The Nessie Ladle is designed by Ototo that is shaped like famed cryptic Nessie.  It will be available for sale on Animi Causa, with shipment starting May 2015.

Pop star Taylor Swift is seeking to trademark phrases including "this sick beat" and "we never go out of style", in the United States.

The phrases are all lyrics from her current album, 1989, which has sold more than 4 million copies in the US.

If granted, the trademark would stop others from using her lyrics on items such as t-shirts, stickers and bags.

Other phrases she wants to protect include "nice to meet you, where you been" and "party like it's 1989".

Her name, signature and initials have already received trademark protection.

Although the application may seem trivial, printing lyrics onto merchandise is an increasingly important revenue stream for musicians in an era of declining record sales.

Some of the items that would be covered by the trademarks - such as typewriters and walking sticks - are presumably obligatory, falling into the same category as tote bags and backpacks.

Other obscure items listed include napkin holders, paint brushes, Christmas tree ornaments and "whips, harness and saddlery".

Interesting article about the trademarking on mic.com:

The process of evaluating the potential to name a storm is a continual process that includes a daily hemispheric map briefing among the Global Forecast Center’s team of meteorologists at The Weather Channel.

Based on a thorough discussion of meteorological and societal factors that could produce a winter storm, a decision is made to name or not name. It is important to note that the decision to name a storm is solely held by a committee of meteorologists.

Wireless speaker system manufacturer Sonos has unveiled a new logo featuring an optical illusion that makes it appear as if it’s pulsating with sound like a vibrating speaker while scrolling past it in a web browser. The newly “remixed” logo will also be appearing in more minimalist, not pulsing forms.

Artist Fabian Oefner recently blasted a Ferrari California T with ultraviolet paint in“Visualizing a Ferrari through Speed,” an art installation commissioned by Ferrari.

To create the installation, Oefner placed the car in a wind tunnel and released the paint in winds exceeding 150 MPH. The installation was filmed under ultraviolet light, causing the paint to glow colorfully — the black car, on the other hand was rendered nearly invisible. Ferrari has produced a making-of video that provides a behind-the-scenes look at the project.

Fun ton of voice. Great resource for videos too.

Reebok Bacon was launched at last month's Reebok CrossFit Games in California.

They claim the mega meat contains all the protein of your regulation rasher but without sweeteners, monosodium glutamate, nitrates or nitrites. Aimed at those adhering to the Paleo Diet - a regimen involving lots of meat, vegetables and fish - the product is designed to bring home a bacon that isn't actually that bad for you.

The bacon is the brainchild of ad agency Venables Bell & Partners. It is not yet known whether Reebok will roll out the product for real but it was certainly a hit at the CrossFit Games.
