When I was little my grandparents still had the same TV they bought back in 1954. Or it looked like it to me. (That really was when they got there first TV.) But with a farm littered with old forts made by my uncles, you didn't really need it... only thing I ever remember on it was baseball (courtesy of my grandfather) and watching The Bride of Frankenstein with my great-grandmother.

The other thing to do? Look through the hundreds of National Geographics that one of my uncles had collected over the years. I loved to look at the pictures. Figures. So, yeah, I think I might get this... I think this is brilliant.

National Geographic is selling a hard drive with 120 years worth of magazines. I think $200 is worth it considering all the photographs you can look through.

Creepy Dolls

I have a love/hate relationship with creepy dolls. I'm always waiting for their heads to move and then kill me in my sleep, but I'm fascinated with them too.

Love video, thanks shaun! The animation is fantastic and the story is right up my alley. :)

I wish I had the skills and the patience to do this. :) The visuals, music and sound design required 972 edits over 17 video layers.

I don't know where this came from, I just know my mother loves to say it.


TB or not TB?
That is the congestion.

Consumption be done about it?
Of cough, of cough.

But not for a lung, lung time.

Um...

Question:

Why does everyone have to sing silly versions of Christmas carols in commercials?

I kind of love Lady GaGa. Don't judge. I do. And I love typography. There – best thing ever.



LYRICS:

I lay it out like they do in magazines
check out this typeface it's like smoking nicotine (I love it)
using Adobe's not the same without a Mac
if it was lead it would be lined up on a track

oh,oh,oh,oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll mock it up, show you what I got
oh,oh,oh,oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll mock it up, show you what I got

You'll read my,
You'll read my,
You can read my Neutra Face
(Even if it's bold italic)
You'll read my,
You'll read my,
You can read my Neutra Face
(Even if it's bold italic)

N-n-n-neutra face, n-n-n-neutra face
nah nah nah nah
N-n-n-neutra face, n-n-n-neutra face
nah nah nah nah

Thought about Futura but the em space was to wide
even when condensed, no, i'll use another type
Gill sans the G is wack when it's in lower case
Avante gard you make me hard but helvetica you're played (played)

oh,oh,oh,oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll mock it up, show you what I got
oh,oh,oh,oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll mock it up, show you what I got

You'll read my,
You'll read my,
You can read my Neutra Face
(Even if it's bold italic)
You'll read my,
You'll read my,
You can read my Neutra Face
(Even if it's bold italic)

N-n-n-neutra face, n-n-n-neutra face
nah nah nah nah
N-n-n-neutra face, n-n-n-neutra face
nah nah nah nah

I won't tell you that you're modern
post- or nouveau
cause I'm hype'n with my type'n
I'm not freehandin', texting, letterpressin' or skywriting
like a finger on a keyboard
break a nail before I cross you
see my references, reference this
check this font cause it's sans serif

You'll read my,
You'll read my,
You can read my Neutra Face
(Even if it's bold italic)
You'll read my,
You'll read my,
You can read my Neutra Face
(Even if it's bold italic)
