Ever wondered how exactly you've changed? Jonathan Keller Keller did. Armed with a new-fangled digital camera in 2008, he set out to take a picture of himself everyday.

About 4000 pictures later, Keller has practically created an online archive of his face as it changed everyday since 1998 (except a few days that he spent in Antartica without his camera).

You can see him change froma fresh faced student with glasses and unruly hair and see him switch to contacts and change hairstyles.

He is now a professional artist who goes by JK Keller and has vowed to take pictures everyday in a work that remains incomplete till the end of his life

Inspiring examples of green business cards

Printing business cards nowadays is cheap with the availability of online printing companies. All you need is an internet connection, a desktop publishing program, and a trusted printing company on the web. In a matter of a couple of days, you can have quality business cards in your hand.

You can go the traditional route with your business cards, but have you ever thought of green business cards? With a lot of individuals and companies joining the green campaign, it is becoming almost a fad to hand out your information in “green cards” of nearly any form.

Naturally, a great way to find inspiration for green business card options is by searching the web. In my own search for ideas, I succeeded in finding a few amazing examples of business cards that really took green business card design seriously.

Another Bloomin’ Designer

Now this is one design that really stands out, so I think it’s just right that it goes on top of my list. The concept was very simple. The designer needed to create business cards that people would want to “keep on their table and not on their pockets.” True enough, nearly anyone who receives this business card cannot resist keeping the card on the table, window sill, or desk to can watch the greens grow, straight out of the card!

Moo Eco Friendly Business Cards

These business cards are printed on 100% recycled paper and the card box (where you store your card and others too!) is also made from 100% recyclable pulp. Now you don’t have to worry about your cards getting creases and wrinkled when you put them in your bag and all the while you are doing our planet a favor.

Green Cards for Second-Hand Shops

This is a good suggestion for consignment shops. If you’re selling second-hand items, why not hand out second-hand cards as well? Blacken the name in front of other people’s cards and scribble your own at the back.

Landscape Business Card

The concept for this particular card is brilliant! It features a landscape plan, which in a week’s time will sprout green in the exact location the plants should be in the plan.

Leaf Business Cards: Tatil Design

Go green all the way with these real leaf business cards. Your logo and information are laser etched into the leaf with no ink required. Throw them out and you don’t have to worry about harming the environment—they’re leaves!

DIY Cereal Business Cards

This one project is exceedingly unique because these business cards are made the DIY way. The entire process is simple: just cut out your cereal boxes, lay out your business card design in your design program, pop the cut cereal boxes into your printer, and voila! You now have business cards made from your own cereal boxes. A business card like this could really turn heads; however, because of the time-consuming process you would only want to do this if you only need a handful of cards.

Cardboard Business Card

Reuse old packaging boxes to create your own one-of-a-kind business card. Although you would not want to do this for more than just a few cards at a time, it is a great way to create special business cards for your important prospects, and it is eco-friendly! This business card for Fiverr came from a MacBook Pro box. Rather than printing the text on such bulky material, Kaufman stamped them on, which really fit into the packaged look well.

Sustainable Cards for a Sustainable Company

Sometimes the most economical business card is one that uses sustainable materials, such as this one designed for a sustainable furniture business. Notice that the design uses only one color of ink: black. Beside the large logo, there are no big graphics. The text is also short and sweet to limit the amount of ink used.

Beyonce announces pregnancy


Sasha Fierce is going to be a mummy! Beyonce single handedly stole the show at the VMAs and she didn't have to interrupt anyone's award speech to do it.

Telling photographers she had a surprise for them, the "Best thing I never had" singer rubbed her very visible baby bump.
If that wasn't enough, performing during the ceremony the R&B singer told the audience: "I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me." and then finished the song by removing her sequinned tuxedo jacket to rub her belly. In the audience, her very pleased husband Jay-Z was hugged by his overjoyed friend Kanye West.The very public announcement managed to overshadow even Lady Gaga's attention grabbing, cross dressing alter-ego and a multiple award winning and equally eye-catching Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj.
Although the couple has had babies on the brain for a while,, this is the first time the famously private couple are revealing anything. "I always said I would have a baby at 30," Beyonce said on a June 27 appearance on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight. She turns 30 on September 4th.
With Beyonce and Jay-Z for parents, this baby is definitely a Destiny's Child!

Real or Fake?

The invention of photoshop has turned us all into cynics. We have lost the sense of wonder we have in the world . But maybe these pictures will change your mind. Yes, they are a 100% real!


No that "down" isn't floating in mid-air but is the work of this artist.


Located near Paris Town Hall, this is an art istallation by Francois Abelanet



What exactly do you do with the curtain when you're finished with it? Roll it up? Wrap it around your arm?

People really don't like getting wet



That just crawled out of your nightmares and into real life.

The writing on the wall

There is nothing more pleasant than a comfortable place to call your own (except maybe a nice new pair of socks). A place where you can relax and let go, a room to meditate and be creative. The way a person decorates the house says a lot about them.

Creative room decorations trigger creative ideas. Just some special colors that you see in your room can make feel comfortable or get your imagination go wild. Another thing to consider are wall stickers. These are also pretty fun and can really change the aspect of a room. Whether it’s an abstract design, typography, cartoons or images inspired by nature – all of them are pretty cool.
