A New Spin On Classic Jules Verne

By Allie Townsend | @Allie_Townsend | February 19, 2010 | +

Art student Jim Tierney of Philadelphia’s University of the Arts has created some really beautiful new skin for Jules Verne.

As part of his senior thesis, Tierney recreated covers for Verne’s From the Earth to the Moon, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in 80 Days, and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Check out the video of his creative process below:

If you’re in Philadelphia sometime between April 6 through the April 20, Tierney’s work will be on display at the University of the Arts. Check it out in person, if you can.

We just wish these were for sale!

    Trying to Be Optimistic About a Google Music-Streaming System

    The Wall Street Journal’s Amir Efrati and Ethan Smith are reporting that Google is working on a consumer-electronics system designed to stream music–and, eventually, maybe video and other media–around the home. Their story doesn’t have much in the way of detail, but does say that Google’s brainchild might be akin to a lower-cost version of Sonos’s excellent-but-pricey music-streaming products. Absent more details, there are several ways to respond to this sketchy bit of news.

    The 12 Best Android Widgets for 2012

    With all due respect to smartphone apps, sometimes you don’t want to open a new program just to get some quick info or perform a minor task. That’s where Android widgets come in handy, bringing the functionality of those apps right to the phone’s home screen. But not all widgets are wonderful. Some are glorified app launchers, while others are downright ugly. Here are the 12 best widgets that no discerning Android user should be without.

    They were superb. Shame with us entering the digital age that we’ll be losing dust jackets.

    I will keep dust jackets alive at all costs. I’m running a shelter for them in my bedroom.
