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

Bond on Netflix Streaming

13 of the 20* Bond movies are available for streaming on Netflix! Here’s hoping the other 7 are on soon!

I refuse to acknowledge Daniel Craig as Bond.

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.

Yes, please:
A hole punch in the shape of a regular 351-style guitar pick:

Team Zissou Adidas

Adidas has a pretty spiffy Flash-based custom sneaker builder app at miadidas.com. I’ve wanted a pair of Team Zissou Adidas since I saw the movie, and now I can get a pair. Yay!

Mars Attacks Prints

admin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 00:33:07 +0000

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.

I posted this from the sky over Illinois somewhere.

Josefin Sans Std Light

admin — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:55:18 +0000

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.

El Vetica!

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

Excellent. I want one.

Cool Ties

Even though I haven’t really read Diesel Sweeties regularly in years, I’m still all about RED ROBOT WORLD DOMINATION. Now Red Robot #C-63 can help you dress up.

The same outfit makes a ton of other cool ties, as well. I especially like these two.

Tim Gunn on Superheroes

admin — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 20:05:32 +0000

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.

Pillow with an Arm Hole!

I’m not sure I like memory foam pillows, but a pillow with an arm hole is, like, total freakin’ genius.

Pot smoking and Olympic Snowboarders

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 07:24:33 +0000

Listening to Shaun White talk with his teammates before dropping in to the halfpipe tonight for his (unnecessary–he’d already won the gold medal) final run, made me wonder what the IOC policy on marijuana was. Yeah, they sounded like a bunch of stoners. Apparently, the USADA is cracking down this year, making all Olympic atheletes provide their precise whereabouts for a 60 minue window each day. Okay for some sports, but pinning snowboarders down to a schedule might be a little, well, ambitious.

The Olympics seems like they’re simultaneously getting less serious and taking themselves more seriously.

And Pot is a “performance enhancing” drug? Yeah. Totally.
