One Thousand Words

Awesome reportage from Boston.com

Never fails...

One day...

I will take a photo as good as this.

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year is back on at the Natural History Museum and i've yet to go this year - looks like i'll be in for a treat thought.

(and once again to become insanely jealous of some 12 year old who has an amazing bit of kit and the opportunity to take a photo that gets selected for the junior exhibition).

Watership Drown

They've been around for a while but you've got to love the Bunny Suicides

Poor Bitch

I shit you not, this is a real dog.


Someone should call the god damn RSPCA or whatever the equivalent is in this monster's country.

Look at the poor little thing


It's a dog, not a camel or Ninja shitting turtle!

Poor, poor Cindy (snigger, snigger, finnar)

Gay Eggs Change

Gay Penguins

Trencher

German Mentalists with an awesome video

Been away

Apologies for the lack of stuff my dear reader, i've been away doing this...


That's getting Married...

and this...


That's hanging out in the South African Bush.

And this...

That's pike fishing.

And now i'm back in the room

Say it loud

Yet another thing that the internet was specifically made for - find plenty more at omnomnomnom.com

Cumolotagus

Take any text or URL, chuck it into Wordle and err, Wordleise it into a lovely cloud of copy. Like Mr Poe's corvid poem here.

There are 11 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Diesel does Dallas

Excellent take on an old idea from Diesel - find it here

Munched

Out the Dog House

Clever Boy!

Pachydermata

Lots of touching up but beautiful none the less - more here

The Dark Night

Genius.

Photo Fit

Apparently this is how i would have looked if i went to an American high school in 1970. Not really sure why it's here, apart from you can link of to some high street brands, but Yearbook Yourself is tres amusing.

Now i want an iPhone

I'm not a designer

But this made me laugh.

And similarly when you tell someone you're a copywriter they generally think you're some sort of lawyer.

Little People Project

Excellent on so many levels - all from the head Slinkachu

No tire kickers

Funny - assuming it's a real ad of course.

WO_BBL_YH_EAD

Thom gets all wobbly-headed on this exceptional JD/NO cover.

Fancy a Dip?

Well if you do, you can find it just outside Salisbury, Wiltshire.

Thanks Chris!

Blow up is a excellent site using the flickr api. Just add your flickr user name and see all your photos in full-screen glory.

skate - shot on red - 120 fps from opus magnum prod. on Vimeo.

The drugs are taking their toll

On the tube this morning i caught sight of this story over someone's shoulder. I couldn't see the picture of the troubled singer or the accompanying story, just the headline and the main picture.

Genius bit of image placement if you ask me.

Tea's Made

Parents with a sense of humour

Five Feet in Canada

Just look out for the San Juan Islands Coroner.

Rock-a-Bye Baby

Nicked from Nathan who nicked it from here who probably nicked it from somewhere else. So it goes.

Damn Funny though.

Crystal Ball

A bit of history and an interesting little look into what the immediate future could hold

Ha!

Honestly nicked from A Cup of Joe.

This Cartoon....

More fun here

The Wisdom of Men

This morning i went to the dentist at 9am. And at 10.30am i walked out with this Mo Fo in my hand.


I feel abused.

The Periodic Table of Videos

Continuing the science theme here's a great, albeit totally barmy, site from my old University.

Compelling viewing.

Nudibranch

These are not models but incredibly good photos of nudibranchs (Sea Slugs to you and me).

Beautiful eh?

More here

Output...

from this morning's 8.30 meeting.

Kip Flip

Straight to the top of my 'i want' list. Many more skate inspired designs here

Characters for an epic tale

I love this from the Cabanon Press - reminds me of Grayson Perry's Print for a Politician (below) i saw at the Tate St Ives a month or so ago, part of the Hugh Stoneman exhibition (i know, high brow or what?) - which is excellent.



You can't really see why it's so good here, but trust me it is.

Grafty Pilate Radio

Some nice work from the obviously very clever Yuri Suzuki - particularly the above (click on the image and then the quicktime) and the Lemon Light.

And if Yuri, or any of Yuri's friends are reading this, apologies for taking the piss out of your accent - your English is much better than my Japanese.

