last week yotam didn’t get a post because i hardly posted anything myself. so i said, why does he get a post when i don’t? as a result, i have an abundance of good stuff from my dear friend, which i will share with you now.
there was more, but i think you got enough.
thank you, yotam!
this week yotam sent me a link to snopes, urban legends refference pages.
snopes is divided to sections like food, music, politics etc. the statements are then marked as true / false / undetermined and more… here are a few examples:
a mixture of coca cola and mentos killed two brazilian kids - false
eating celery results in negative calories- true
they also post stories purely because they appeal to the readers. they don’t vouch for the reliability of these stories. here’s a nice one:
A Texas death row inmate with a history of mental problems pulled out his only good eye and told authorities he ate it.
yotam sent me a link to nina saunders’ morphed furniture ages ago.
nina saunders takes traditional furniture pieces and morphs them beyond practicality.
i don’t know why i haven’t posted this yet. guess i waited for the right moment.
have a great week!

yotam always sends me the best items.
i like them so much, i gave him a tag.
but it seems a tag is not enough. he deserves more.
he needs a designated space.
this is why i came up with a weekly post called “yotam’s post”. (brilliant. i know)
i said weekly, but i can’t really commit to that. maybe i’ll forget to post or not feel like it. maybe yotam will be too busy to send me stuff (or really stress out by this because i haven’t told him yet).
ok. here goes. sweet meats by lauren venell:
and a mind boggling animation by paul robertson:
i continue with posting the reason i am not posting with posting the link Yotam just sent me.
Here are 30 illustrations from the book Elektroschutz in 132 Bildern.
uploaded by bre pettis, whose blog i am now going to frequent since he makes stuff and i like stuff.
i was trying to remember what sally mann’s work reminded me of and my kind reader, yotam, suggested it was jack radcliffe.
he was right.
radcliffe documented his daughter’s life from infancy to adulthood. he writes:
…Alison permitting me access to private moments of our life, which might, under different circumstances, be off-limits to a parent. The camera, early in her life, became part of our relationship…
…I wanted to photograph her in all her extremes, and to be part of these times in her life without judging or censoring…
Telemegaphones are tall loudspeaker sculptures that automatically answers incoming phone calls and projects the sound of the caller’s voice into its immediate surroundings.
Telemegaphone Dale stands seven metres tall on top of the Bergskletten mountain overlooking the idyllic Dalsfjord in Western Norway.
When you dial the Telemegaphone’s phone number the sound of your voice is projected out across the fjord, the valley and the village of Dale below.
the people behind the project are Unsworn Industries, an interaction design and innovation studio based in Malmö, Sweden
Thanks, Yotam!
