With Arnold, Tiger and two timing IMF guy in mind, we have created this wedding ring for people intent on cheating. The negative engraving on the inside means that when you are in the ‘Club’ and an attractive woman…or man comes along to chat, slipping your wedding ring off is not an option. The mark left on your skin says…’I’m Married’
In a time when communication is all around us, we felt it was necessary to give a voice to the people who needed it most. Between Jan. 2009 and Jan. 2010 the total number of unsheltered individuals within New York City rose an estimated 34%.

Ofcom publishes complaints data, including pay TV
Ofcom today published its latest complaints data, covering telecoms providers and, for the first time, pay TV services.
The fifth quarterly report shows which providers have generated the most complaints to Ofcom1. The research aims to provide useful information for consumers and also to incentivise operators to improve their performance.
Since the report was first published in April 2011, it has included telecoms companies providing broadband, landline and mobile telephone services. This report, covering the first quarter of 2012, is the first to include complaints relating to the provision of pay TV services.
The data covers telecoms and pay TV providers with a market share greater than 4 per cent2. For pay TV, this accounts for three companies: Sky, Virgin Media and BT Vision.
The telecoms data now covers 18 months, allowing consumers to check providers’ performance over a sustained period of time.
Overall, complaint levels are much lower for pay TV and mobile telephony than for landline telephony and broadband services.
Starry Night - Vincent van Dominogh
I recreated Vincent van Gogh's "Starry Night" from just over 7,000 dominos. The second attempt took about 11 hours total to build.
The first attempt failed, when I dropped a screw from the camera rig onto it. I was able to improve the swirling clouds better in the second attempt as a result though. I do not know how long the first attempt took, but I did not have any accidents building like I did in the second attempt!
There were 2 small breaks in the fall of this project. I did not complete the leading grey line and left out a domino which stopped the reaction in the bottom. The star that is left standing was very close to falling, but the first dominos held in place
Have you seen my Domona Lisa I made in 2007?
