You needn’t subscribe to the crystal goblet theory of typography to get glassy-eyed over this week’s featured job listing: digital designer for the Corning Museum of Glass. Established in 1950 by Corning Glass Works (now Corning, Inc.), the non-profit institution—nestled in New York’s Finger Lakes region—aims to preserve and expand the world’s understanding of glass with the help of more than 45,000 objects representing 3,500 years of glass history. The museum is seeking a non-fragile type to serve as its digital designer, with responsibilities ranging from creating digital graphics and front-end programming to ensuring the user-friendliness of its various digital platforms. Bring your “strong design sense,” “excellent organizational skills,” and a taste for transparency. This bunch of glassworking videos will help you avoid blowing the interview.

One of the premier producers of sidecar motorcycles, Ural‘s designs, created to handle any type of terrain, date back to World War II. Established in 1939, the Russian brand’s origins are muddled with stories of smuggling BMWs from Germany through Switzerland for reverse engineering. But the slightly tamer tale—Stalin bought the blueprint directly from Hitler or the BMW factory thanks to a friendly wartime pact—might be more likely.

The latest model, the Patrol T, is as utility-oriented and durable as Ural’s other models, but this updated version works for a variety of riders. The world’s only on-demand two-wheel-drive sidecar drive shaft provides increased security for inclement conditions (allowing the sidecar driver to control the wheel and perform like a street-legal ATV), and the ample trunk space offers more room for extended journeys.

The now Seattle-based company still manufactures their motorcycles in Russia, test-driving them through the icy Siberian wilderness. While the sidecar style doesn’t offer the flexibility of a café racer or sport bike, the Patrol T has an opposed twin engine that provides major momentum and smooth acceleration for thrill-seekers, and—combined with its fully functional all-terrain capability—off-road adventures abound.

Available in “olive drab” as a reminder of its military roots, the Patrol T sells from dealers around the world for about $12,400.

For the ultimate World Cup party accessory, this ice-maker adds novelty to drinks and—thanks to its slower-melting spherical shape—won’t water them down. Using an aluminum mold (much like Macallan’s sphere machine), the device uses heat (just run it under warm water) and pressure to create professional-looking soccer balls in minutes.

Available in 65mm ($1,948) and 30mm ($207) sizes, get yours from
Japan Trend Shop.
