One Day As a Lion. Funktastic. ›
The Pickens Plan for wind energy in the US. Ironically, it takes an oil man to get things going. ›
The week is moving right along. Big things are happen in my life, which I most likely won't realize until after they're wrapped up. So here's to keeping on the up-and-up. Bring it on! (More soon, when life settles down) ›
Star Robot Chicken Wars. The Force is strong with this one. ›
Ever wonder where the gas you pump comes from? Apparently, most of it comes from the same sources. ›

Where the hell is Matt? Watch the first video all the way through. I'll have a smile on my face the rest of the day. Things like Matt's idea will unite the world in peace one day. Oh yes. (06/23)
DesignBolaget. I really like their identity work. From Denmark. [speakup] (06/23)
Gail Anderson, designer, teacher. Awesome typography. [marc] (06/20)
Iraq oil fields opening up to the Big Four oil companies. Wow, shocking. Very good article. (06/19)
Lemon Aid. Hah. (06/18)
Firefox 3 has been released. I downloaded it last night. It runs my Web Dev add-on deck roughly 2x as fast. This, my friends, is a great thing. High praise. Love this version. Now... about that IE8 on the horizon... (06/18)
1% for the Planet. A worthwhile cause. Can you spare 1%? Can I? Makes you realize where our true values are. (06/18)
T-Bone. 50 cents. Still trying to find a diner like this in Orlando. Hmm... (06/18)
Dumped, by Meg Wachter. Fun stuff. I'll take the spaghetti-os, please. (06/18)
McCain's brand has taken a step back, in my opinion. (06/18)

Pretty nifty mustard jar. Pardon me... do you have any... (06/16)
Unmarked gravestone on the month. I think Q*Bert rests there. (06/16)

64 tiled wallpapers to choose from. Happy Friday, indeed. (06/13)
An architect built his own elaborate scavenger hunt in an $8.5 million apartment. How freaking cool is that? Of course...the pay-off could be better, but... (06/13)
Designing Minds: Stefan Sagmeister. Nice, quick bio on the history of the man. Personally, I'm rather tired hearing about his Lou Reed cover. It's all you ever see when hearing about Stefan (that and the headless chicken). So seeing his older work is quite refreshing. (06/13)
Cloth skin BMW. Pretty amazing idea. (06/12)
Porsche has decided to produce a fragrance. Beautiful packaging, as always. Hope it's not stinky. (06/12)

FireNES. Welcome to never being productive ever again. No, really, don't even consider opening this link at work. Seriously. (06/09)
Red wine slows aging? YES! (06/05)
A&E redesigns their logo. A natural evolution. Won't be watching the Gene Simmons' show, though. Bleh. (06/05)
