Thinking in vain...

I'm usually all about hardwood floors — but I kind of want to carpet a whole house in this. Land Rugs by Florian Pucher.

Tilt-shift photography is "the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene."

You non-Luddites can fake it in Photoshop.

I caught this flipping channels yesterday. TV is awesome. Or weird. No wonder our kids are screwed. This is too weird.

I wish I was out taking pictures like this. Instead... I'm too damn busy. I might have my head above water next week.

Apparently my new Droid has a good camera. Unfortunately I didn't get time to play with it before we went to the concert. I wished I'd taken my Nikon.

The one video I snuck and more photos will be up on Facebook soon. I promise.

She puts on one awesome show. I'm still recuperating. I always despised the floor, but I think I'd even do that again...

I'm definitely not one to usually wish my life away – but damn this picture makes me want October. I think I'll be 50 and I'll be measuring my life in Octobers.

Two of my favorite internet friends (whom I do like more than most of my real-life friends I have to confess) are super-talented.

Fred's got a new song out which I kept on repeat for an entire day. I highly recommend downloading it and singing along.

And Jetpacks has an awesome song... about jetpacks that I missed in April. But I've remedied that and have it stuck in my head. It's appropriate since all this weekend I wished I had a robot to clean my bathroom floor.

Mind (mine) looks likes a bit like Sylvia Plachy's. :)

Again, totally possible for me... if I had time and patience.

I have an obsession with desktop wallpapers. I can't have them for too long. And I even coordinate Tweetdeck's color palette to whatever I've got chosen at the moment.

So this just might be my new wallpaper. Because it is awesome™ and they're light sabers people! CMYK light sabers.

Fitting that I have "You Shook Me All Night Long" in my head this morning. See the whole collection at fubiz.

I'm in the mood for Halloween. October can not get here fast enough. Plus I take vacation in October. :D

It's a little weird. But I like weird. And he's cute... and he makes cute noises.

Brilliant shaun. :D

By artist Karen La Monte, I've cast steel before – and that was tricky. I can't imagine casting glass. Oh and say cast glass 5x fast. Go ahead.

Because that house looks about the right amount of creepy. And the weather fits perfectly.

I feel like I'd need to take a vow of silence to do this. The patience required must be astronomical. And patience and I aren't really good friends... I think she thinks I'm a bitch.

Anyhoo... more here.

But I won a toy from an online dirty santa – so I'm going to keep trying. :) Although I wish it would quit telling me I'm unlucky – I'd like to yell "no shit" at it.

Via Carb Free Creativity. The Scott Pilgrim site is pretty cool too.

These are awesome. I don't know how I feel about being attacked by my red wine, even if that's what usually happens. ;)

Via AdPulp (with one more).

Cool sci-fi landscapes on Earth – I think this one is going to be my new desktop. More here.

Makes me wish I was going back to school.

I got most of them... well some of them.

Found via my new favorite blog, which I think I found on twitter...

As soon as someone puts the commercial I'm looking for on youtube.

:p

Wanna see some creepy, cool underwater statues?

I thought you would.

 Found via If It's Hip, It's Here. There are more photos there and on the artist's website.

A mustache was the only thing missing. Now it is officially awesome™.

And if for some reason you've been living under a ROCK for the last two days, Old Spice has now become the highlight of my day adding videos on YouTube directed at fans. These are so much better than the Bruce Campbell commercials. ;)

Sadly though, he's missing the Selleck 'stache. A goatee isn't nearly as awesome. ;)

I could always fold a crane. More here.

Nowadays, my friends see things like this and automatically think of me.

For the first time I think I'm a little glad to be at work – I mean at least the building has air conditioning. These little guys don't look very big though – and I wouldn't want that mean guy.


 Oh, and I don't have a dog, but perhaps if I did – I'd get him this fun toy...

Gluing paper to a paper latern is harder than it looks.

I made him look drunk on purpose.

Unfortunately I never got to shoot with infrared film and I always wanted to. I did try my hand at liquid light – which is about as picky and hard to work with.

If you've never seen any, I stumbled upon some today. I might have to go get some for this weekend, although it really may be too hot outside for that.

In case your not on Facebook with me – enjoy.

Because so often we make it not fun... when it is.

Thanks Ben!

Despite being in Advertising, I don't post much anymore on it... mostly because there has not been a new Slowsky ad in a long time. Only one more reason for my dislike with Comcast to grow. Where's THEIR sitcom?? I mean seriously.

But on to cool ads I just saw and wish I did. At least Durham is sort of near me, maybe I can feel smart by proximity. ;)

Not only are they bright and colorful and make me think of summer – but the sculptures are real and such a great idea. You should be able to buy one. I would buy this one, because I love ice cream. And now I want to repaint my house.

So awesome work McKinney, I like your website too.

Found via Communication Arts, also there are more ads there.

I wish I could stomp around in red wellies. I will probably be working this weekend. Don't even get me started... I may go be mad on Twitter. :p

I had a drawing professor in college who had such perfect handwriting we thought it should be a font. He used a ruler even when he was writing notes on tests.

His official name is Bert, but we may switch his name to Magnum.

Also, still alive and I will post something besides mustaches soon. I guess. :D

Or our own town. I feel ya buddy:

I find myself being greeted with cutouts of articles talking about procrastination while supervisors and people with some leverage in the decision making business of the department are constantly rendezvousing to chat it up while I have my headphones on and I’m sending the twelfth job for the day. I’m handing things early and the thanks I get are the ones that are already embedded into the signature of an email. That and finger wagging emails highlighting trivial “mistakes” that are more style than substance and which on a rush day wouldn’t make any difference.

Misery loves company, so read the whole post.
