DIY Mosaic Tile Doormat
Annie and her husband created this decorative mosaic tile doormat with a fun typography element, to add a little cheer to their day when they get home. She shared instructions, so you can make one too!

Penrose Tile Architecture
Architect Akio Hizune recently published these variations on an earlier work imagining a “six dimensional monument” based on Penrose tilings.
Coin floor inflation
A Seattle family exposed to the virulent penny floor meme has contracted a more expensive (and therefore probably less contagious) mutant strain that metabolizes nickels instead of pennies. I do like the different color effect this achieves, but by my math (and depending on how much space you leave between the coins) penny flooring costs between $2.50 and $3.00 per square foot, whereas nickel flooring costs four times as much ($10-$12). I did not bother to compute costs for quarter-, dime- (ouch), or Sacagawea dollar-flooring, on the assumption that no one would ever go there. But if they do, please, nobody tell me about it.
