This is among the greatest things I’ve ever seen on the internet:

The Boardgame Remix Kit is super cool. 25 new games from 4 classics: Monopoly, Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit and Clue. Available as fancy printed cards, an iOS app, or a book (e- or regular).

The Size of Things (again)

Remember when I posted that neat flash movie about the size of tiny things? Well, here’s a different one that includes the larger objects, such as the whole freakin’ universe. Neato.

Mars Attacks Prints

A company in Philly called LTL Prints has secured the repro rights to the old Topps Mars Attacks trading cards. I think they might look nice on my wall. #21 & #17 would make a nice pair. #47 and #54 might be even better:

For those that don’t know, Mars Attacks started out as trading cards in the early 1960s (’62 to be precise) rather than Tim Burton’s wild film tribute made in the nineties. Not that Burton’s film wasn’t excellent, but that’s not where it started out. The originals were just as odd, and possibly more subversive. The cards were bizarrely violent with slightly odd sexual undertones that got them banned.

Considering these cards were given out free with bubble gum, it would be a bit like visiting pokerblog.com and finding all the content was like some demented David Cronenberg movie. Luckily Tim Burton prevented the series from being forgotten completely, now LTL Prints are bringing back the originals.

Josefin Sans Std Light

I’d like to welcome guest font face Josefin Sans Std Light to the site. I’m leveraging Google’s new Font API and their repository of open-sourced fonts. Font substitution seems to work pretty seamlessly, even without using the WebFont Loader. If you notice any weirdness, or just want to remark on how beautiful everything is, drop a comment.

Cool t-shirt from the folks at Mule Design celebrating the career of Mexico’s only typographer/luchador.

Excellent. I want one.

Tim Gunn on Superheroes

I like Project Runway and I like Tim Gunn. I also like superheroes. It’s no surprise, then, that I also like this combination of those things:

I’m posting this here so I remember to check out Part II.

Edit: Here’s Part II.

We’ve been talking about this for how long? (again)

As a follow up to this post from years ago, here’s a modern multi-touch implementation of the D&D gaming table of our dreams. I’d be seriously tempted to get back into D&D with one of these bad boys in the rumpus room.

Dungeon Majesty

Dungeon Majesty is a cable access show where four reasonable attractive young ladies play D&D. On Camera. With cheeseball blue-screen stuff in the background. Check out the teaser. I join Mr. Doctorow in requesting that somebody make torrents of this show.

I read about this first thing this morning, but haven’t had a chance to post about it until now. It’s made quite an internet stir… I first saw it on BoingBoing, but it’s spread to MeFi and FleshBot.

Cool case mod

admin — Fri, 01 Aug 2003 06:26:37 +0000

This kinda thing is pretty dorky and usually I don’t much care for it, but this computer case is noteworthy. I like my Falcon a little bit too much to dremel it apart, but maybe if I had another one…

8-bit art

These Beige Records guys are doing some bizarre techno-art. Like the “hand erased” NES cartridge that just plays super mario clouds over and over.
