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:

I posted this from the sky over Illinois somewhere.

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.

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

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.

Parkour

Parkour is a crazy amazing type of urban running/jumping/kung fu. It’s been around for a while, basically invented in the 90s by a couple of french brothers. One of them even made a couple of pretty sweet movies featuring it. (I’m hoping the sequel is as good as the first one, anyway.) This amazing stop motion/flip book captures the essence of the sport in a startling and neat way:
