This Is Moving, You Should Watch It of the Day: Inspired by the stirring speech delivered on the floor of the Iowa House by 19-year-old Zach Wahls, 80-year-old grandmother Jean — a third-generation Iowan — speaks out “about her gay son, his marriage and the effect the gay marriage debate is having on her and her family.”

DIY of the Day: Rorschach masks are a dime a dozen; but Rorschach masks with a morphing inkblot a la the Real Deal, well, they’re not as common.

Using Thermochromic paint pigment and clear screen printing base, you can now make an ink blot mask that changes like the character Rorschach from the movie the watchmen. As you breath in and out, the color of the mask changes from black to white wherever the wearer’s breath hits it and warms it to a point above 86 degrees F.

Apparently, once dry, these products are safe to inhale. Worst case scenario: You go insane and become a crime-fighting vigilante. Would that really be so bad?

Art Project of the Day: For his latest project, WE ARE NOT TIME TRAVELERS, graphic designer Alex Varanese imagined what it might look like if one were to grab a bunch of modern gizmos, travel back to the 1970s, and remanufacture said gizmos with the bell-bottomed consumer in mind.

I’ve learned that there is no greater design element than the anachronism. I’ve learned that the strongest contrast isn’t spatial or tonal but historical. I’ve learned that there’s retro, and then there’s time travel.

The irony is that all post-modern, smugly self-referential retro porn aside, I’d gladly trade in my immaculately designed 21st century gadgets for these hideously clunky, faux-wood-paneled pieces of über-kitsch. Sorry, Apple.

Make sure to check out the entire line of redesigned faux-tech here.

there’s nothing ironic about my love for faux-wood. or giant headphones, actually.
