David McCandless makes infographics. These simple, elegant ways to see information boil down the too complex or too big, small, abstract or scattered to otherwise be grasped by most ( at least while just looking at it with out being bias or being in an information overload). Also his topics are sometimes quite comical. McCandless's work is if the Processing diagrams of Casey Reas and Ben Fry where frozen in space and time.

This awesome project by Gary Chang, a Hong Kong architect, is quite insperational. He transformed his pint-sized living space —a typical Hong Kong cramped 330-square foot apartment— into a super-efficient, super awesome 24-room bachelor pad with the help of an ingenious system of sliding walls, panels, and gizmos.

Recently, the New York Times profiled Chang and his amazing mini-mansion. Great way of downsizing! When Chang talks about the living conditions of the apartment when he was a child is quite shocking in comparison to his home now.
