T-Shirt Animation

I caught this clever ad for a Midwestern sub shop chain:

Head on over to the campaign’s website to see the making-of video as well.

Lesson Learned

So this morning I changed my theme. Yup.
I noticed, though, that I had hardly any hits to my site at all today. Somehow, I failed to connect the dots…(see, it’s a joke, because the ellipses uses dots)
Each theme has its own set of PHP files for the pages; specifically, there’s a different header [...]

Visual Chefs

I think Layer Tennis is a lot more like Iron Chef then a sport for the visually creative.

Perpetual Change

So as you may notice, I’ve changed my blog theme…again…and back to one I’ve used before.
I did this for two reasons:
1. While the previous Mac-centric design was clever, it was really only clever for like a week. VERYPLAINTXT is much cleaner.
2. My previous theme wasn’t wide enough in the main column. I was [...]

The White Stripes’ drummer is a nine-year-old girl.

The Non-Expert delivers a hilarious, musical entry today.

Moo if you like Business Cards

I’ve always thought of using Moo to create some business cards after getting a free sample some time ago. While I’m too lazy (and lack Photoshop skills) to have actually made my own, you can see some fine examples from Trey and Aaron.

We are funded largely through arms deals and inheritances passed down from long-dead Balkan royalty.

I ordered some pizza, but instead McSweeney’s delivered a heaping helping of humor.

This feature “premiered” at four Apple stores around the country last night and was supposed to be available as a free download on iTunes today. At the time of this writing, [...]

The Brute Squad

I’m a little anxious about a particular house-related task coming soon to a weekend near me…
This Saturday morning, my buddies Jake, Dave, and Chris are coming over to help me remove all the radiators from the house…
I’ve been borrowing a reciprocating saw (a genuine Milwaukee Sawzall, at that!) from my friend James, and just about [...]

DeLuca Gelato

I’m shocked I didn’t write about DeLuca Gelato on 9/16 when I first visited.
Tonight Valerie and I had dessert at this fantastic gelateria for the second time. I can tell you, having eaten the real deal in Italy, that these folks really know what they’re doing. It’s the first authentic Italian ice cream [...]
