Before Disney/Pixar’s Cars came along, there was this Disney short about Susie the little blue coupe. The story follows Susie as she goes from brand new car, to worn out junkyard scrap, to reconditioned sports car. [via]
Our Blue Sun
November 4, 2009 @ 7:10 pm
Today’s Astronomy Picture of the Day is a wonderful photo of a blue Sun (our Sun). The photo is converted blue to highlight the rapidly moving gases that end up looking like bristles on a carpet.
The description on the photo is particularly interesting, mainly this part:
Our Sun glows because it is hot, but it is not on fire. Fire is the rapid acquisition of oxygen, and there is very little oxygen on the Sun. The energy source of our Sun is the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium deep within its core. No sunspots or large active regions were visible on the Sun this day, although some solar prominences are visible around the edges.
I have always thought of the Sun as an object that was on fire, but now it actually makes sense to read that the sun is almost never on fire. It’s just very hot.

Totally in love with that grey and blue colorway for the Converse Blackflag Collection CVO sneaker. The sneakers will appear at select Stussy stores beginning October 24th. Nice. [via]

The photo above taken by Jason Lee of The National Grand Theater in China is fabulous. It’s as good as Connie Zhou’s famous photograph of the same building.

Milwaukee Bruiser bike that reflects and glows
August 20, 2009 @ 4:21 am
Prolly posted some photos of people’s Milwaukee Bruiser bicycles and the one shown here with an entire frame that reflects and glows under the right lighting conditions makes me want to do the exact same thing to my future bike frame (I wouldn’t do this on my current frame).
I just wish Beacon Graphics made reflective vinyl tape that was blue like this.
Deal of the Day!
