While a cloud floating overhead is traditionally heralded as a bad omen, the 2057 "Happy Clouds" released over London were simply meant to "cheer people up a bit."

Sleeping on a train, plane or car would be a hell of a lot more comfortable if your jacket had a hood that could inflate and function as a pillow.

Indian matchbox art

sauce: Boing Boing: Indian matchbox art





Matt Lee's gallery of matchboxes from the subcontinent highlights the lovely art that adorns these little bits of ephemera: "The random and disparate juxtapositions of the imagery encapsulate the mix of historic, mythological and contemporary visual culture in India."

Sometimes it's not enough to be a somewhat indifferent fan of an 80s arcade phenomenon. Sometimes you need to share your blasé passion with others by making them ingest it.

Once upon a time, back when people in Russia used big moustaches and sent other people to Siberia, there were no GPS or tacky cellphones. But they had atomic lighthouses to light the Artic shores.

The best LEGO creations on Flickr — all in one place

sauce: The Brothers Brick: The best LEGO creations on Flickr — all in one place

Simply put, we didn’t blog everything that deserved to be blogged in 2008. In some cases, time just got away from us before we gave a major event like Brick Fan Town the full write-up it deserved (though the Visual Tour is still well worth a look). In other cases, we just missed an amazing LEGO creation completely.





“Reflection” by birdboykristian.



As I tried to write a post about the “Best LEGO creations of 2008 we really should’ve blogged,” I got invited to the LEGO - Top rating images group on Flickr.





“Super Electric Robot Team” by Peter Reid.



The group pulls together the three most-favorited photo from each member, ranging from amazing photos with hundreds of faves to hidden gems with just a few. An interesting way to view this group pool is to sort all of the photos by, well, “interestingness.”





“The War Wagon” by Fedde.



A site called Flickriver lets you flip through sets of photos by recency, randomly, or by how “interesting” they are. Scrolling down the Flickriver page for “LEGO - Top rating images” is like looking through a Greatest Hits selection from the last few years. I’m proud to say we’ve featured nearly all of the top photos from that group, but I loved seeing new things alongside all my old favorites.





Meatspace “Grillbot” by Ryan Wod.



So, take some time and check out the LEGO - Top rating images group. You just might find a few new favorites yourself.

Gulnur Ozdaglar's PET Jellies

sauce: Boing Boing: Gulnur Ozdaglar's PET Jellies

I've always really liked jellyfish. I can spend hours zoning out at the jelly exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. And I'm almost as enthralled with these jelly sculptures made out of plastic bottles by Gulnur Ozdaglar, which I discovered on Design Sponge. Ozdaglar makes all kinds of wonderful things out of PET bottles.
