This image is posted by an anonymous users on a blog i frequently visit showing the time 3:13 on a digital clock. As shown above when the time 3:13 is rotated sideways, a bearded man with a mustache and wearing a crown becomes visable. This anonymous user named it: the king of time. How the user discover this image is also unexplained. He may have stumble upon it while looking at a flipped digital alarm clock/watch or by pure chance.

I find this simple discovery very refreshing. Everybody have seen a digital clock before yet very few has seen it as something other than the time of the day. I feel it is unfortunate that because we are in such a hurry, we fail to notice these interesting little things around us.

On the side note, this image is nostalgic as it remains me of the the days we still use emotioncons like the sideways smiley, :) , rather than animated icons we now use.

Heat sensative paint Shi Yuen has created. The wallpaper alone has a dull traditional floral of green ivy on a beige background However when heat is introduce the green bubs of the ivy will turn pink and eventually bloom into small flowers. At 15 degree, the "plant" will start its growth. At 25 degree, the pink tip wuuld reveal itself and bloom into at flower by 35 degree. At night, when the temperature it cool enough the ink, itself will fade away.

Heat sensitive ink brings the beauty of nature into the comfort of your home. The change in temperature creates movement in the paper as if it is actually alive. People repaint their home every once in a while for a change of mood so would it be much or efficient if the wallpaper will change itself. How great would it be if the walls of your home can be change a frequently as your computer's desktop? However the development of Heat sensitive paint is still developing. It is not widely uses for some fear the chemicals used. Nevertheless this is an intererting idea, and i believe, with time be the stranded for modern homes.
