NYC Papercraft show
Slash: Paper Under the Knife (warning: autoplay video) is the NYC Museum of Arts and Design’s third major exhibition, and if it’s anywhere near the quality of Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting or Pricked: Extreme Embroidery, it should be fantastic. MAKE favorite Brian Dettmer is involved, as well as many many other incredible paper artists.
Recipe: New Mexican Frijoles
Growing up in northern New Mexico has left an indelible mark on my senses, particularly my sense of taste. I love spicy food, I hate cilantro (it’s not commonly used in New Mexican cooking), and I’ll always pick pintos over black beans.

How-To: Acorn Bird Feeder

How-To: Strawberry Rhubarb Jam
This strawberry rhubarb jam tutorial by fastdmarco has seriously impeded my ability to think of other things besides strawberry rhubarb pie. I imagine this is like having the pie, but on toast in the morning!
Street View’s embedded videos
Phil Clandillon has a cool new video project featuring Google Earth mashups with panoramic images of specific locations relating to the background of the music on The Editors’ new album.
To promote UK band Editors’ new album, In This Light And On This Evening, we’ve created a hacked version of Google Street View which allows users to preview the album in the areas of London which inspired it.
Users can travel to areas of the city where we’ve hacked in our own custom locations. The new additions consist of our own custom panoramic images, shot at night by photographer James Royall. Within each location the user will hear music from the album, which was inspired by the mood and magic of London at night. Each of the nine tracks on the album has its own location.
