Best $5 you’ll ever spend!
The Walkmen have just released their next album, for the low, low price of only $5. you get a total of 14 tracks in all…. AND!!!!! For every record sold, $5 will be donated to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. What a noble act for this incredible band!
So please visit here to get your album and help this cause for only the next three weeks.
Here is why America is Eff’d… graphically that is.
I’m not one who likes to regurgitate other blogs, especially design ones, but I couldn’t resist. I stumbled upon (actually I go here every freakin’ day) this video post on ISO50’s blog on design. He usually posts interesting things from ffffound.com and wicked tunes and such, but this video is priceless. It kinda sums up what’s wrong with design, not only in America but here in Canada too.
I don’t have much info on this, but apparently it’s a trailer from an upcoming series called The Draplin Project featuring a guy named Aaron Draplin. - ISO50
I’m glad there is more of this going on.
Similarly, the genius behind the documentary Helvetica, Gary Hustwit, is making a new film titled, Objectified,
my forthcoming documentary feature about industrial design. It’s about the manufactured objects we surround ourselves with, and the people who make them. It’s about the world of creativity behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets, featuring some of the world’s most influential industrial designers. It’s also about consumerism, sustainability, and identity. - Gary Hustwit
Just wanna plug this website I designed a little while ago… and hope to boost its raiting on google in the process.
I designed this site for the kick ass director, J.B. Sugar, who recently directed and wrote for jPod, Douglas Copeland’s novel inspired show for the CBC. So take a peek at jbsugar.net and let me know what you think…
So I was up late the other night listening to Alive 2007 by Daft Punk to keep me inspired as I was designing and went to daftpunk.com. What I found there is so effing cool. just a short, vert creepy, very Kubrick clip… later I found out its a trailer to a movie about the quest for two robots (the members of Daft Punk) to become human. I hope the film is as good as the trailer…
