the boat mode as it lefts the launch. Titled as the “World’s Fastest Amphibious Vehicle”, it has a unique truck body of fiberglass with buoyancy of a boat. With the LS1 Corvette engine it can run up to 60 miles per hour in water and more than 125 miles per hour on land. The two-in-one wonder will cost you just $200,000 if you want to have your own.
amazing and unique cars
3: Catmobiles
If at some time in your past you had a concept that there are just batmobiles with their awful appearance then you are now going to change it. We can give you a list of number of catmobiles that are unique and amazing. The vehicles are more of a haul for the public than a transportation service but are one of their kinds. Only a few of them are allowed to go to the Burning Man as they create a catastrophic effect in general. Not to dangerous to cause an accident, these slow vehicles are not very popular but their strangeness make them a member of our list.

4: The Cupcake Car
The yummy looking cupcake car has a little history to be known. Designed by Lisa Pongrace it was originally meant to be a rolling art installation in the bohemian-themed annual event of Burning Man in Black Rock Desert. It may be an irresistible attraction for those with a sweet tooth and who want to be different but they should know that the sweetie has only a 24-volt electric-motor that propels around just 7 miles per hour at max. If that doesn’t bother you, you can have your own in just $25,000 with any exterior icing style of your choice.
strange cars of the world
5: Terrafugia Transition
The so called “roadable aircraft” has a history behind its creation. As we all know the problems being faced by those who have to travel through the airplanes. Checked luggage fee and reaching airport are two main problems. If you don’t have a conveyance of your own you are dependent on a friend or relative to drop you to airport otherwise you have to get help from public transit; an additional expense of fare and parking fee.Terrafugia is a Boston based aircraft company. They decided to solve this general problem so they designed and created the Terrafugia Transition.The Terrafugia Transition works as a dual vehicle. It collects the passengers as a street automobile and then at the time of take off the fold-down stubby pair of wings is activated. The craft has a rear mounted pusher propeller that launches it. It runs on the runways and then launches in the sky. It is a good effort to solve the general transportation problems.
