Next up, I've seen this chick on the webz before. It's pretty mind-blowing, but I've never seen anyone cry at any of her performances... I realize there's some historical significance there, and she IS pretty gung-ho about throwing sand around, but whoa.
Because you've always wanted vertical Kanye-shades, except to the extreme. Feel like you've been growing your bangs out for three years but didn't realize you could pin them back. WIN.
I feel like this monstrosity was specifically designed to make me hork up this morning's mini-wheats back into my mouth. Look at the right arm... WHO IS WEARING THIS? An old lady, or a dude with some really shitty nice implants (and a wig)? Those veins look thirsty for some heroin, especially in that get-up.
One of the commenters on regretsy said it best: "aren't we always trying to keep the dog OUT of our crotch?"

Ok. On a more intellectual note, this video/guy is friggin' brilliant. He developed a type-motion program that displays song lyrics in real-time and animates them based on several pre-set visualizations. IMPRESSIVE, SIR. IMPRESSIVE, INDEED.
There has been some rad stuff on the internets the past few days (they tend to stack up when you neglect to update your blog for a couple days...)
Anyway, get ready for some real cool shit.
First up, I just gotta post this because it blew my mindz. Erin of Design Crisis did a fantastic post today about rooms inspired by the mod artist Roy Lichtenstein. Click that big-ass link and feast with your eyes.
Next up I am freaking LOVING this type treatment genius via Friends of Type. I think I first saw this yesterday and each time I brought it back up my heart palpitated a bit.
Next is Put This On: Episode 1 - Denim. I saw this somewhere way back and just happened across it again on vimeo. The people of Put This On aim to teach men how to dress like grown-ups. If they get the funding, they'll make a six-episode series, apparently. Check it out and learn about jeans!
Fun weekend except for our horrific loss against Penn State.
Alrighty, some cool stuff coming up...
check out this cool tent thing from Apartment Therapy. Not sure what you'd do with it, because you can't actually camp in it. Oh well. If it were exceptionally nice outside or we emptied out the living room, I could see myself using this for something silly.
Next, for those of us who are woefully limited financially, here's a way to save a few bucks on Thanksgiving dinner - straight off the dollar menu!
Feeling under-the-weather today, folks. Let's hope it doesn't last!
Well, first up we've got this special video from behind the scenes of the December 2009 Arts issue of Vogue. It features Annie Leibovitz, Grace Coddington, Lady Gaga, and Cate Blanchett. (via Oh?) It's kind of like watching America's Next Top Model, but for real.
Next up is an awesome typography-based video via design work life. The first one is just entertaining. The second from War of the Worlds, the text is dynamic and animated to suit the audio accompaniment. Follow the link to the blog post - there are two more verrrry interesting typographical videos featured.
Ohhh my gaahhhh check out the Vimeo channel, Nice Type. It blowz mah mindz.
Next is this (IMO) inspiring portfolio site from Douglas Menezes. I love the background art and the composition of the content areas. Anyway, I suppose I just think it's clever.
I'm also kind of digging this blog - MissDIOR COUTURE. Not sure what it's about really - just some cool collages and photography of some fierce fashion.
Next up is the siiiccckkk photography of Bruno Dayan. Just a warning, the beginning of his portfolio site is definitely NSFW. But these photos are mind-blowing
Yes, I've been slacking - sigh. But life is currently blasting me with all kinds of crap (both good and bad.)
Kinda like this...
But I have plenty to be grateful for and the future is bright (despite the black eye.)
Anyway, a mish-mosh of stuff for today...
First up is this cool 8-bit sticky note video. I've always wanted to do this on a wall of somewhere I live, but the cost of sticky notes may not outweigh the potential awesomeness.
Today is a weird day, yeah? Here's to hoping something wonderful comes along... there are possibilities, methinks.
First up, check out this video from Malcolm Sutherland. He makes some seriously cool videos. Found via OK Great. I don't quite get it, but I definitely enjoyed it. I wonder where the music came from and how they got it to sync so well with the animation...
It's a gorgeous necklace from White Owl. I find this peacock necklace to be quite fetch. [Gretchen, stop trying to make "fetch" happen. It's not gonna happen!"] Hop on other to see how to enter and win!
On a different note - this doesn't really involve design or anything - but you should check out this awesome video onhow viruses infiltrate our bodies from NPR. Love the narration and the animation is pretty fascinating.
