Lotus release the Evora hybrid, making their work on the Tesla look like a prototype.
Range extending, audio and gearbox simulation for safer driving. Pretty amazing stuff.
Tokyomango’s friend Adam, a photographer, took this picture of a restaurant in Niseko, in Hokkaido:
It was away from the main road in the town so it was never very busy, but it stood out like a beacon in the darkness of the night. The food was mediocre. Still looked cool.

Steve Jobs’ latest creation
Taking Control from Alberta Cross’s debut LP Broken Side of Time.
If you don’t have them yet, and you like your music sounding like The Verve’s ‘come down from the mountain after a season of logging and hunting deer’ then this band may be what you are after.
The Solaryman project: jumping salarymen
I started to have more respect to my father since he has passed away, who has had a whole life as a salary-man.
I, who have never lived as a salary-man, develop a thrill and hope in myself when I see salary-man find a moment to transform into a superhero, who normally dedicate all the time to working for company.
It’s possible to let them show us their individuality through a jump from ordinary life, and this is the very moment when I intend to take their photographs, thinking about an ideal figure of my own father.
Still wrestling with whether or not Win7 House Party is a deliberate viral or not… it must be surely?!

Marcel Duchamp, ‘Étant donnés’ 1966 (via Dangerous Minds)
Wiki: “Duchamp worked secretly on the piece from 1946 to 1966 in his Greenwich Village studio while even his closest friends thought he had abandoned art. His wife, Alexina (Teeny), was his sole confidante during most of its construction.
It is made of an old wooden door, bricks, velvet, twigs, a female form made of leather, glass, linoleum, and an electric motor. Duchamp prepared a “Manual of Instructions” in a 4-ring binder explaining and illustrating how to assemble and disassemble the piece.”
I love when art has a manual
