The Foreign Japanese Kitchen
This cookbook is a result of Moé Takemura’s MA degree project at Lund University. The book shows how you can cook Japanese food using locally-available ingredients in Sweden.
Historically, people used to eat what they could get for surviving for a very long time. However, today, we have the luxury to choose. People look for pleasure and excitement in food as well as safety and reliability. The problem is that these two needs don’t always get along with each other because organic and locally-produced food is an important factor from safety and reliability perspective, but people enjoy multicultural diet supported by a lot of imported ingredients at the same time.
The project aimed to deal with this paradox, and aimed to introduce Japanese food culture in a suitable way in today’s Swedish environment, using as much locally available ingredients as possible.
After visiting farms and making many cooking experiments and food tastings, a cookbook was made as the final project outcome for introducing various traditional home-cooking style dishes.

Vehicle Paintings by Kevin Cyr
New York-based artist Kevin Cyr celebrates rust and graffiti in this series of paintings featuring old delivery trucks and vans.
“In a culture in which people are easily lured by the appeal of status-enhancing symbols, I find beauty in derelict cars and unkempt landscapes. I have always been interested in painting vehicles and scenes that have defined the evolution of the American landscape.
Painting and drawing these objects gives me a chance to document a time and place, and to make still a part of the ever-changing environment.”

Rare HD Apollo 11 Moon Launch Footage Remix
Forty three years ago, on July 16, 1969, and forty two years before the Space Shuttle landed for the last time, three men would travel to the moon, set foot there, take a few photos, and come back. In tribute, I made this video with music courtesy of Burning Star Core using amazing lift-off footage captured from the umbilical tower of the Saturn V launch pad by a 16mm camera that was running at a whopping — but normal-for-NASA — 500 frames per second.

Aspid GT-21 Invictus
Autoblog –
Aspid has finally gotten around to revealing the production version of the GT-21 Invictus. This funky-looking sports car delivers 450 horsepower to the rear wheels thanks to a BMW-sourced 4.4-liter V8 engine paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox or six-speed manual. That’s a far cry from the supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder found in the Spanish company’s first offering. Aspid says the GT-21 Invictus can lay waste to 60 mph from a standstill in under three seconds on its way to a top speed of 189 mph. Even better, the creation’s suspension can serve up 1.6 g on the skidpad.
The company has managed to keep weight to a mere 2,182 pounds thanks to composite body panels and a spaceframe chassis. Interestingly enough, the GT-21 Invictus is also available with a slew of on-road safety equipment, including adaptive airbags, stability control and anti-lock brakes.
Inside, there’s a 2+2 seating configuration, which suggests there’s actually room for two adults and their luggage for a weekend trip. Aspid is currently aiming to start building its newest model in 2014, but there’s no word on pricing yet.

8-Bit Butcher Diagrams
For the SCION sponsored and Giant Robot curated show “Pixel Pushers”, I decided to explore the carnivorous side of the world of video games. Though I am still a meat eater, I have a lot of vegan friends and have been exploring the ethical, environmental, and health impact of consuming an animal-based diet. That, and my long-time obsession with butcher diagrams, were the inspiration for this series.
