Everomp: Design Makes the Heart Go Yonder

A portable SNES player? I'm in! Wait... it looks a lot like the old Game Gear system. Well, beggars can't be choosers. (03/31)

Interesting article detailing the international troops currently stationed in Afghanistan. Yes, lest we forget, there's still a war waging there as well. (03/31)

Ever heard of photosynth? Me neither. Apparently Microsoft has, and developed some pretty amazing software around it. Yes, Microsoft. Go figure. (03/31)

Johanna has revamped her photography site. Much reduced, much improved. Let the photography do the talking. (03/31)

OMGPosters!!! [speakup] (03/31)

Amazing video of Polish weight lifters training for the Olympics. Being an avid weight lifting enthusiast, I can't even begin to imagine pushing around that much weight. (03/29)

Steve Jobs on Paul Rand. Really great interview on Rand as an artist, thinker, strategist. Steve Jobs' fanboys might be disappointed. (03/28)

I've found my favorite advertisements for tea. (03/28)

Dr. Pepper promises free soda for everybody if Axl Rose releases Chinese Democracy this year. Ummm, label this one under "What the hell?!" and "Who gives a shit..." (03/28)

Mass Art's new identity. Simple, direct, uses Gotham. A winner in my book. (03/27)

Timelapse video of Walmart openings across the nation since the 60s. This is the kind of shit that scares me silly. Corporate American, indeed. (03/27)

Seriously, I didn't mean for this to be flickr day... collage! (03/27)

Speaking of flickr, this is a beautiful photo. (03/27)

Now this is a cool idea - a search engine specifically for Creative Common License photos on flickr. I'll definitely play around with this bad boy today. My first attempt found these poodles. Christ... (03/27)

Johanna's trying a few new techniques in her photography. Really diggin' the last shot. (03/27)

"Just One More" Annual 1958. Love the illustration. [< a href="http://grainedit.com/2008/03/27/photo-annual-cover-design/" class="thx">grainedit] (03/27)

The Miller High Life guy explains the Super Bowl ads. Apparently I'm slow on this one, but it's still worth a link. His summary of the unabrow girl smelling like nuts is gold. (03/26)

The Internet Fuckwad Theory. I would agree with this equation. Having played Everquest in the early part of the decade, I encountered more idiots than I could ever stuff in a small lifetime. (03/25)

I'm fascinated by these business cards. [lined] (03/25)

Always wear your helmet! (03/25)

Only a geeky graphic designer can appreciate a history of the Argentina bus ticket. I do. I do. (03/25)

I love how this guy gets people to donate to local dog pounds. Do not reply, indeed. (03/25)

Modern Dog has a new book out: 20 years of poster work. Wow. (03/24)

Religion Explained. Brilliant concept. (03/24)

Jesus of Peeps. I bet He'd get a kick out of this. Happy Easter! (03/24)

Road map of Ludacris' hoes by area code. [marc] (03/24)

I really love the work of Jennifer Carrow. (03/21)

Guy Robot. I love robots. Just love 'em. (03/21)

Pay Attention and Give a Shit. Good advice for us all. (03/21)

Marc tells me this is so me and Red. Damn right it is. (03/21)

The Tap Project. (03/20)

A beautifully-alien abandoned hotel in Taiwan. Guess they decided to return home. (03/19)

A flickr set of old logos. I'm thumbody! (03/19)

Atari. Since 1972. Brings the point home fairly well, no? (03/19)

Sketches of SXSW 08. Don't really care about the subject matter. I care a lot more about the sketches. (03/19)

Water photography. Getting wet? (03/18)

I just spent way too much time at the new seymourpowell web site. You should do the same. (03/18)

The BigDog quadruped robot by Boston Dynamics. It's fascinating to watch this creation prevent itself from slipping on the ice, and downright spooky. (03/18)

Beautiful image gallery of the Tesla Roadster. The electric car is looking pretty damn nice here. (03/18)

Oil in North Dakota?! Time to flee North Dakota. (03/18)

Kirby: King of Comics. (03/14)

Studious Pupil. I think this ad blows. But that's just me. (03/14)

Packaging for the Amazon Kindle is quite lovely. First positive review I've read on it in...well...forever. Just watch: Apple will release their own "reader" hardware, and suddenly reading will be cool. (03/14)

Apple. Google. You. Ack. (03/14)

Waitless.org. Not bad Sprint. Not bad at all. Great tips, and the music for each video is perfect. Rock out with... well... (03/14)

I'm just like everyone else!!! (03/14)

The work of Pierre Nguyen blows me away. [fff] (03/14)

Great writeup on the new Camel packaging. I'm completely against smoking in every way. However good design is good design. (03/14)

Check out the third trailer for Pixar's latest, Wall-E. Why will I love this movie? Because it's Pixar? Yes. But also because my dog's name was Wally. He passed away six months ago. He was a good ol' dog. (03/14)

The Penrose Annual 1958. Damn that's tasty. [acejet] (03/14)

Frank Gehry circa 1990. (03/14)

Supressing by Michael Kosmicki. A bright future ahead for him, indeed. (03/14)

My new favorite web site: Codex Transportica. But where is the Flinstone's car?! (03/14)

I haven't been excited for Street Fighter since the early 90s. The trailer looks amazing. I wonder how this will translate into actual gameplay? And did you see the blood splatter on the screen?! (03/14)

I Just Might become a design observer. Marc's intriguing look at prostitution facts is definitely worth a look. (03/13)

41 million Americans drinking contaminated water. This is beyond fucked up. How drug companies are getting away with this is beyond me. (03/13)

SXSW music. Big. Ass. Files. For free. (03/13)

Cellswapper. This is a great idea. Because we all just love contract-breaking fees. (03/13)

Southwest Airlines grounds 40+ planes. This isn't scary at all. (03/13)

Apple will recycle your old iPods and cell phones. On a side note, posting is quite limited this week (as you can tell) do to serious work overload and some serious hardware glitches. Be back soon. (03/06)
