The painting, titled A Golden Retriever at the Museum, depicts Mosser’s golden retriever, Lucas, and it became one of the most widely shared pieces of dog art in internet history.

Bigass Earhorns

Pnoe hornspeakers: “Little did we know what lay ahead when we received the review solicitation for the Pnoe hornspeakers. We scanned the website of the Greek manufacturer and learned that the Pnoe—pronounced pno ay and meaning wind or breath of life—is a huge and foremost slippery smooth design.”
