A huge collection of excellent drawings, realist (and surreal) photography, painting, collages, and more. Good for wasting a few hours and wishing you were cooler.

"Hi Joe! Hi Jane!"

In case you're not yet convinced, a man with all the credentials explains why a plane *can* take off from a conveyor belt moving it backwards.

"The above tag cloud shows the popularity, frequency, and trends in the usages of words within speeches, official documents, declarations, and letters written by the Presidents of the US between 1776 - 2007."

A sort of painting with tape. "I work on the light easel, applying translucent brown packing tape on clear Plexiglas panels, the layers built up to create degrees of opacity."

Just like it says.

"With enough time, tarps, and successive creature-eaters, our victory over un-nature is inevitable." The story of GMO gone horribly awry.

On Bush's favorite painting. "The president has identified closely with a man he sees as a mythic, heroic figure. But in fact he’s a wily criminal one step out in front of justice. It perfectly reflects Bush the man... and Bush the president."

"The recent launch of the MacBook Air has made me think a lot about my perfect computer, which the Air is not." Musings on the perfect machine.

For to remember.

An interesting personal homepage.

"If you need to know what french kissing is like, and how to do it, I would recommend thinking of the kiss as a sleep and your tongue as the dream. It's not right away, and it doesn't last the whole time." Contented sigh.

Hundreds of scanned condiment packets, arranged in a rainbow.

The nooks and crannies of megacity Tokyo are filled with "flowerpot gardens." “'To be closer to nature – because otherwise you won’t get any,' says Mizuho, a resident of Asakusa."

The coop local organic grocer right down the street from our apartment in Honolulu. Beautiful.

"Connects via WiFi to your online bank account, and donates YOUR real money to an organization you HATE when you decide to snooze!" Sleep in, donate $20 to, say, the GOP. This is an evil machine.

Hide an email address from spammers with Javascript-powered character encoding. Sweet.

"Given the coming battle for dominance over the mobile web and the size of the potential market (over half the world’s population), the most likely outcome is that we will see a return to proprietary extensions—a replay of the browser wars..."

The page that holds the top scores of Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell, the "Kings of Kong."

"Sean Booth of the British duo Autechre talks about just about everything but how he and partner Rob Brown make music."

"Oatmeal! I could almost taste it."

Some rather obvious reflections, but valuable all the same -- the continued appearance of articles like this shows how important these lessons are. On the volatility of web apps, designers, the relationship thereof, and how important the user is.

Best albums, album covers, old albums, Eureka! albums, and more from one of the best music news and reviews sites out there. You'll find recommendations here that you won't anywhere else; it's exciting.

Okay, seriously, I can tear out the page of my journal with sketches for this idea from last year. ;-) An awesome idea, though.

Entertaining ad campaign by Crispin Porter + Bogusky. I'm not going to start eating BK, but this is tasty.

Always intended to release a physical "artifact." "We didn't want it to be a big announcement about 'everything's over except the internet, the internet's the future', 'cause that's utter rubbish." Yorke still won't comment on figures.

Firefox has more users, perhaps, than is commonly assumed. With Firefox 3 on the near horizon, this may shoot up even more.

Not just good.

Typography in motion project for once of Vince Vaughn's rant monologues from "Wedding Crashers." Particularly well done.
