Techno Taggin’

January 28th, 2008

Check out this clip posted on qbn today. A sweet modernization of tag artistry. Can’t imagine where this will take the design / art world. Yay technology! YAY!

Tag 3d

If that’s too much for you, enjoy some old school etch a sketch action…

Fantasy World

The site of the day on FWA is just a pleasure to look at. Take a look and poke around for some fun animations.

And another find on the FWA site, some soccer loving adidas action. Enjoy.

And The Word Of The Day Is…

January 16th, 2008

Tuple. Yes, tuple. Thanks to wikipedia i came across this word in a definition of the word bogey as used in golf. Don’t ask. Anyways, upon following the link in wikipedia i learned it’s meaning and feel ever more intelligent as a result. Let’s celebrate the beneficial addition of wikipedia to our ever expanding technological world.

I also feel like i need to drop a little post Christmas designer mention. I honestly didn’t find anything really captivating going on with the holiday promotional sites this year. Send me links if you differ, at first thought Starbuck’s “It’s Red Again” site didn’t make much sense to me, and the oh so popular “Elf Yourself” idea, well, join the ranks of “let’s do something that’s been done before, just a little different.” Way to think outside the box. My response, i dug up this old joy from many Christmas’ past and figured i’d post with a link while it still exists. An awesome little snowball fighting game that I don’t think got the attention it deserves. Thank you, Barbarian Group, for several years worth of holiday fun. For me at least. Oh yeah, and thanks Discover Card for doing something that doesn’t scream promotion.

What brought all this on? Well, in some daily browsing I came across a little Valentine’s Day promotion. Yeah, already. Another year rolls around and I can feel my angst coming on already. Maybe not. Maybe so. Enjoy this if you’re one of those types who’s phone has everything to do with Valentine’s Day…

Sunset Seating

January 15th, 2008

The last few weeks of sunsets here have been splendid. I’m fortunate to have a westward facing window high enough to see the broad horizons and after sitting through another lovely viewing thought to share a photo a colleague caught of last monday’s sunset. Enjoy!

Made a trip to this little hill top over the weekend and got some lovely pics.  Another local site off the checklist.  And something to blog about since it’s been forever…

Cirque du Soleil

November 9th, 2007

I’ve been a fan of the things they do for a while. Just came across this site encouraging people to sign up and join the family. If you’ve never seen a show, shame on you! Some of the best blends and broken boundaries of artistic talents this world has ever seen. Simply incredible…

Cirque

And it’s also apparent i’m not keeping up here like i once have. I’m sure it’ll come in waves, but you don’t have to hold out for it. Just check in whenever you feel like it. Just feel like i should put a disclaimer out there as my schedule is just continuing to grow more and more hectic. Guess that’s just how it goes when you get more familiar with your new surroundings. Then again, this town has the tendency to eat people alive. Seriously, i’ve seen it with my own eyes…

Snow Globalization

I used to love snow globes.  These look awesome though.  An updated version for the modernist.  Enjoy…
