I ran across this video from GOOD Magazine sometime last year and recently came across it again and thought it was interesting. Any thoughts on these prices?

Everything you need to run your car or truck on 100% vegetable oil. Greasecar has several kits to choose from and start around $1000.  The Greasecar conversion kit is designed for a do-it-yourself installation but if you have any questions or run into problems they offer installation or contact one of their specialists.

I ran across this cool Etsy store today. Angie Pea is located in Lexington and has some great vintage wood type and letterpress for sale. Check it out.

Raymond Teitsma has an interesting portfolio full of great paintings and drawings. ‘Mickey Man’ and ‘Repent or Perish’ (above) are among my favorites.

I ran across this TV console by Wilkerson Furniture today and had to post it. This stand houses flat-panel plasmas and LCDs while adding a cool 1950’s-style to your high-tech lifestyle. Have the best of both worlds, great picture and sound with a killer console.
