I'm off to Philadelphia this weekend. Have recommendations for me? let me know. I'm definitely going here and here. Where else should I not miss?

Let's get down to business. First off, do not miss this majestic GIF or Slinky Cat. Game changers.

Nightblonde, Vanishing

posted May 20, 2016 #

Another week closer to the official release of Nightblonde's debut, Numbers and another song debut to keep your interest piqued. Give a listen to "Vanishing", one of the tracks that showcases the bands ability to blend three singers into a melancholy pop song The Cure would be proud of.

Carl Burton

Really loving this animation work from Carl Burton. Much of it is very subtle and atmospheric - hazy in a way that you don't often see from GIF's. You may have seen his work as the cover art for Serial Season 2 but the entirety of his portfolio and Tumblr are a worthwhile, beautiful, browse.

Fly By Night

posted May 19, 2016 #

What happens when you attach LED lights to 2,000 pigeons and release them at dusk to fill the sky? You get Fly By Night, the public art project from Duke Riley. The effect itself is pretty mesmerizing to see, albeit somewhat hard to capture on video. This Creators Project profile is a nice bit of insight into the project and Riley's respect for the animals and undertaking.

Understandably, there is some controversy around the project, as the pigeons aren't exactly volunteering for the job but, personally, I feel like the evidence leans towards the birds not being traumatized.

Take What You Can Carry

posted May 19, 2016 #

The site for short film Take What You Can Carry is a shining example of clean, beautiful, engaging site design that draws you in without knowing a thing about the content. The "What" section is my favorite but the layouts for Production Notes and Cast and Crew are beauties in their own right. Well worth a browse for the experience and inspiration.

Recently there have been rumblings that the web is reaching a point of homogenization and, thus, boredom for those using it. There are valid points in that kind of critique but it's also worth taking a moment to acknowledge great, clean, usable, fun web design when you encounter it.

Generation Why Podcast

posted May 19, 2016 #

I have it on good authority that if you're into True Crime podcasts, you should be diving headfirst into Generation Why. The hosts - Aaron and Justin - dive into the expected topics of unsolved murders, conspiracy theory, controversies and various mysteries all while keeping it respectful and intelligent. These kinds of topics can veer off into crazy land pretty quickly so it's nice to know there are people discussing these concepts with a level head.