The Girl Effect

As the initial animation was playing i wasn't too convinced to be honest. For instance, if all 6 billion girls had a farm, who'd you sell the milk to? Man can only drink so much.

But at the end there is a bunch of statistics that put a lot of this ethos into perspective - definitely some interesting ideas there.

The male race of the developing world needs a massive kick up the arse - of that there is now doubt.

Nice site, shame about the song

Don't like the music but the video/site is nicely done and reet interactive

World of World of Warcraft

The Radioheads

Radiohead at Viccy Park last night was something special. Biggest gig i've been to in years (festivals aside) and the sound was as crisp, or even crisper, as if we we're in the back room of a pub.

This is what they played - don't blame me if it's inaccurate coz i was too drunk and having too much of a good time to take notes, so this came from some square on the interpipe:

‘15 Step’ ‘Bodysnatchers’ ‘All I Need’ ‘The National Anthem’ ‘Pyramid Song’ ‘Nude’ ‘Weird Fishes / Arpeggi’ ‘The Gloaming’ ‘Dollars & Cents’ ‘Faust Arp’ ‘There There’ ‘Just’ ‘Climbing Up The Walls’ ‘Reckoner’ ‘Everything In Its Right Place’ * ‘How To Disappear Completely’ ‘Jigsaw Falling Into Place’ - - - ‘Videotape’ ‘Airbag’ ‘Bangers & Mash’ ‘Planet Telex’ ‘The Tourist’ - - - ‘Cymbal Rush’ ‘You And Whose Army’ ‘Idioteque’

This is somewhat what it was like.

Size Matters

Lovely site from Nikon - puts everything into perspective.

Have you got beef wiv Josh Carter...

This was taken in Fair Oak. A not-as-gorgeous-as-it-used-to-be Metroplollage nestled in the very beautiful Hampshire countryside. It's where i grew up.

And people still ask me why i left and moved to London.

Eastleigh Gods

My Dad don't give a fuck!

The best punk song in the world - period!

Marx & Spencer

In Germany, Percy Pigs (of M&S fame) are called Fred Ferkel, coz Ferkel (pronounced Fucker) means Piglet.

B'Jesus!

Too good - see it all here and here

Marrku Lahdesmaki

Gorgeous work from Finland's Marrku Lahdesmaki

I want you to want me

More completely awesome work from Jonathon Harris and Sep Kamver - those of We Feel Fine, etc.

Can be seen at MOMA in NYC (I think)

Hommeophobe

Do not, repeat, do not throw things at the QOTSA main man

My Le Loup's connected to my Bowerbirds, my Bowerbirds connected to my Bon Iver, etc & so on

A fine bit of music geekery from Tune Glue

Disarming & Alarming

Long version of the promo for Channel 4's Disarming Britain season. Executed with characteristic aplomb.

Amy Stein

From the above's Domesticated series - very nice indeed.

Nom de pune

Surprised to see that shoe shop 'R. Soles' of Chelsea's Kings Road isn't on the list.


There's another 49 of them here - cheers Nath!

Big Ideas (don't get any)

As the man says...

"Radiohead held an online contest to remix "Nude" from their album - "In Rainbows" This was quite a difficult task for everybody that entered, as Nude is in 6/8 timing, and 63bpm. Most music that's played in clubs is around 120bpm and usually 4/4 timing. It's pretty difficult to seamlessly mix a waltz beat into a DJ set.

This resulted in lots of generic entries consisting of a typical 4/4 beat, but with arbitrary clips from "Nude" thrown in so that they qualified for the contest.

Thom Yorke joked at the ridiculousness of it in an interview for NPR radio, hinting that they set the competition to find out how people would approach such a challenging task.

I decided to take the piss a bit, as the contest seemed to be in that spirit.

Based on the lyric (and alternate title) "Big Ideas: Don't get any" I grouped together a collection of old redundant hardware, and placed them in a situation where they're trying their best to do something that they're not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there.

It doesn't sound great, as it's not supposed to."


Insanely creative.

I Heart Muxtape

Upload a bunch of MP3's and share them with your mates old school style.



Here's my first beatfest.

Not exactly High-Brow...

... but pretty much what the Internet was made for.
