I’m a big fan of Yanko Design. The site is filled with creative, beatiful and practical pieces of art. Designs can be  submitted by visitors of the site, and I believe there are resident designers as well…

Anyhow, today I came across their article What the Pho… I love pho! It’s one of those dishes I can eat just about every day. It’s a traditional Vietnamese dish with white rice noodles, beef or chicken soup, and a plethera of tasty meat, served along side with basil, scallions, and bean sprouts.

I’m digressing again… well, Omid Sadri created this ingenius bowl set for pho. The large bowl at the bottom is for the pho, the middle bowl is for the herbs and bean sprouts and the very top most part for lime… I personally would put the limes with the herbs and use it as a dipping sauce bowl…. but either way… It’s amazingly functional and space saving! (My favorite things about anything I’m about to purchase).  It even includes a space for chop sticks and your soup spoon! Wow!

I don’t believe this set is available for purchase yet, but you can contact sadri.omid@gmail.com for more details!

Darn those Japanese and their cuteness overload!! I generally do not like salads, but it’s hard not to like one with star and heart shaped vegetables.

Why don’t they make stuff like this out here?

People always say knowledge is power… but this one artist makes knowledge aesthetically beautiful too! About damn time! You have to click the image to see it in its full glory.

I stumbled across informationisbeautiful.net and was absolutely delighted with my 2 favorite things… great vector/graphic design and informational graphs (yes, I am a nerd).

Love it!

I was catching up on my feeds on my Google reader, when I came across these amazing photos of Zombies from daily does of imagery. Sam Javanrouh, an Iranian-Canadian photographer, has some of the most amazing photos I’ve ever seen. I definitely encourage all of you to subscribe to his photoblog and purchase his prints.

Anyhow, why haven’t I ever heard of this before? Toronto Zombie Walk sounds like so much fun, but of course we don’t have anything like that in California that’s FREE. ::hmph:: I want to dress up and pretend to be a Zombie for a day, is that too much to ask? If any of you guys want to go next year, let’s start planning now! I’ll take a 2 week vaca, and I’m sure I have relatives up there that we can stay with. Let me know!
