Stumble, stumble. stumble

This is really cool. You could get a whole bunch of different bottles and different colored lights.

DIY: Wine Bottle Light

November 3rd, 2009

This past spring Daniel and I went on a road trip from San Francisco to the Grand Canyon. Along the way we stopped at Chateau Julien for a wine tasting. I wanted to do something with the empty bottle instead of throwing it in the recycling bin. So here it is!
You’ll need:

an empty wine bottle
a drill
safety glasses and gloves (just in case the bottle breaks)
1/2″ glass drill bit
masking tape
short strand of Christmas lights (with a plug only on one end)

How to:
1. Rinse out your wine bottle and remove the labels (if desired).
2. Place a piece of masking tape on the bottle where you want to drill the hole for the cord. The tape keeps the drill bit from slipping.
3. Put on your gloves and goggles and start drilling. Don’t apply too much pressure or you could break the glass. The drilling takes a long time. I spent about 30 minutes drilling the hole. Be patient!

4. Once your hole is drilled rinse the glass shavings out of your bottle, and let the bottle dry.
5. Carefully feed the strand of Christmas lights into the hole you drilled.
6. TaaDaa!

Enviormental Lettering

More stumbling but this is really cool. Axel Peemoeller did this work for the Eureka Carpark. Everything can be read perfectly when standing in the right spot.

I have been stumbling again

Creative bus stop advertisements

A great way to gain exposure for your product or service is to advertise at bus stops. People have to wait until the bus arrives and do not have too much to do besides waiting. But also drivers and pedestrians get attracted by bus stop advertisements.

This month I have selected the most creative bus stop advertisements that make you look twice! View all bus stop advertisements after the jump.

Megan's Brain Test

I took Megan's Quiz and go figure mine would basically even.

Thank you for taking the Creativity Test. The results show your brain dominance as being: Left Brain Right Brain 49% 51% You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist. Your complete evaluation follows below:
Your left brain/right brain percentage was calculated by combining the individual scores of each half's sub-categories. They are as follows: Your Left Brain Percentages   54% Reality-based (Your most dominant characteristic)   42% Symbolic   34% Verbal   22% Linear   18% Sequential   17% Logical (Your least dominant characteristic) Your Right Brain Percentages   36% Fantasy-oriented (Your most dominant characteristic)   34% Intuitive   32% Nonverbal   28% Random   28% Concrete   12% Holistic (Your least dominant characteristic)
