Damn good icons
Icons like these are so simple that they look like they’d be easy to make. But creating icons and pictograms as clean and as rich as Stefan Dziallas is a herculean task. That’s what makes his work that much more impressive. Brilliant!

Energy efficiency is a bitch
Traffic accidents are no laughing matter, but I have to say the irony of this situation is mildly amusing. Apparently LED light bulbs are so energy efficient that newly installed LED traffic lights are causing accidents because of their inability to radiate enough heat to melt the snow that collects on them.
