Google | New Book Featuring Google Image For Every Word In The Dictionary



If you had an infinite amount of time on your hands, what would you do?  Create a cure for cancer?  Try to stop world hunger?  Or how about create a book featuring a Google image for every single word in the dictionary.  All 21,000.  Well that's exactly what UK based artists Felix Heyes and Ben West have developed.  The book, entitled 'Google', contains one image for 21,000 words found in an average English dictionary.  The duo used the first image that came up when they did the Google search, filling all 1,240 pages with JPGs, GIFs and PNG images.  How did they do it?  Well it turns out they used a php script that West's brother created for them (that's what brothers are for).

You want a copy?  Well it turns out this wasn't created for mass production due to the fact it would likely infringe on copy wright laws.  Go figure.


"it's really an unfiltered, uncritical record of the state of human culture in 2012. I would estimate about half of the book is revolting medical photos, porn, racism or bad cartoons." - Ben West

Check Out This Awesome Photo Of Thousands Of Munkiana Devil Rays In The Ocean


Talk about one hell of a reunion. These Devil Ray's were spotted in Baja California Sur, Mexico and no one knows why these guys all gathered together and headed in the same direction. My guess is Apple finally decided to release the iPhone in all major oceans.

Mixtape Table by Jeff Skierka Designs



Tired of setting your drinks on that boring old Kirland's coffee table?  Well Seattle based product designer, Jeff Skierka, has solved that problem.  Check out this hot new mixtape table.  While most of you under the age of 30 have no clue what a mixtape is or actually does, those of you who remember popping one of these in your boom box can appreciate the attention to detail in the table.  The table is made from reclaimed maple, walnut, and lucite materials (hooray for recycling!). You can even flip it over from side A to side B.  Want one?  While there's no word on a price, you can hit up Skierka directly about ordering your very own.

Guinness QR Cup


Guinness has taken social networking to a whole new level with their QR cup. The QR code shows itself after you've filled it with a healthy helping of delicious Guinness (don't try to be slick and fill it with ordinary beer because it wont work). Once the code appears, you can use your smart phone to scan it to do wonderful things like tweet your pint and update your Facebook status. Not too sure how I feel about publicly sharing when and where I'm slamming pints of Guinness but it's definitely a conversation starter.

Gemballa Debuts 100% Real Diamond Finish for Cars

This Benz is actually covered in diamond but its the type of effect I would imagine.  Plus is looks like space.  Space is cool.

So here it folks.  The very first official post on ONCE NOTHING.  As I'm sure most web authors will agree, the first post sets the standard for what the rest of the site will become.  So after grabbing my swim shorts and going web surfing I came across this article and found it a perfect fit for our first post.  Much like ONCE NOTHING will stand the test of time, ladies and gents I introduce a diamond studded car.

By now everyone is sick and tired of 26in rims and voice controlled navigation and cars that drive themselves.  The people want diamonds!  Now you can add those glittering gems to your cars paint job thanks to the good people at longtime Porche tuner, Gemballa.  And if you're asking yourself, "do they really use diamonds?"  Then your answer would be hellll yeah.  The gems are apparently grinded down to a small enough size in order to be applied like paint.

No word on a price yet but rest assured, not too many people will able to afford it.
