Alphabetter than your average...

Pretty neat. Someone obviously was either reeeeeeeeeeally bored, had far too much time on their hands or is missing the cheese off their cracker. Still, cool to see someone took the time to create this awesome alphabet.

You spin me right round baby right round

Now this is some very cool packaging

Workstations that will make you squeal

OK, seriously, if you need to dedicate an entire monitor just to the time you either have far too much money or you have geeked out beyond comprehension...

Can I get a light?

Some really cool lamps

A nice article in the Globe and Mail about how businesses can look at design as not just a visual thing but as a process they can use to tackle business problems.

Steampunk keyboard. Pretty cool

Sleeping in relative comfort...

Most of you have probably seen Eiko Ishizawa's Great Sleeping Bear which was pretty frackin cool but I discovered yet another cool sleeping bag the other day. I give you, the Tauntaun sleeping bag!!

What started off as a gag by the folks at ThinkGeek.com is now a reality. Get your own Tauntaun sleeping bag to keep you warm! Eat some beans and dutch oven yourself for even fuller effect!

In Memory of Geoff Lloyd

Just found out Geoff Lloyd has passed away. Geoff was the bass player and one of the founding members of the Matthew Good Band. I remember the first time I saw MGB in Calgary. They played at Max's Cafe at the UofC and there were maybe 30 people there of which maaaaybe 6 or 7 people knew who they actually were. Underdogs had just been released and their first single had just hit the radio. They were about to go big time but hadn't quite yet. I got a chance to talk to Geoff at the bar and I remember he was such a nice guy. We talked about touring and how bored he would get sometimes playing the same songs over and over again and how he wanted to play the new songs they'd been working on but couldn't because they were trying to promote this album. It was a neat insight into life as an up and coming musician. I am truly sad to hear of his passing. His widow apparently just lost her mother a couple of weeks ago so I feel especially bad for her. What a tough way to start 2010.

For those of you in Vancouver, a fundraiser for Geoff’s widow is being held Sunday, February 7, 2010 at The Astoria. For more information, visit the Facebook page that has been created for the event.

Adverblog: AIDS graffiti

"AIDES graffiti": great animation work against AIDS, promoting the use of condom. Maybe NSFW, but really cool, from TBWA Paris:

Male Pattern Baldness Post-its

This is brilliant. I wonder if you keep peeling back the pages you'd get a detailed cut away look inside the head...

Search Engines then and now

Thought this was interesting.
I personally consider the internet to still be very much in it's infancy. I think it has the potential to do some crazy things but the current technology is limiting that potential. Still, it was interesting to see this articles on how search engines have evolved in the last little while. Have a look at search engines then and now.

Cut outs

I got this link from Edwin. Very cool. I think if anything, my students would appreciate this the most.
