I love these fruit-shaped notebook or notepad that I saw on Decor8. They are supposedly from a Japanese company D-Bros, but I could not find the product on their website.

I like it so much that I’m thinking of attempting to make something like it. It would not make a very useful notepad, but it just looks so deliciously neat.

I just came across this awesome multimedia artist via Flickr’s Explore feature. iri5 paints with cassette tapes. And he makes awesome montage portraits using the artists’ works. See for yourself.

Below are portraits of Jimi Hendrix made from his cassette tapes and Dali made from Dali’s paintings.

I love this squirrel fight post on slightlywarped.com that I just stumbled across.

A mother squirrel attacks a big dog that was messing with her baby. The sequence of shots of the fight made me smile. Being a person of a mere 5′ 1″ stature, the notion of a smaller thing taking on a something ten times bigger than itself and winning makes me smile in general.
