Toronto News
http://www.blogto.com/city/2007/11/the_force_was_with_them_maybe_too_much_force/ A Toronto lightsabre fight – one of many weirdly-themed public parties (cf. pillow fights and bubble blowing) that have made our bland city a little less staid recently. I was indisposed in Europe when this occurred, or else… Well, I probably still wouldn’t have gone. But I could’ve laughed at this awesome picture earlier! […]
‘Fresh Blow’ Portable Aromatherapy by Moonhwan Lee & Yanko Design
http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/01/06/blow-up-balloons-to-clear-up-stank-odors/ I don’t like – or trust – air fresheners, but the sheer whimsy involved in this gadget is enough to make me smile.
urban knitting: the worlds most inoffensive graffiti
http://deputy-dog.com/2008/11/urban-knitting-worlds-most-inoffensive.html Tree cozies. The fine line between whimsy and insanity is crossed with a flourish, and two perls for each knit.

Western Spaghetti is Todays BIG Thing – JUL 10, 2008
http://todaysbigthing.com/2008/07/10 This had warning signs all over it: Crappy website, Flash video, Collegehumor.com atmosphere, and promises of the “Awesomest Things On The Web” (Exclamation Mark!) For some reason, I plowed ahead anyway. Perhaps it was the thought that nothing could be any worse than the supremely crappy work day I’ve had. Sure enough, this is […]
(Untitled)
http://flabbergastedly.com/?p=96 Brought to my attention by my pal Mike, (whose learned commentary is worth the jump, so I won’t even try to steal it), this page of anthropomorphised inanimate objects has vaulted onto my Top 5 Favourite Things on the Internets list*. *Not a real list.
Bent Objects
http://www.bentobjects.blogspot.com/ I’m very, very late to the Bent Objects party, and am now kicking myself for not showing up sooner. INCREDIBLY witty little scenes, made of simple materials and shot with a professional eye. No wonder the artist’s snagged a book deal so quickly. This is fabulous work.
All That And A Bag Of Rice: The Dakigokochi Virtual Baby Simulator/Announcement – Daddy Types
http://daddytypes.com/2008/01/13/all_that_and_a_bag_of_rice_the_dakigokochi_virtual_baby_simulatorannouncement.php I’m anti-baby but pro-cute packaging ideas. Consequently, I think this Japanese alternative to the cigar is both far healthier and far more squeeful. Best of all, there’s no squalling brat to soothe, and you can eat its weight in rice. Somewhat Swiftian, when you think about it… To celebrate the birth of a baby […]
