It's My Anniversary!

Censorship Towel

And someone add this as their Facebook profile pic.
Pretty please?

P.S. This will probably only work if you are light skinned...yeah. Totally unfair.

TREEFORT!

This one's for you loopy.

Want to go camping, but afraid of bugs, snakes, or bears? Pitch your tent in the air, above the forest floor and away from critters and potential predators, with Tentsile, “the world’s most versatile tent.” The portable tent-hammock hybrid can be used in nearly any environment, anchored to trees in the heart of a forest, hovering over shifting beach sands, pitched above the plains for a brief respite on a safari, or even suspended over disaster and flood zones

This thing sounds crazy. It's a cross between a hammock and a treefort, but it also can stand alone with a three pole support system. Different sizes hold 2-3 people up to a 12 person monster! I wonder how you split this bad boy up for when your backpacking. Dib's on the poles!

Decpticon Engagement Ring.. aka are you trying to tell me something?

Still pretty awesome tho!

The setting of this ring was custom made for a customer using our 3Design CAD CAM software and cast in 14k white gold.

If you ask me, she should take a REAL good look at the fiance! You don't wanna get stuck changing oil diapers later on...

Yo momma is a shitty Graphic Designer!! BOO-YA!

Don't know why it took me so long to post this. I have literally read each of these like, 18,000 times - and repeated them at the most awkward places. (i.e. work, home, meetings, bathroom, to the boss).

Put your neighbor to shame with these Yo Momma's a Shitty Designer printable notepads. The file is 8.5x11 without bleed so print away on any standard printer and then just tear the sheet in half. 

Best one imo? Yo momma's so fat, she thought RGB was a sandwich!
Or .. Yo momma's so lo-res, she can't even save for web!

Btw, there is a call for entries! You got a good one? Share it!

Colour Lovers, Social Media for, well... Color Lovers!

Ever have that feeling? When you are redesigning a website, and nothing is looking good and you just start to HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT? No? Maybe it's just me.

But I thought I would share some fun linkage for awesome color inspiration at ColourLovers! Users create color palates and share with the group their creations. Sure, it sounds like another Social Media experiment gone awry, but it has a great section of Website Color Trends!

And there goes another 4 hours of my life gone!

While I'm at it, there's also Color Schemer - a palette generator, and Design Seeds - PREEEEETY.

Hey Girl, I heard it's Valentine's Day!

A Bunch of Crock Posters - heh

Sharply Clever AND Political. Me likey.

Artist Statement From Under Consideration:

Last fall, I began working on a satirical exhibit called A Bunch of Crock. It was a response to the current public discourse and the political landscape in the US. Being a Pakistani immigrant living in Arizona, the last election cycle and the general anti-immigrant rhetoric prevalent at that time was particularly alarming. Going through various campaign ads, I almost felt like the jokes were already written and all I had to do was find a nice bow to put on them.

Displayed in a Phoenix Gallery Dec 2010 - Jan 2011.

More posters where that came from!

MegaShark - DEATH IN THE SKIES! (infographic)

Has anyone seen this?:

From the "worstest" movie ever made! Seriously, being the stupid movies lover that I am, I had to watch Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (don't judge! It had Sharks fighting Octopuses... staring the best teeny-bop singer turned actress: Deborah Gibson!! Seriously, how can you turn away?).

The internets were abuzz over that show stopping scene! In fact, they created an infographic over the staggering physics needed for a MEGA shark to LEAP into the air with enough force to SNATCH and EAT an unsuspecting passenger airplane - OUT OF THE AIR!!! Apparently Mr. Mega Shark had to be traveling at 702 Mph to complete that feat!

Oh to be a passenger looking out the window into the gullet of a Mega Shark.
Thanks to Brian for the infographic reminiscing!

Buying Rabbit on Amazon Makes Bunnies Weep....

Check out this listing on Amazon for Fresh Whole Rabbit.

$43.50? It's a steal!

 Then, check out the other customer images:

Then read the comments like this one:

How many weekends have I spent, in the loincloth, knife clenched in my teeth, running through the fields trying to find a rabbit? (A bunch, trust me on this, a bunch.) All so I can have something to sacrifice on the altar once I get to the cave.

Now, with this, home, fix a cocktail, go through the day's mail, finish my drink and drive over to the cave, yank this carcass out of the box and offer this at the feet of my dark lord and master, boom, done. I'm happy, my dark lord and master is happy, everybody wins.

What a time saver. 

And this one:

I ordered one of these Fresh "Whole" Rabbits, but when it arrived its head, fur and insides were missing. Not exactly whole, I'd say! Maybe it was just damaged during shipping, but I won't be buying another one. I mean - without the long ears, how do I know it even WAS a rabbit? It was the same size and shape as a cat...not that I've seen a cat with its head, fur and insides missing. I mean, not like really close or anything.

On the plus side, it was delicious with a tall, cold glass of Tuscan Milk, so I give it three stars. That's three WHOLE stars, BTW.

And one titled: "Kill the Wabbit"

I do love me the internet. Here's the link again. via (non vegan) Jenny!

Google Jules Verne!

Today's Google Homepage!

Using CSS3, Google shows us what you'll find... 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea!

Today is Jules Verne's 183rd birthday. Live his dream by diving to the deepest bowels of the ocean using the joystick on the right.

Hopefully I'll be learning some of this in my HTML5/CSS3 Class this semester!

Sometimes it's the little things in life.

Campy Blendy Goodness!

It's too complicated to explain how I came across this, but it is amazing. Mixing together my two favorite things Isaiah Mustafa (well, close enough) and destruction. See all the videos here. Or on Youtube here.

I'm also partial to the glowstick episode, check it out here!
