Tesla Motors just got one hell of an unsolicited endorsement, in the form of a glowing review from Model S owner and massively popular cartoonist Matt "The Oatmeal" Inman.
In a lengthy two-part cartoon, Inman first gushes about his love for the electric car (which he calls his "Intergalactic SpaceBoat of Light and Wonder"), then follows up in Part 2 with a request that Tesla Motors founder Elon Musk help invest in preserving the lab equipment used by the company's namesake, Nikola Tesla.
Skeptics will, quite reasonably, note that the lavish praise of Inman's review could be seen as simply buttering up Musk for Part 2's considerable donation request, a whopping $8 million toward Inman's own goal of building a Tesla Museum.
But clearly if Inman's only goal were coercing money from Musk, he could have done so without spending nearly so much time describing in detail his love for the Model S.
He dotes on the car's touchscreen controls, its safety features and its all-around stellar performance. He also spends considerable time, as many Tesla Motors fans do, assuaging fears from overhyped concerns about range (260 miles between charges for his 85 kwh battery) and potential for fire (very low, considering lack of gasoline and a software upgrade implemented after a few early, non-injury fires).
And then, of course, he asks Elon Musk for $8 million.
Obviously, Inman is no journalist, so he's not bound by any sort of perceived conflict of interest. If anything, he deserves points for being rather candid with his two-part Tesla-themed opus. There's also the fact that Inman has been no slouch on the Tesla Museum fundraising front, having generated $1.37 million in donations from fans to save the inventor's lab from destruction.
In the end, Inman's positivity, proven passion and direct appeal have effectively put Musk in quite a bind.
The entrepreneur's beloved vehicle now has a sky-illuminating endorsement from one of the Internet's most popular creative talents, and it comes at a vital moment in Tesla's goal of becoming a mainstream national auto brand.
But will he feel indebted enough to Inman to cough up $8 million and co-found a museum to one of history's greatest inventors? Time will tell. Or as Tesla himself put it, "Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments."
Ever wanted to view your whole world through the earthy optimism of Instagram filters? On the off chance your answer is "yes," then you'll want to check out a new brand of Wayfarer-style sunglasses called Tens.
Calling their creation "a real life photo filter," the makers of Tens set out quite a while back to bring the vibe of Instagram to everything around you.
"What if there was a way that we could skip all the cameras and apps?" co-founder Marty Bell recalls the team asking themselves. "What if there was a way we could filter everything we see while being disconnected from technology?"
The process clearly wasn't an easy one, as co-founder Kris Reid explains in the video below.
"After two-and-a-half years of exhausting sampling and switching between different supplies, trying to create the perfect lens, we finally have a product that we truly believe in."
The sunglasses are available for preorder on crowdfunding incubator site IndieGogo, where the project has raised roughly 1,700 percent of its goal.
Despite their clear popularity, the sunglasses may leave others skeptical about whether the creators have really achieved their goal of disconnecting us from technology. Is this an example of inspiring people to get out and enjoy the real world, or is it another case of the Internet saturating the rest of our lives?

Après plusieurs articles dédiés aux horloges design, voici une série d’horloges comportant des mécanismes de suspensions en fils de fer, reliés à des cadres de contreplaqué réalisés par le designer argentin Daniel Weil. Un rendu impressionnant à découvrir en images dans l’article.
L’artiste urbain d’origine espagnole SpY a récemment mis en place son installation « Moon » à Lausanne en Suisse. Un croissant de Lune artificielle a été suspendue grâce à une grue au-dessus du paysage urbain et s’illumine la nuit. Une installation très poétique à découvrir en images.
Tired of texts and phone calls, or all those Snapchats from Taco Bell? Find yourself checking your Klout score while walking down the street? Scrolling Instagram for the fifth time this hour with a look like you're solving a calculus problem? Wishing someone you don't even know happy birthday on Facebook while ignoring the human across the table from you?
Or maybe you just want to be totally off the grid anywhere in the world.
Sure, you could just turn off your phone. But that would be too easy. Now, thanks to Trident (yes, the chewing gum) and fashion designer Kunihiko Morinaga, you can repel all cellphone transmissions simply by wearing these hip threads called Focus Life Gear—made of radio frequency shielding fabric.
"While the introduction of the Internet and smartphones has made things very convenient, we are spending a lot more time in this virtual world even when we are with real people," Morinaga says in the video below. "This is why we came up with the idea to create a collection of garments that would help us avoid these distractions, and focus on real life.
"We used fabrication techniques for outdoor gear that protect us from the rain and wind, and applied them to the garments to protect us from the storm of information."
Buy some for yourself, or the virtual-phobe or reality-core friend in your life. This all seems great, but I think chucking my phone in the East River might feel more gratifying.

Do you smell that smell? I believe a degree of odiferous air has been let go from the social media bubble.
According to USA TODAY, LinkedIn reported a 46% rise in first-quarter revenue, to $473.2 million, but a loss of $13.3 million. The news sent LinkedIn shares down 2% in after-hours trading, to $159.02. Its stock, meanwhile, is down about 40% from its all-time high of $257.56 per share in September.
Warwick Business School Professor, Mark Skilton, believes the problem is lack of attention to mobile. “LinkedIn seems to be treating the mobile trend as just another channel but this might prove problematic as members seek consistent multi-device experience.”
That’s one theory. I have a different evaluation. People may be beginning to realize that the never-ending act of promoting oneself in digital channels is tiresome in the extreme.
Twitter Inc., LinkedIn Corp. and Yelp Inc.all have lost more than 20 per cent of their market value this year. Only Facebook, which is up 2.6 per cent, escaped the downward trend.
The Nasdaq Internet Index as a whole is down by almost 20 per cent, hovering close to the threshold for a bear market.
