View it online instead W4This Week on Kickstarter JANUARY 12, 2012 This week's projects are all about making things better: your spirits with a shot of tasty, home-brewed espresso; your bedroom walls with a colorful (and sassy) screenprinted poster; and your sense of place with a DIY mapping kit. 2,0h Expletive: Zombies, Unicorns and Oh hell yes! 8-bit Creatures! We've found just the thing to replace those cheesy inspirational posters in principals' offices. Oh Expletive is a series of clever illustrations by graphic designer Safwat Saleem, each depicting that "Oh S@#!" moment familiar to anybody who's ever had the odds stacked against them. Except in this case, the odds are represented by awesome things like zombie attacks, unicorn swarms, 8- Oh Expletive: Zombies, Unicorns and 8-bit bit creatures, and more. Now that's epic. Creatures!

It worked. Now, a dedicated group of those citizen mapmakers will create a line of low cost, DIY balloon mapmaking kits — enabling anybody to make and share their own high-resolution aerial imagery.

An ambitious team of designers has re-engineered the espresso machine from the ground up, devising a system that promises to pull a better shot while still remaining simple and — the best part— way more affordable. Soon, you'll be rolling out of bed in your bathrobe and making cappuccinos like a pro.
