Wow.



I'm going to bookmark this. I suspect it may come in handy some day if the web design business tanks again.

I love these kinds of art projects

You've gotta love the concept.



Since this guy can't afford a Tempur-Pedic bed, and the stingy Tempur-Pedic folks will only give him one sample of Tempur-Pedic foam, he's asking kind souls to request foam samples and send 'em to him. He's going to create his own "ghetto Tempur-Pedic® bed." And when he's done with that, he's going to make "Fancy Memory Foam Mouse Beds."

Okay. Call me paranoid.



But this just CAN'T be good for you.



Block your ears to hear better on Japan's new bone phone
Yaaaaaaaay!



They're EXACTLY like I pictured 'em!

Bradley, you ROCK for finding this.



Qrio in action

(Note: It's a movie, and it has sound. But it's worth every second of download time.)



And a few more Qrio links:

This is just f---ing scary.



Man. The internet is definitely a haven for scary freaks. Sure, maybe he's not a cannibal, but wanting to choose the mates of his future children is pretty damned frightening.

My advice: Scan the text before you look at the pictures. See if the guy lives up to your expectations.



For fans of Red Meat comics.



This rocks. Now I just have to think of something clever to say...



Build Your Own Meat
Thank you, Steelbuddha. You're ace!



I nabbed this link off Steelbuddha's blog. This cover letter site, along with my Chinese dinner leftovers, have made my day chock full of wonderfulness.

A Valentine for Jonerthun.



FYI - this site has some of the funniest twisted valentines I've seen:



We love you, yes you.

Yay!



The baby made it through the operation. At first I was mesmerized by this story because it was so bizarre. But over the past few days, I've been pulling for the little one. Here's hoping everything turns out well.



Stunning what doctors can do these days.

Art? Maybe. But they're incredibly cool.



This is a link from my weekly PrintCritic newsletter. It's from a recent fine art exhibit of Neil Powell, a designer, formerly at Fallon's Duffy Design. I love the illustration style. (Though the first one is a bit too reminiscent of the whole Vanishing Twin thing.) Anyway, these are acrylics on wood or mixed media on canvas. Enjoy.



(Note: You'll need Adobe Acrobat reader to see the link, since it's a PDF.)

Oh, my heavens.



Chris, if you thought the vanishing twin story was disturbing, this is going to blow your mind.



Baby born with 2nd head slated for surgery



WARNING: There IS a picture, and you'll see it as soon as you click on the link above. So if you don't want to see a baby with two heads, don't click the link. Just move along and get on with your day. Have a cup of tea or something instead. Thank you.



This one's for you, czelticgirl.

I'm only surprised that it didn't happen sooner.

I THOUGHT that's what I saw!



And I don't buy that it was a "costume malfunction."



Janet Jackson's breast exposed during halftime show
Quite interesting.



I love my "Doors of Perception" newsletter. This time 'round they included this little nugget:



CYBERHYPOCHONDRIA

The Database of Adverse Events Related to the Internet (DAERI) is less shocking than we had hoped. It's an online form for the collection of case descriptions of patients who have been harmed, psychologically or physically, by misinformation on the Internet -- but the results are not yet online. We did learn for the first time about "cyberhypochondria" -- a conditon afflicting patients who consult their physicians recurrently or needlessly due to Internet-searches. We defintely have it.



DAERI - Database for Adverse Events Related to the Internet
Ugh. This man is SUCH a putz.



A perfect example of, "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
