The Deming Sisters - Good Life I Love You

November 5, 2008 – 10:30 pm

I’ve fallen for this little tune by The Deming Sisters. It’s purely simple throwback to old-time jazzy folk music. The vocals are beautiful, and I implore you to at least listen until to the kazoo kicks in.

Hello Seahorse - Won’t Say Anything

October 26, 2008 – 11:42 am

The song Won’t Say Anything by Hello Seahorse is a bubbly, handclappy work of beauty and has quickly become my favorite song of the moment. The video is pretty fun and makes you wish you were a part of the band. I found this live version of Won’t Say Anything that is stripped [...]

Thee More Shallows - Live, acoustic, and even more lo-fi than usual

August 26, 2008 – 11:00 am

I am currently swooning over the above video of Thee More Shallows playing their song Ask me about Jon Stross live and acoustic on a couch. I’ve been a big fan ever since I saw them open for Why? a few years ago. They have a very low key, new-folk style, but the [...]

Glen Hansard’s “Say it to me now” from “Once” soundtrack

August 6, 2008 – 6:17 pm

I just saw the movie “Once“, which was very good, but it was the soundtrack the really blew me away. I especially love Glen Hansard’s “Say it to me now” and the live performance I posted above is amazing. The sound quality in the recording isn’t the greatest but I think it adds [...]

If an ad agency today had to design the stop sign

This is pretty funny, but mostly sad because of how true it is.

Kuler and Flickr now work together

June 12, 2008 – 1:02 pm

I find that when I choose color schemes for my designs I end up falling back to my favorite colors over and over again, so when I need variety I’ve been using Adobe’s Kuler to find color inspiration. I love the way it works with CS3 so easily, and it seems to be the [...]

Foil boxes have a roll holder…my mind is blown

May 16, 2008 – 3:45 pm

lauren {elycerose} on Flickr just pointed out that aluminum foil boxes have push in tabs for holding the roll in place. This is the most amazing thing I have learned all week and I can’t believe I never noticed it before. My life is now slightly easier.

Swing jumping photos

May 5, 2008 – 3:32 pm

If you can think of it, there is probably a Flickr group about it. I loved looking at this Flickr set of people jumping off swings. Jumping off of a swing is one of the most exhilarating feelings in the world. It was my favorite thing to do in a park. [...]

Retarded Children Benefit Show

May 3, 2008 – 11:02 pm

I saw this photo of a roll of tickets for a “Retarded Children Benefit Show” and I had to post it. Apparently is was taken through the window of an abandoned movie theater. It almost looks like a photoshop, but I forget that “retarded” used to be politically correct back in the day.
