MT comments are good. Proof of this lies in the linkage to the photography portfolio of Robyn Twomey - which comes straight Jeremy via the comments. It's worth a visit even if just for the 3rd "environments" photo - though there are loads of other good ones.

snow!

posted January 16, 2003 #

This morning was like Christmas. I woke up at 7:15 and looked out my window wondering "did it snow!?" and discovered.. it had not.. fell back asleep.. woke up at 9:30 - tried again, and viola. Tennessee snow (it's rare). Must take photos today (must find b/w film).

more nerdiness - cases!

posted January 15, 2003 #

I wasn't kidding when I said it was nerdy post day. Check out this computer case. It's definetly refreshing to see something way beyond the standard case with a window on it. Nice bit of trickery going on.

top this nerdy reference!

posted January 15, 2003 #

I'm going full-force with the nerdy references today: Such as this site that attempts to explain the possible connection between Led Zeppelin's "The Battle Of Evermore" with JRR Tolkiens Lord Of The Rings Trilogy. He does say "ringwraith" in the song.. so maybe it is.... (Update: Arlo reminds me that Gollum is referenced in "Ramble On" so this is really a pointless comparison since it's so blatant.)

site by presstube

The site for Buck65 was made by Presstube. Could ya tell? Pretty stylized piece of work.. nice drawings and simple layout.

tokion

Some crazy goods in the shop at Tokion (including a Shepard Fairey "soldier"). The Barry McGee toy with removable head and shoe polish applicator is probably the most bizarre of them all. But check the site out.. some good articles (though black text on blue bg does not make for the most comfortable read) - including an interview with Douglas Coupland.

MC Chris Fan

posted January 15, 2003 #

While his official site goes down on a regular basis, there is now a nice MC Chris Fan site. You can't get the uber-nerdy classics like "Fette's Vette" but there are loads of amusing sound clips.

Suspicions confirmed! That P2P Hydra is being claimed to be a hoax by the RIAA. Though that doesn't quell my fears that one day.. one day.. the RIAA is going to pull of something sneaky. Watch your back.

obey posters

posted January 14, 2003 #

Be sure to check the new slew of Obey Giant posters. Excellent stuff as usual. The Rollins, Loom, and Flava Flav posters are probably my favorites (because c'mon.. it's Flava Flav.. if only his big ass clock was around his neck).

J6 Studio

Fun animation and character stuff over at J6 Studio. The poster work in the personal section is the strongest stuff in my opinion.

a rip - but amusing

I think it's safe to say that Apeonaut site design is heavily influenced by Volume One but the music is fairly entertaining and that ape is just too cool for school.

snutty - deconstruct

posted January 14, 2003 #

Love the navigation at de-construct. Keyboard input is the wave of the future! The spastic (yet smooth) animations are pleasing as well.

buck THA menace

posted January 14, 2003 #

Straight from Apt 121 comes Buck The Menace. Aside from the fact that I'm happy Matt finally got this off his plate, I am linking it to push that counter up.. I can't stand to see counters (in general) that are below 50 hits! Good work from Matt for a client I'm pretty sure he wasn't exactly 100% excited about.

riaa hack - prolly bogus

posted January 14, 2003 #

So I read this article from Robbie and this summary from sibhod... and don't really feel threatened because I've kinda quit using filesharing programs (though with the soon arriving rumored death of epitonic it may resume). I think the Gobbles bug sounds pretty bogus - but only time will tell I suppose.

Wacky ebay item: here. The things people will spend their money on (like money).

Helmut Lang

posted January 14, 2003 #

The new Helmut Lang site is crazy. I mean... it's Times New Roman text with the occasional Arial. It's the anti-design of designs. I'm not sure if I like it, but I'm definetly going to give it the quizzical eyebrow raise.

Juliana Theory blows

posted January 13, 2003 #

I always wondered why Buddyhead made such intense fun of The Juliana Theory... That is, until I saw them tonight (or at least 5 songs worth of them). Musically, really not so bad - but the completely ridiculous and pompous swagger of the frontman was beyond aggravating. So the lesson here is - listen to Buddyhead - Juliana Theory blows.
