Hasta La Ideas

If you’d like to help the cause, read on:

Here’s what Mattson Creative’s going to do. They’d like to donate this art to help with flood relief in the broadest possible way. So instead of printing these themselves, or working exclusively with one organization, what thay’re going to do is give the art to anyone who wants to use it to raise money. You can create prints, stickers, t-shirts…anything and everything that you think will help.

The only thing that they would ask is that 100% of all proceeds to any of the following charities:

The Community Foundation of Middle Tennesee
Hands On Nashville
Nashville Red Cross
2nd Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee
Samaritan’s Purse

-> Read more about this and the art can be downloaded from their site

pWe’ve all heard about the A HREF=”http://gizmodo.com/5211135/man-builds-chair-that-tweets-his-farts-single+handedly-justifies-twitters-existence” chair that Tweets/A. In unrelated news, Alberta-based ID student A HREF=”http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_profile.asp?individual_id=262710″ Nolan Herbut/A has made a keyboard you can sit on. Well, sort of; it doesn’t work as a keyboard, but his Wolfgang Keyboard Bench is surfaced using 2000 keys installed with their carriages intact, meaning they depress and click when sat on. /p

pWhat do to with the rest of the keyboard(s) after the keys have been stripped off? No worries–Herbut turns those into lamps./p

Are you ready to go head to head in a landscape design smackdown? Can you can you out-tile the competition? Know someone who can keep his or her cool when a welding contest really heats up? Then consider applying to become a contestant on DIY Dominator, a series premiering July 30 on DIY Network. Each episode will pit three skilled competitors against one another in construction and home improvement competitions (in a specific trade) as they battle it out to earn the title of DIY Dominator and a $10,000 grand prize. The casting call seeks problem-solvers who are skilled and experienced in the fields of landscape design, masonry, welding, decking, or finish carpentry (a field notorious for its smack talk, or so a slightly tipsy Bob Vila once told us). Go here—scroll down to “DIY Dominator”—to download an application. Submit it no later than Tuesday, June 1 to be considered.
