NEW FAILE PUZZLE BOXES MAKE FOR ONE HELL OF A STREET ART FANTASY

Not only do New York's art collective Faile capture the essence of nostalgia in these retro inspired puzzle boxes, they've created something that goes beyond the physical and into the digital era with their wicked six sided art puzzles that you can also play for free on your iPhone or iPad.

You can download the iPhone/Pad app through iTunes. Just search 'Faile Puzzle Boxes.' And, since each puzzle is six-sided, that means there are six different puzzles altogether in each box. Pretty rad. Here's some shots from their website. You can check out more or buy one at failepuzzleboxes.com.

BUDGET IMBALANCE: THE PRIVILEGED VS AT RISK PROGRAMS (INFOGRAPHIC)

Startling comparison of budget cut possibilities to valuable programs contrasted with tax break equivalents given to the wealthy.  You can argue about pork, too much government, but you can't ignore the incentives that keep the money leaders feeling entitled.  Restoring a sense of unity and sanity when assessing our economic instability is the only way out; Especially when you take into account the last figure at the bottom of this chart.
