This is awesome. And just one of the oh-so-many reasons I have always loved Apple and always will. Watch the two videos one after the other. Don’t you especially love the assertion at the end of the Newton spot that “if there’s anything this world could use, it is more communication.” Hoo boy! (Thanks SMCLT)
Love love these new bathroom supplies from Target. They look like candy. I think my day would kick off quite happy if my bathroom were filled with these, don’t you? (You can try Target online, but I couldn’t find them there. Might just have to go to the store. Darn.)
Super excited to show you a new site we just launched. It’s for Ben Rubin, a bass player from Brooklyn who also happens to be my cousin. (But let’s don’t hold that against him — it’s totally not his fault.). We custom-designed the site and built it on top of the Backstage theme from the consistently first-class WooThemes. I’m really happy with the grungy yet trippy background with a little rainbowishness thrown in for a touch of happy. Seems perfect for a musician — especially a chilled-out, affable bass player. See the whole site, listen to some fine tunes, watch some…
I was looking for dog pictures the other day and wandered over to DaFont, my favorite free font website. Found the dogs I needed, and also found this: Freak Animals dingbat font. How fantastic are these? Wouldn’t they look great printed large and framed in a group? Created by the apparently awesome Rodrigo German.
Traveling around the web tonight, I found two different, unrelated, brilliant Frankenstein interpretations. I’m totally inspired by them both. Logo by Siah Design, found at LogoPond, a great source for logo design inspiration. Book cover by Julian Hansen, found at his portfolio site.
Oh yes. I like it too. See more of Harold’s Planet, and subscribe to their daily cartoon here. And here’s a bonus cartoon for you — my all-time favorite from them:
Just found these Vintage Carnival Gambling Boards over at the always exciting Modern Fifty. What do you think they are? Regardless, wouldn’t they look fantastic in a kids room? Buy them here.
Wow wow wow. Just, wow. Moddern Kiddo has a phenomenal post up today with about a million vintage kids’ record covers. If I weren’t careful, I’d end up posting every one of them here for you to see. But instead go over there and check em all out. I’m always a sucker for the drawn-on-a-napkin, bleedy technique above. And the red title on the pink background? With the fox’s purple hat? Is fantastic. And the panels in this one. With the crazy color palette. Red, moss green, yellow, flesh and navy? Are you kidding me? I can barely stop staring at…
Found this amazing quiz over at How About Orange today. It is utter witchcraft, I tell you. You pick the colors you like (and don’t like), and it tells you what career you should have. And it works! So much so that it completely picked up on my inner Aries/Taurus chaos by suggesting that I am first a Creator and second an Organizer. (Hello Right Brain? Meet Left Brain. Now be friends.) What should you be when you grow up? Take the test and let me know! PS. It doesn’t appear to like Safari, but Firefox worked great. (Thanks Jessica!)
The Infinite USB — designed by Gonglue Jiang and winner of the iF Concept Award for 2010. Brilliant and beautiful. Can’t wait to get one and get rid of the ugly USB hub hiding sheepishly behind my computer. (Thanks Design Milk)
