No lifeguard on duty

No Lifeguard On Duty is the name of this beautiful photographic series of abandoned swimming pools by J Bennett Fitts. The combination of the color palette that he uses together with the overall mood in each and every one of these pics is something to admire. [via collectiva]

Causing a scene

For me, it’s never too early to be excited about summer music festivals. And in San Diego, I’m already pumped for this year’s Street Scene which includes M.I.A., Conor Oberst, Girl Talk, and Ra Ra Riot just to name a few. Local acts Anya Marina and the Crocodiles are also getting some stage time, so this is gonna be a hot ticket.

Made of breathable, 100% natural rubber, Feelgoodz molds to the shape of your feet and claim to be the most comfortable flip-flop you’ve ever worn. Better yet, your flops are 100% recyclable and biodegradable. Totally cool.
