Street Views Patchwork (2009) by Julien Levesque 

Intelligent net-art combines four embedded Google StreetView scenes from different places together to create a coherent landscape scene.

It works like a slideshow, but each piece section is as functional as you would expect Streetview to be - try it out here

Shape Of An Angel 

Japanese 3D Printing service that can replicate the form of a mother’s developing child in utero - via DigInfo (video embedded below):

Fasotec and Hiroo Ladies clinic, have started a service that makes 3D models showing the inside of the abdomen during pregnancy. This service began on July 30.

Currently, many clinics provide photos taken during ultrasound scans. But this is the world’s first service to provide a 3D model that you can actually hold.

“We actually got three expectant mothers to try this out. They said it felt great to see how their babies looked before birth, and to be able to actually hold the inside of their own body. They also enjoyed looking at the model after giving birth, thinking, “This is how my baby looked inside me” and recalling how it felt to be pregnant.

More information and photos can be found at DigInfo here

cool and creepy always go together.

I can’t remember how I found this salon in Lisbon, Portugal, but it seems like the raddest hair-cuttery ever.

And this lady is a badass.
