Front Door Design of the Day: This breathtaking marvel of modern design was custom-made for an Indian diamond merchant (natch) out of 40 individual sections of Burma teak.
Each section is carved so that the door integrates 160 pulleys, 80 ball bearings, a wire-rope and a counter weight hidden within the single pivot.
Stacked one above the other in the closed position, each plank can then rotate by a simple push causing the door to reconfigure into a sinusoidal curve.
The door was one of four Architectural Review Emerging Architecture Award winners, a prize which honors “the best pieces of design by young architects from across the world.” Well deserved to say the least.

Protective Non-Protective Surgical Mask of the Day: Artist Michel Bussien, with help from Erik Sjödin, has developed the first surgical mask designed to increase its wearer’s chances of getting sick.
Plan your sickness, develop antibodies for the flu and strengthen your immune system the natural way. The INFLU flu collector mask increases the prospect of getting the Swine flu (H1N1) as well as the regular seasonal flu with several hundred percent.
The mask uses a battery-driven micro-fan that “increases the intake of viruses in ambient air” via an inhalation valve.
Nasty.

Life-Altering Revision To An Existing Device of the Day: Damjan Stanković’s Eko Stoplight has a built-in timer that tells you exactly how long you have until the light turns green.
Yet another one of those specks of brilliance that make you go, What possible reason could there be for this to have taken so long to come into existence.

Movie Montage of the Day: If there is one thing Hollywood loves, it’s a good disaster. If there is one thing Hollywood loves even more, it’s when that disaster takes place in New York.
To prove my point, here’s a three-minute montage set to George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” of Hollywood fapping while New York burns.

Photo of the Day: Syracuse University drama major Chris Pesto fights flame with flame:
I decided that because this woman thought it was okay to make me feel uncomfortable in my home, I would retaliate and make her feel just as uncomfortable, if not more. […]
As I drew interest to what was going on with myself and the woman with the hateful sign, I started to draw a crowd that stood with me in support. Before I knew it I had 100+ people holding signs for gay rights asking people to honk their horns to support. I was interviewed by a news station, and more than 5 student organization papers, and the post standard of syracuse.
I never expected anybody to come stand by me and support and I appreciate it so much that everyone came! It meant so much and it proved to those ignorant people that we aren’t afraid, and we will put up a fight.
