An excellent post on Vampire Weekend from Sean at StG. He gets "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" just right. I _love_ this kind of music writing.

A great collection of unique and beautiful business cards.

DO WANT.

"Toneshared is the world's most interesting collection of mobile phone tones made by well known musicians and artists working in the electronic and alternative music scenes." Free, short, sweet. Inclues Caribou, Faux Pas, Califone...

"Panpyschism" is the theory that the entire universe is made up of bits of consciousness. "If you are poetically inclined, you might think of the rock as a purely contemplative being."

A greeter at the airport who welcomes and well-wishes operatically, he says to fantastic results. Pretty cool, but your suspicions will be confirmed at the end of the video. Very nice.

Run IE5, 5.5, 6, and 7 in OS X under X11 emulation. It actually works perfectly and installs in minutes with a few clicks.

The head of a company that makes videos go viral explains exactly how it's done. The commenters go crazy. Very interesting in the specific sense, but even more so in the overall evolution of media.

I.e.: "She spends her evenings reading manga and drinking at home alone, and she spends her weekends lazing around in bed. She’s a dried-fish woman." And whatever you do, do not miss the Bottom-Biting Bug.

Finally, a tutorial for getting size and line height to render and scale exactly the same in all browsers for a given font size. Requires some basic math in the stylesheet.

Next time I forget why Subversion can't ignore a file under Subversion, check this. The answer is to not check that file in at all, but to check in a template that should be copied.

Funny collection of pictures of people surprised or amazed or terrified. Forum pictures, you know.

Currently sunny in...

Awesome advertising campaign that arranges album artwork to create a bigger image.

M.I.A. as modern protest music. "It’s safe to assume, for instance, that when M.I.A. says in 'Bamboo Banga' that she’s 'knocking on the door of your Hummer-Hummer,' that she’s not looking for a lift."

Christopher Fahey lays out his. A by good set of commandments for happily and successfully working in design.

A video interview with the infamous web celebrity "Randy Constan, who has something of an obsession with dressing up as Peter Pan."

This is my longboard, recently acquired and from which I've twice fallen.

A _very_ detailed analysis of humanoid alien forms in Star Trek and just why there are so many.

"A Museum of Speculative Fiction-Inspired Spaceships." How big is the Death Star compared to Halo, or Marvin the Paranoid Android to Return of Jedi's Rancor?

Another take on the "NYC" portion of the recent and much-maligned NYC taxi redesign. It is praised. The logo on its own is quite interesting, and the possibilities shown with it as a "vessel" are cool.

"A series of professional observations about package design practices within specific product categories," including Razors for Women, Low-Carb Lifestyle, and Packaged Rice.

Free Mac software for taking webpage screenshots. Can capture the entire length of a page (beyond the "fold").

Tim Berry on trying to end the wrong job the wrong way.

The professional work of Jason Nocito; absolutely fantastic and blissed-out. Check out the landscape-portraits.

The personal photography of Jason Nocito. Comparing and contrasting, visual puns and stoned friends, the elevation of the mundane. Fantastic!

Excellent mixed-media art. Spray-paint, superheroes.
