i'm not sure how well it holds up if you've never taken a typography class, never met a designer like this, or never learned the difference between kerning and tracking text--but if you have, this site is pretty funny.

bonus points for reminding me (in name only) of this guy.

fucking rad.

i love this.

severely disappointing

i feel a bit cheated. the way anyone who thinks that they know what they're getting does, when they get something else. i love just before dark...and that's what i hoping to get from last friday night at joe's pub. instead i got a thoroughly decent opening set by kelly (jones) williams (with mike viola on bass and backup vocals), and ONE song by mike and only mike. after which he called much of kelly williams' band back on stage, followed by the ickiest of LA ways...the all star cameo. after mandy moore, and tracy bonham got up on stage and got their star studded mitts all over the music...i couldn't take it, and i had to leave.



i understand the need to get paid, the natural creative desire to do something new--or at least something new to you. i think in general i understand why. i just have a hard time with viola's chosen path to a greater success, and so i guess i'm saying farewell to yet another musician that used to provide me with delight. see ya mike. see ya never.

some kind of human loser...

i like bikes. i like my bikes. i like to ride them, so i really like it when they have two wheels. one of my bikes, sadly, has only one. i might feel a bit better about it if the wheel had been stolen--the problem is i'm just not sure what happened to it. i could easily have left it leaning against my car in one of the many times i've given that bike a ride instead of the other way around. all i know is, i've got three bikes--and only five wheels.

oh and...one more.

ha.

for the second time i'm posting something found on copyranter. it's fast becoming one of my favorite blogs...so, y'know, check it out.



realtorism is truly a feast of cheesball slogans, pictures, and marketing techniques. i like the snark, and i always like pictures. enjoy!

woah.

so, as far as bikes go...i really missed the boat on this. Alta was a new project about four years back. i don't really think that's the point though...it's the advertising images that have captured me. things that don't look right--done right--often look...well, kinda neat. taking the time to make the impossible possible is a noble endeavor. this pursuit of what if is one way to retain your childlike sense of wonder...and i respond with a smile everytime i see it.



kinda reminds you of the triplets of belleville, no?

politics is funny.

the best thing to happen to get your war on, is the animated adaptation from 23/6. it really brings to life a cynical and funny but sometimes dry political comic. true to form, and much more internetable...or something like that.
