http://feltron.com/index.php?/content/2007_annual_report/ A graphic artist’s effective and whimsical “diary”, presented in the glossy, diagram-heavy style of an annual report. Brilliant and creative, it makes me extremely jealous.

decio: il blog: Commercial made real: Holy Trinit, Rome
http://decio.blogspot.com/2008/01/commercial-made-real-holy-trinit-rome.html Man, first I missed the bloody Trevi, and now this! If you can overlook the schmucky “artiste” nature of this prank, you’ll be left with the sublime image of half a million coloured balls bouncing down the Spanish Steps. I loved the enhancement it provides to the Bernini fountain. And – best of all […]
The Wrong Trousers on MySpace Music – Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures &Music Downloads
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=44087470 I’ve listened to all the songs on The Wrong Trousers’ MySpace page, and despite having just spent 20 minutes looking at a MySpace page, I love them. Their eventual album is going on my eventual want list.
Video Killed the Radio Star – CollegeHumor video
http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1762893 Seeing a “College Humour” link appear after pushing the Stumble button, I had already thumbed this down before realising it was awesome, and thoroughly worthy of a thumb-reversal: Nerdy high school types busk retro ’80s songs using a double bass, a mandolin, and a harp. This simultaneously restored my faith in Collegehumor.com, the Stumble […]

http://www.amazon.com/Paper-Airplanes-Page-Calendar-Calendars/dp/0761145761?ie=UTF8&s=office-products&qid=1199053423&sr=1-2 My apartment is littered with the cast-off pages from a decade’s worth of desk calendars. The family seems to have given up on them as gifts (and on gifts as a whole, really) but this one looks a lot more promising than the cheese trivia of the Wallace & Gromit calendar or the endless-repeats […]
Fwis • Readymech Series 002
http://readymech.com/ Oh man, are these little paper toys ever cute! I particularly like the little winged Japanese girl – I’ve got the eye of a 6 year old, and vibrant colours always revert me to a kindergartener’s mindset. Unfortunately, I also have a kindergartener’s motor skills and clammy hands, so I’d either have to find […]
Boing Boing: New land speed record set for sofas (92 mph)
http://www.boingboing.net/2007/05/16/new_land_speed_recor.html New land speed record set for sofas (92 mph) As one who has marked off only a handful of the National Express notches she’s got lined up, this is envy-inducing. Oh, for a mini-fridge and Internetted computer to complete the fantasy! (With a nice, rounded CRT screen, to enhance the aerodynamics!) There’s something very […]
LOL President
http://lolpresident.com/ I occasionally (OK, rare occasionally) get reviews from Stumblers who comment on my “intellectual” bent. Clearly they’re not paying close enough attention. I’m far more likely to post one liners or LULZCats than I am anything of weight or consequence. Witness: Of course, I did also LMAO at this: Perhaps they’re confusing “intellectual” with […]

Making Mii of Canadian Newscasters (now with pictures) & Life in Review
http://lifeinreview.wordpress.com/2006/12/12/making-mii-of-canadian-newscasters/ Canadian with too much time on their hands makes Nintendo avatars resembling (in this case, very closely!) some of our nation’s newsreaders and editorialists. I hope she follows up with video of Peter Mansbridge pounding the crap out of Rex Murphy in the boxing game. INNOVATION: 4/5 – I may have the world’s first […]
