Fantastic photography by Michael Eastman, especially in his "Vanishing America" series - this one caught my eye in particular.
arcade fire - interactive video
Arcade Fire has released an interactive video to accompany the track We Used To Wait. The video was created by director Chris Milk, in association with Google Chrome (though it worked just fine when I tried it with Firefox yesterday).
Just enter your childhood address, click search and watch the clever use of pop-ups combine with your information to personalise the video.

usb necklaces
Urban Butik's "My Life" collection is a range of USB jewellery, designed by Helena Rohner and created in ceramics. The idea is described as an interpretation of locket necklaces, though instead of physical photos you would be carrying around lots of photos of family and friends. I'm particularly keen on the one that looks a little like a shiny black mushroom...

vintage cameras
I love vintage cameras, so these gorgeous prints by Jeremy Slagle are right up my street - they are based on cameras found at garage sales and flea markets in Ohio. The four prints can be purchased for $39 here.
trafalgar square fourth plinth
The six shortlisted proposals for London's fourth plinth commission are currently on public display as models in St-Martin-in-the-Fields church. There is a gallery showing the designs on The Guardian website.
My favourite is this giant Battenberg cake, proposed by Brian Griffiths. It is made from glazed and unglazed Victorian, Edwardian and contemporary bricks from around the UK.
red apple tree
This red apple tree moneybox by Hus and Hem was originally made back in the 1970s and is still going strong today!

off at a tangent
Great quote, perfectly realised in graphic form by Christopher Goodwin.

timeless watch
Talk about a timeless timepiece - this watch by ROGAN is quite literally timeless.
I guess it's not the most useful accessory in the world but it looks great nevertheless. Each one is made from old watch parts and is therefore unique.
You can buy one for $110 here.
alex everitt
I can't believe I haven't posted about his work before now but here is a painting called "Absence" by the talented artist Alex Everitt.
Visit his recently updated site here and shop here to see more beautiful work, including a couple of portraits of yours truly...as Alex is also my amazing husband!
