Spineless – Susan Middleton Brings Us Pure Magic
For a portrait photographer, Susan Middleton has an unusual studio. It’s mobile, for one thing, and it requires the subject to be confined in a small glass box. But the results are gorgeous.
In her new book, Spineless: Portraits of Marine Invertebrates, The Backbone of Life, Middleton gives jellyfish, nudibranchs, and anemones (among many others) the type of photographic treatment usually reserved for sports stars and heads of state. Shot against plain black or white backgrounds, the weird beauty of these creatures—many of them rare species seldom seen by human eyes—really stands out.
Armchair Gio Ponti – D.270.2 – A Classic Reissued by Molenti & C
And here is the new wide chair with a narrow and foldable seat”. So wrote Gio Ponti in 1970 when describing the launch of a chair that differed from all the others. A chair for conversation, reading a book or watching TV. Minimal overall dimensions, versatile, movable. Light but solid, easy, comfortable and affordable. A chair for everyone, for every occasion, for indoor and outdoor use, for a house that adapts to our needs.
“To sit comfortably, crossing your legs, you need a small seat and lots of backrest, reclining like this”, said Gio Ponti. This is a classic and now it is available again fabricated by our italian friends at Molenti & C
How Smart Is Your Favorite Music – How Smart Are You?
OK. This is a study by a guy from Cal Tech – pitting the SAT scores of some college kids against their taste in music. The result. We know what music very intelligent people listen to. There are some surprises. Rather stupid people listen to Jazz, Beyonce, Lil Wayn, Gospel or Soca. Smart People like Beethoven, Counting Crows, Ben Folds, Sufjan Stevens, Radiohead and (a little surprising) U2. On thing TrendEngel can not really understand: Why isn’t Nickelback in the middle instead of dead last? Why?

TrendEngel praised Between Two Ferns, the hilarious show by actor/comedian Zach Galifianakis a long time ago. But this is probably his best effort yet. Brad Pit is interviewed and has to sit through some harsh questions. You gotta watch this. You gotta (sorry about the picture quality but they wouldn’t allow us to post the HD quality clip):
