Shaun Usher wrote a nifty post about a few unusual air conditioners from around the world – from the high-brow art/AC unit from LG to the Dunstable Wind Catcher, which is based on ancient Persian technology.

I, on the other hand, am immediately drawn to "Televox," a clever camouflage of a window unit by street artist d. billy in Brooklyn New York: Link – Thanks Dave!

Awesome Urban Camouflage

Urban camouflage is a fantastic new art form. Weburbanist has a wonderful collection of a variety of fantastic examples of modern and somewhat pointless camo.

WWII US Army HQ Camouflaged as a Pile of Rubbish

Posted by Alex in Pictures, Weapons & War on January 26, 2009 at 11:51 am

Just a pile of rubbish? Would you believe that it’s actually a US Army HQ during World War II, disguised by architect Sir Basil Spence?

StrangeHarvest has a couple of interesting photos of such military deceptions from Masquerade: The amazing camouflage deceptions of World War II by Seymour Reit.

(If you’re into this sort of things, definitely check out Jasper Maskelyne, a magician turned military camouflage genius who built fake tanks and even a fake city to trick German bombers during WWII)

Indonesian Mimic Octopus

Posted by Alex in Animal on December 7, 2008 at 12:44 pm

The Indonesian mimic octopus, Thaumoctopus mimicus, takes camouflage and mimicry into a new level:

This octopus is able to copy the physical likeness and movement of more than fifteen different species, including sea snakes, lionfish, flatfish, brittle stars, giant crabs, sea shells, stingrays, jellyfish, sea anemones, and mantis shrimp. This animal is so intelligent that it is able to discern which dangerous sea creature to impersonate that will present the greatest threat to its current possible predator.

Ursi’s Blog has the video clip of the mimic octopus in action: Link [embedded YouTube clip]
