We Quit Our Jobs And Took A Moto Adventure From The Netherlands To Mongolia

These are pictures from our journey with two motorbikes to Mongolia.

We are Pieter and Mandy and in early 2014 we quit our jobs and left our home in the Netherlands for a life of adventures and new opportunities. We bought two motorcycles and went on a road trip to Mongolia. We crossed 16 countries in three months. This road trip would mark the beginning of a new life: the life abroad that we had been dreaming of for a long time.

This wasn’t a one-time project or a simple holiday. It’s about taking on new challenges and experiencing new adventures, while capturing those experiences through the lens and showing them to the world. Our goal is to take traveling to the next level. Currently we stay in Nepal and planning our trip to India!

Meet Luccie: My Yawning And Stalking Cat

Meet Luccie – my girlfriend’s cat that is a very expressive feline.

He is a bit strange. His nickname is “The Stalker” because that is what he does all day when I am at home.

And when Luccie awakes, he always yawns in the weirdest positions.

Vibrate Jelly Laundry Cleans Your Clothes from Dirt and Dust Without Detergent or Water

Vibrate Jelly Laundry is a unique vision for our future home appliance, it’s a conceptual washer that takes advantage of the adhesiveness of jelly and vibration to clean your dirty clothes. Designed by Jee Na Jun, a Korean industrial designer, this concept appliance doesn’t require detergent or water, thus drying process is not required since you can wear those clothes right after laundry. The inspiration for this unique concept is based on jelly cleaner when the designer saw the method of removing dirt from keyboard by wiping it with jelly. It means there’s a possibility that this material can also be applied to washer.

The adhesive property of jelly can clean your clothes using vibration while at the same time smoothing wrinkles with sound waves. Any dust or dirt particles are gathered in a dust container that can be emptied later. In theory, you can clean anything that you want to wash, from hat, silk, or shoes, all those items which are usually hard to wash using your washing machine.

Designer : Jee Na Jun

How it works?

As explained by the designer, you can simply put and spread clothes inside the machine. As the washing process starts, any dust or dirt will attach to the jelly. The sound wave helps to smooth out any wrinkles. When the washing process is over, you can simply take out and wear the clothes. All process would only take for about 5 minutes.

One thing that came across my mind when I first saw this concept, if it’s only clean dirt/dust, what about smelly gym clothes? I’m not sure if this concept washer can help out with the stains or nasty smell.

Bigger Picture: Famous Album Covers Extended To Reveal Background Action

Digital music distribution is making music less expensive and more widely available, but it is also slowly killing the album cover as an art form. To pay homage to this vanishing art form, Aptitude, a web design company, created a fun series of images that imagine what the covers of some of our favorite albums might have looked like if they were expanded a bit.

“Album cover art used to be meticulously created to portray some kind of message that the band or artist was trying to convey,” explain Aptitude. “But in this digital age, buying an album has become less about buying a physical package to buying a digital version out of convenience.”
