Bio-Diversity – NYTimes.com
http://niemann.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/17/bio-diversity/ Unbelievably squee, terribly witty. Oh, to have this person’s imagination, not to mention backyard.
Op-Art – Summer Share-House Squares – Op-Art – NYTimes.com
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/08/13/opinion/20100813_opart_schottboardgame.html The NY Times offers this snakes ‘n ladders board game for cottage renters. I’ve never rented a cottage, but that doesn’t stop me from snerking over the fun scenarios listed here, accompanied by twee drawings.

82 Clever and Creative Fred & Friends Products | Abduzeedo | Graphic Design Inspiration and Photoshop Tutorials
http://abduzeedo.com/82-clever-and-creative-fred-friends-products A grudging thumbs-up: Whimsical products, to be sure, but arranged on the site so as to produce diminishing returns, squee-wise.

Really Short Films: Samurai on the Toilet & Man Blowing a Bubble picture on VisualizeUs
http://vi.sualize.us/view/3d97a4bb6f946d7d58b9fe47e7aae862/ Like the Lascaux caves for Emoticons. I have to say, no one has ever improved on the bubble blowing series.
BLU MUTO
http://www.blublu.org/sito/video/muto.htm Holy cripes! This is easily the most creative (if not one of the most pleasant) thing I’ll see all day. Highly recommended.
