30 for a Reason

I came across this video earlier today, and I don’t know… this one kinda got to me. Hit at 30 mph, 80% of people live. Hit at 40 mph, 80% die. It really doesn’t seem like a huge difference when you’re on the road. Then you see a video like this, and it makes you [...]

“No. I’m not tired. Are you tired?”

So, it’s Memorial Day weekend—the weekend of my 26th birthday. The beau came up with an amazing vacation/birthday present for the both of us to celebrate; Manahattan, here we are! Well, the trip’s been great. I’ve only been to NYC once before and have been anxiously awaiting the next opportunity to go. Yummy food has [...]

Tuzki

So, I came across this blog entry today featuring what have to be the sweetest, simple animations I’ve seen in a while. This artist has a knack basic line drawing… “These bunnies known as Tuzki, are the latest to steal the hearts of Chinese netizens. Simplistic, noseless and mouthless, these bunnies have been hot on [...]

Shortbread Cookies

Mother’s Day shouldn’t go by without creating yummie dishes for the celebrated parent. My oldest sister tends to throw down the main courses and I like to bake the confectionery goodness. She called early in the morning to coordinate the menu, and I was giddy to tell her about my new find. One of my [...]

I just finished eating the yummiest dang apple Mother Nature ever dropped to the ground. These apples have to be the healthiest addiction I’ve ever had. But just watch, as with the honey-roasted Peter Pan, the minute I mark it a favorite, somehow it’ll manage to disappear from the grocery store. Crystal Pepsi, the Alpine [...]

Arial or Helvetica?

“Once there was a typeface called Helvetica. It was extremely popular. Later came a software company called Microsoft. They “borrowed” Helvetica for their operating system and called it Arial. This inferior typeface is now on millions of desktops all over the world. Can you tell the difference between the original and the rip-off in these [...]

Prick Up Your Rabbit Ears

So, I don’t get to watch a lot of TV. Even when I had access to cable television my lineup consisted of Spongebob, Two Guys and a Girl, and Rachael Ray. Who really watches more than a few favorite channels anyway, right? With that said, I’ve been reluctant to pitch in on the idea of [...]

The BEST I’ve seen so far…

This project created in the spirit of the recent “I’m a Mac…” commercials has GOT to be the best I’ve seen so far. Upon first glance, you can tell the effort put into the animation alone was well worth it. It’s a couple minutes long, but you won’t be disappointed. Be sure to use “at [...]
