Every Sunday morning millions of Americans awake in a pool of their own sick asking the same question. Not, “Why do I do this to myself?” but, “Why is science wasting all that time on cancer when they haven’t cured the hangover yet?”
Noted for the weekend.
An interesting infographic I ran into while doing research for a project. Amazing and educational, yay!
Dwight Schrute ladies and gentlemen.
Gotta see this – “Religulous” by Bill Maher
From this week’s Sunday Type on the origins of the question mark:
No one is quite sure how the present form came to be. Some believe that It originated from the Latin abbreviation for question, Qo, where the Q was written above the o. There are numerous other theories, ranging from the downright silly (the cats tail) to the more plausible, like the question mark evolving from an inverted form of the semicolon. Interestingly, the semicolon [U+003B] is used in Greek as a question mark.
On that note, enjoy Archer’s question mark in all it’s glory. I think it’s beautiful.
Stupid gorgeous dog face. (here’s a couple more)
4. Shoot from Slightly Below Your Subject’s Eyeline
One thing I noticed about George was that during the event he always seemed to be bending his knees slightly. He wasn’t that tall so I asked about it. He told me that he found that shooting from slightly below a person’s eyeline was something that he found to be quite flattering for most people. He used this both with shots where a subject was standing or sitting.
This is really simple but clever, good advice!
Clubbing.
Chasing growth as an end in itself makes it all too easy to give up optimizing for today: “When we break 5 million dollars, we’ll start working less”, “when we’re 50 people, we’ll start giving more back to open source”. Bah. Growth begets growth and you’ll end up chasing even bigger numbers and never have the time to do what you really want.
Here we are again with 37S – I think this article pretty much sims it up for me. I know this will sound really strange, especially in the context of business but – it’s not about money. If you make money the priority of your company you are doing it wrong. Money is just one kind of compensation you get for offering services, and those services should be your priority – always.
So fuck a money, concentrate on enjoying life and doing things that make you happy, you’ll be OK.
You can think of it as Twitter for conversations, except the talk is centered around the topic, instead of the individual participants. Or, you can think of it as microforums – what Twitter is to blogs, Speeka is for forums. If you prefer chatting, you can think of Speeka as an open chat remembering everything that was said.
I really like the concept and I think this is gonna be big.
[…] And let me tell you — as someone who thought yesterday was Friday and went out and got shit-hammered — I lost my shoes.
Geekologie from “Sobrietol Reduces Level Of Blood Alcohol, Fun“ post. I love geekologie.
Huzzaaah!
Long day…
OK, I just have to say something about this, it’s stronger than me. People know I have been a very very big evangelist of skipping the photoshop mockup and going straight to xHTML/CSS, but I have learned to know better. I do client work, and 37S don’t (anymore). That’s the main difference, but a shitload of people who are designers and are listening to these guys preach (sorry for the harsh word, but a lot of people are taking things these (brilliant) people say and write literally) will immediately jump on the bandwagon and start practicing it. Please don’t do it. If you are a designer you are responsible for every little detail. 37S have a style they simply reuse across all their apps so it is logical for them to ditch photoshop – it doesn’t necessarily mean you should too. There is a lot of stuff you can learn from them (I really think they are an awesome company), but this is one thing I just don’t agree with when it comes to design work.
Jovana on the square.
Vyoopoint was designed from real world experience so that uploading, presenting and tracking comments on a 25 frame storyboard, or a 12 screen website design sequence would be a joy for both the creator and client.
This seems very promising.
This is soooo awesome. I love Russian communist megalomaniacs.
Returnr has been created for those occasions when you need some new music, but don’t know what it is. If you’ve ever gone to download music or walked into a record shop and frozen because you don’t know what to look for, then returnr is for you.
Works pretty good for my quick tests, only music available at the moment, but seems this will be quite a useful site as I always seem to be on the lookout for some new tunes these days.
Update: As it turns out, this is fake.
One of South America’s few remaining uncontacted indigenous tribes has been spotted and photographed on the border between Brazil and Peru. […] More than half the world’s 100 uncontacted tribes live in Brazil or Peru, Survival International says.
I think this is totally amazing. I mean the sole fact of knowing that there are people that are living on this planet without any contact with any type of modern life products and people is simply mind blowing.
I have finally decided to go and take the plunge – buy a proper camera. A DSLR of course, and the only thing that is uncertain is the choice between the two – a Nikon D40 or Canon EOS 400D.
First of all, talking to people didn’t help. At first it kind of helped, but then it messed everything up so bad that it canceled out the first help it provided. Nikon vs. Canon is a never-ending battle, and since both of these cameras are good choices it comes down to details and nitpicking.
Nikon has got a better kit lens (I’d have to buy one extra if I went with the 400D), better ergonomics and a better menu, and also – supposedly it’s better for flash photography – something important to me since I will be doing lots of that at concerts. On the other hand, Canon, has 10 MP (while Nikon has got only 6) and 9 focusing points versus Nikons poor 3, and – it can autofocus better and do it without autofocusing lenses.
The way things are looking now, I’m gonna go with the Nikon D40 and I certainly hope something won’t change my mind until tomorrow when I am supposed to go and get it.
I can totally see this site becoming a damn photoblog. :)
