Now this is a good way to start a day... inappropriate but definetly worth a chuckle.

Ryan has scary clown stencils and cool links to British Donnie Darko Art Exhibits.. okay well he just has that one link but it's cool. I agree with him that I want to see some nice quality versions of the pieces created for the show - the sneak peeks they give on the page and in the videos are just enough of a tease to want to see more.

Please view these and be inspired.

Great color choices and fun illustration style at Skwak.

The Absolut Stella site is rather nice.. good concept, very nice execution (love that Flash video in MX). The presentation of the clothes is a nice combo of vector and bitmap..

Apparnetly you can view the "full image" for the new Matrix posters - but umm.. isn't that defeating the point? The "bad" cropping is what made them such well designed posters.. otherwise they're just glorified headshots. Weak.

Love the textures on the Dredg site. I still need to actually listen to them, but irregardless.. i like the textures.

Caught Jackass: The Movie this afternoon and was quite entertained. If you weren't a fan of the show, don't waste your time because it's just an hour and a half long episode.. but definetly a riot. Apparently I wasn't the only one to think so either, because it will prove to be #1 at the box office this weekend.

I saw Punch Drunk Love tonight. I feel that the anticipation was worth it. Paul Thomas Anderson will be hard pressed to ever top his epic Magnolia but that's not to say he doesn't do a fine job anyway. Adam Sandler did an excellent job, much to his nay-sayers chagrin I'm sure.. he was a believable Barry Egan. Never let anyone give ole PTA crap about taking too long with his movies, the results are worth. The only complaint I have about the film is that the character Emily Watson portrayed didn't have much, if any, background to her.. but I suppose in the end, the ambiguity was on purpose.. and very effective.

Thank you Geoff for the link to DP Review - where I can find out others opinions on Digital Cameras...

The jury is back on the decision - Tony Hawk 4 is just as distracting from work and addictive as all the others.. maybe even more-so.

I know they're dumb but these things have always greatly amused me. "None of us is as dumb as all of us" is definetly one of my favorites.

Interesting design style vs. function reading materials here and here. Thanks to Jamie I am becoming enlightened.

OBEY Giant stuff still rules. Check out the The Giant Rock N' Roll Swindle as well as the Post No Bills book.

Investigate Life through a lens and see what you think. I love the colors and "tunnel vision" effect on lots of the pictures. If you're in a hurry, just check the Photo Of The Month section.

Illustration shading madness available at Juniat Work.

Check Ourkive.net for lots of really busy crazy vectors... definetly something to appreciate every so often.

I've been saying that labels should do this for years. Finally someone is putting digital versions of the music onto the CD - unfortunately it's Windows Media but hey.. you can't win em all. Still a good idea for the labels to pursue - as it cuts out the work of having to make mp3's and might prevent people from file-swapping. More ideas benefitting both the consumer and the label are good.

This sniper chase gets more and more interesting as the night goes on - too bad I have to sleep. The whole duck in a noose is just bizarre - did the guy want the police to act as if they'd caught him and get the media off his back? Doubtful to me as it seems he probably wants the media attention. Maybe it's some crazy manipulation of the media using them to send out a "code word" to a larger group of people that know that ducks in nooses mean it's about time for the shit to hit the fan. Or maybe that's all just sleep deprived paranoia... probably so.

I'm kind of fiending for a new Digital Camera - one that uses SmartMedia would be preferable (since that's what I have now). Printability and good color control are a must - any suggestions?
