Seriously, nothing can compare to this… its aural bliss.
You’re welcome.
Down with your iPhone.

No, I’m not just jealous. I happen to love my Tilt… I’m just so fed up with all the iPhone blogs and news articles. Nearly every blog site I visit has been inundated by articles pertaining to the iPhone… Seriously how much can you say about them? Your release was an epic failure, and your apps will be the downfall of your product. Okay, maybe I’m a little jealous, but as a texting fiend, I’m not sure I’m willing to give up my beloved Tilt. </rant>
Let’s spend our next few minutes together doing something other than talking about the iPhone, shall we?
First, I had this for dinner tonight. Seaweed salad with jellyfish! Delicious:
NOM NOM NOM NOM . . . . .
Here’s something that the geeky side of me dreams about. For now I’ll just stick with reading about the dream of a set up.
Hey-o to all you designers… recently a surge of vector based graphics have taken over the web and advertising in general. Learning to create vector based graphics is critical in the present day - and this website allows for anybody hoping to learn from the beginning OR just check out some sweet new techniques.
I originally landed on this website under the pretense that it would be a good way to get inspired. Inevitably, the level of skill required to create some of these made me feel like a pretty big loser… nevertheless, its worth your time to check out the mastery of skills presented. I especially liked the graffiti portion, as I am a fan of street art, you know.
Onward with the graphic related stuff… isn’t it amazing to see the awesome designs that can be made with strictly text? Typography is delicious… not to mention a crucial skill in modern design.
Lastly, here’s something fun… if you’re looking for a way to memorize– why not learn from the best? Memorize with your feet and elbows!
I promise to be more on my game with blogs. I’ve been doing some weird Geek Squad hours, and have been neglecting my dear sweet web works. <33 Forgive me.
ATM awnings and wolf spiders, Oh my.

Don’t you hate it when you take down the local bank branch’s ATM awning?
Probably the most revolting thing I’ve ever seen. I can’t even sit in my chair with this up. EW, GEEK OUT.
The first IBM hdd in 1956. Sweet. Oh, and P.S…. it was 5MB.
And now to leave with a not-so-inspiring, but unfortunate truth in quotes. (No, I am not amidst a heartbreak. I’m actually quite content right now.)
“A heartbreak isn’t always as loud as a bomb exploding. Sometimes it could be as quiet as a feather falling and the most painful thing is, nobody hears it but you.“

Nothing will have happened.

Once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing. That was the most arrogant and mendacious minute of “world history,” but nevertheless, it was only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die. One might invent such a fable, and yet he still would not have adequately illustrated how miserable, how shadowy and transient, how aimless and arbitrary the human intellect looks within nature. There were eternities during which it did not exist. And when it is all over with the human intellect, nothing will have happened.
— Friedrich Nietzsche
The sustain… listen to it.

We’re taking on water and about to ******* sink. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the State of the Web 2008. (If you caught that reference you’re awesome.)
Is there something wrong with the volume on these crazy BBC News videos, Nigel Tufnel? (Again, if you caught that one, be my friend).
If you don’t have a local Walmart or three, you’re well on your way to getting a few. Watch this for a brief animation of how fast these things reproduce! Nicely done.

I must admit, I’d be a little freaked out. Pretty awesome concept, however… especially when you see the reactions of the other people. They aren’t sure what to do with themselves. HA!
If Albert Gore would have really been thinking, he’d have explained things this way. Not that I think many males would be motivated to actively work against global warming, but it still puts things into visual perspective.
This website is hilarious. (Though, if you’re already insecure about your partner’s fidelity, avert your gaze immediately). Cheatneutral tries to make it seem acceptable to cheat on your partner. In the same way, carbon offsetting tries to make it acceptable to carry on emitting excess carbon.
Interesting study on usability within desktop organization. I must admit, this is a fascinating way to peak into the minds of people. You can see hierarchical organization or even how lazy a lot people are. It seems to be a struggle for me to keep my desktop organized. Every few weeks I have to move things around and put them in the proper place… huh… wonder what that means about me (lazy, lazy, lazy). My wired writing professor would probably enjoy the study.
Lastly, before I get myself one of those ‘real’ jobs (who am I kidding- I’ve got plenty of time), who is going on vacation with me?? (If you are not a Sugar Daddy, you need not apply- I’m not interested in paying my own way.)

Anybody down for a brief flight through the Cumberland Valley?
For anybody who feels bad about not getting me a graduation present, do yourself a favor and order me one of these.
Afraid of gift duplication? Go ahead and order me one of these, then.
If you’re bored, and want to learn some pretty sweet Photoshop tutorials or techniques, I would recommend perusing this site.
“After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. You learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So, plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.”

I don’t have a lot of time tonight, so I’ll be snappy and leave you with one of my favorite picture series. Ladies and Germs, President Bush falling off a segway. (An oldie but goody- gets me everytime.)

Here I am again. Back with more of the same internet scraps to fill you with joy. I know you have been hitting the refresh button since you clicked the last link yesterday. Why, I can almost feel your glowing smiles from here… you know… if I were capable of feeling emotions.
I’m on the fence about whether or not to label this an obsession or creativity. I’ll let you be the judge as you gaze upon 65 things that look like Pac-man.
I’m not a wine enthusiast. In fact, the majority of pictures on facebook I’m tagged in consist of me and a bottle of Boone’s Farm (told you). I do, however, do enjoy a variety of blog topics. One of which happens to be wine. That being said, my curiosity was piqued at a serious of challenges in which enthusiasts tried to find a food that was impossible to be paired with wine. Enter the challenge of pancakes and sausage!
In an effort to force myself from being so dicriminatory when it comes to my fruit, I believe trying my hand at some gardening may be the ticket to accepting unnatural shaped melons.
Speaking of unnatural when it comes to food- try this strange combination of hilarious and cruel.
WOOT! And now for the first edition of: MY FRIENDS ARE CELEBRITIES. Or, you know, maybe not… but The Duckster and I def bonded over some solid whiskey now and again… and now look at him go. (Get through the first 30 second commercial and look for the handsome Duck in a suit).
And now, I’ll close with something motivational to keep you moving through the day:
