There are always moments when one feels empty and estranged. Such moments are most desirable for it means the soul has cast its moorings and is sailing for distant places. This is detachment - when the old is over and the new has not yet come. If you are afraid, the state may be distressing; but there is really nothing to be afraid of. Remember the instruction: whatever you come across - go beyond.

The Joy of Books
Many sleepless nights were spent moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto to create this video.

Everybody just calm down. Tracker here’s got your back. Or Scout or Ranger or whatever he’s called. When a dog is born paying attention like this, your list of options for a good name narrows down considerably.

Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.
This is close but I’m still looking for the one where the books were nested under the step risers and shelves were the banisters. Still, awesome tumblr!

Just when I thought the world could not show more imagination and brilliance….
French designer Elsa Lambinet present a new way of eating chocolate called Sweet Play. By using a mix & match attitude she created a modular chocolates shell can be white, milk or dark chocolate with a slot in the front for wafers, nougat, biscuit or caramel, and a depression in the top to hold nuts, fruit or liquid.
Lambinet describes her project as follows:
“Adaptations allows for intuitive combinations, yet allows for freedom and range of choice to the participant.A modular design allows for three types of chocolate that can support two added ingredients: black chocolate has a hole to contain fruit, milk chocolate has spaces for nuts, and white chocolate is surfaced to hold liquids, and all three contain a hollowed compartment for inserted flavored wafers, perhaps nougat, biscuit or caramel.
Participants get to mix and match ingredients for hours and hours as they gorge themselves on custom confectionery goodness.”
