This jug is a design flop! Right? Well not so fast. It seems that the designers of the milk jug created it for a specific purpose: to save money. The new jugs are stackable, saving shipping costs and space. The company saves up to 70% of labour costs using these new jugs. The milk arrives at the store fresher, sometimes even the same day. (via WalMart’s milk jug: great design or flop design? « Design Research)
A Morgan, probably a Plus 4, or a Plus 8, and a Nissan Pao Figaro (aka an old Micra in a party frock).

SCIENCE! (via heather-rivers)
I have an irrational fear of grey t-shirts, but hell yes, I want to wear this.
I was saying to the missus just that other day, I was, that I needed me a t-shirt with a robot playing guitar.

Livejamie, looks like our css woes aren’t over yet :(
Oh, I’m not that hopeless, am I? Also, I think we got out of sync with reblogs, I posted that before I saw your reply.
I was totally with you on your previous post, and I understand what it does. :) Now to try it out…
Dry July
fro:
I’m just doing it because I often go sans-hooch for anything up to 6 months just for health and self-discipline reasons.
I drink when I feel like a drink, or when it’s something tasty. I actually think it’d be more of a challenge for me to drink once a month, than to not drink for 6 months.
I enjoy the taste of a good scotch, or a good beer, or a good wine. But it’s not a challenge not to drink. Maybe I’m just un-Australian?!?
The last alcohol I had was a delightful beer with Fro, months ago. And I still have four of that six-pack in the fridge.
No, wait. I had a glass of very ordinary wine at the last weeks’ “friday afternoon drinks” at work.
2009 Mazda RX-8 GT
Urgh. It’s so over done. What’s with the side skirts and the front splitter? Yuck.
Jerome Gallix, new head of Peugeot Design, proposes a new generation of models based on great Peugeots of the past, starting with the 504 Coupe.
It’s very pretty, and nicely muscular. But I don’t see much point in retro forms.
