Spotted this on the ride in to work, and it cracked me up to no end. I like how I’m imagining the author to be someone who’s just incredibly pissed off, but that anger is simply directed at anyone… everyone, for… everything. Of course, I presume the spelling and the “Y” in you is gang-related…
After work on Friday eve, me, Ben, Allison and Chris all trekked out to a Westin hotel in Des Plaines to attend the 2009 Pinball Expo. Despite some bumps along the way getting there (why is there a hotel way out in the middle of nowhere?), we eventually found the hotel, as well as a…
My coworker Nick is working on publishing a book, and is using Kickstarter to raise up funds. The working title is “Cadence & Slang,” and the topic of the book centers on interaction design. In addition to updates on Kickstarter, he’s also got an official site up. It seems more and more folks are utilizing…
Let me set up some backstory. Once a year, Deb and the Marketing/Sales teams gather all our IAMs together (Interactive Account Managers) to meet one another, and to discuss success stories and to share strategies. In the past, we’ve flown clients in and even threw a party in the office, complete with catering and everything….
Man, this is some serious pranking by the Japanese. I’ve always liked a lot of the Japanese TV shows I’ve seen online, but this one is pretty… rough. I feel so bad watching this, but I can’t seem to look away. Via @bit101 and BB. The above is a pretty hard core “prank” example. One…
After work yesterday, Liz decided to spend part of the evening making donuts. And not just any old donuts, but pumpkin hazelnut donuts. Cutting out the individual pieces. Donuts and donut holes. The final donuts, prior to cooking. All in all there was about a tray and a half. The first few donuts, fresh from…
I’m up early (alarm went off at 5:15 AM) working on a redesign for the blog. This was an old project I started many, many months ago… and I’m trying to wrap things up for a relaunch. The mornings are an odd time to be working on things like this. It’s nice because it’s quiet…
I had no idea this video existed, and it totally made my Friday when I saw it last week. I happened across the video while perusing Split Screen, a blog focusing on “the simultaneous use of multiple imagery – side by side, superimposed, and otherwise visually orchestrated.” After browsing around a while, I was motivated…
Liz was feeding Baxter some mint over the weekend, and took a bit of video. And in case you’re wondering, yes, those are bunny slippers that Liz has on. I got her a pair for her birthday a while back. If you’re interested in your own pair, there’s an entire site dedicated to bunny slippers.
Shelter, by Ray LaMontagne is a song that makes me think of Fall. With its slow tempo and his trademark raspy voice, when I hear this song I imagine sitting on a porch somewhere, watching the world pass by.
I went to the doctor yesterday. It was actually a specialist, and the appointment was to meet with someone about a bit of dizziness that I’ve been experiencing lately. I first started to notice things maybe 3 months ago. It wasn’t spinning-room dizzy, I just noticed a very subtle, slight moving of the ground. Typically,…
This video is by Dan Chung, a staff photographer for The Guardian. Chung also has a site called DSLR News Shooter that serves as a place for photographers to share examples and discuss working with HD DSLR cameras. A lot of the DSLR News Shooter site is way over my head, in terms of the…
This is a pretty great/silly music video of Let Love Rule (Kravitz/Justice) from Keith Schofield. [via Coudal]
This is such a fantastic idea for a website. My Parents Were Awesome is the antidote to Awkward Family Photos. It was hard to only post one pic. So many great images on this site. Also via MetaFilter. psst: repetition and variation.
If Ren and Stimpy, Don Martin had a love child, it would be this cartoon (and would sound a bit like Spongebob). It was weird for the first 30 seconds, and then I simply couldn’t look away. Lots of great one-liners in this one. [via MeFi]
