Good Friday - Lamp

Art Deco Desk Lamp



This lamp beautifully melds bronze and glass into a beautiful curved form. Reminiscent of the art deco style, this lamp has always been a favorite of mine.

Top of the Top Tuesday - Dead Space

Dead Space

This horror, science fiction, survival games takes place on a floating ship that has been taken over by zombie like aliens where out protagonist must fight for his life. The protagonists armor along with the ship itself has a very industrial and realistic look to it while the aliens are grotesque and disgusting, leading to a very odd juxtaposition.

Good Friday - Xbox 360 Slim Console

Xbox 360 Slim Console



Sleek, simple, and different, this console is interesting to look at. While most video games consoles are square to begin with, this one contains many convex bends and corners which gives it a very sexy yet aggressive look. The glossy black color scheme gives it a mirror like finish which gives it a very modern look.

Top of the Top Tuesday - TRON Legacy

TRON Legacy

This film takes place inside of a computer which allows for the film to use really stylistic visuals. Using sleek shapes and a high contrast color tones, it creates a visual feast for the viewer.

Top of the Top Tuesday - Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2

This video game takes place on a huge wasteland of a planet home to many dangerous alien species, where you must use the nearly endless supply of guns to fend them off and find treasure. The game uses a cartoon like, cell shaded style which gives it the look of a more mature comic book or cartoon.

Moronic Mondays - Phone Charging Ports

Charging Ports 



This little thing right here has brought me more pain and anger than anything else. It bends easily and will never allow you to freely charge your phone. It is made out of a flimsy material with nothing really holding the cord in place. In order to charge, it must be in the most precise of positions; even with the slightest touch, it will stop charging.

Good Friday - Drinking Glass

Drinking Glass


While this is technically just a stemless wine glass, I don't drink and just really like the shape of the glass. It has this great curvature to it that just makes drinking out of it an enjoyable experience.

Top of the Top Tuesday - District 9

District 9 

Another film where they perfectly blend the most unrealistic ideas in the most unrealistic of ways. This science fiction movie shows a realistic approach to what life would be like if an alien species was stranded on earth and forced to live in slums. The CGI blends seamlessly into the world and it's designs allow it to be there without looking ridiculous.
