World Wide Web

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

Here are some links I’ve been meaning to post over the last week or so, everything from wearing meat on your head to the construction of the interweb.

Ok first up is some real meat heads, check out the efforts of the meat head community gallery at ‘Hats of meat’.

Secondly, whilst putting together a leaving card for a Swedish colleague last week I was directed to the Swearsaurus (NSFW Ads), which is fairly hardcore granted - but as you imagine can be very amusing when looking for that perfect goodbye message in Swedish!

Have you been playing the highly addictive flash game Line Rider recently? Well here is a video demonstrating what I suspect to be untrue skills.

Lastly did you know that 95% of webdesign is typography?

Map Wednesday

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

I really like the illustration work Olaf hajek, especially the maps - They remind me of the maps you are given at theme parks, and also the tea towels your mum used to buy when you went on holiday to places like the Isle of wight!

Also on the map theme, Iain here pointed out the quality of Microsoft live local this morning, here’s a nice view of the Biscuit building.

…we’re famous!

Well sort of, it seems that nic and situl managed to get into creative arts magazine. I don’t buy it myself, but it was left on the coffee desk at work. Nic manages to get in on a couple of photos at AllOfUs and Situls in there for that swarm project he did for his degree at university.

Just stumbled across Lamarde’s Flickr account, a very impressive archive of Tobacco advertising prints from 1910 - 1989, great typography and illustration.

NO DANCING BEFORE 19.24

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

Simon here sent an email round yesterday inviting us all to a mobile clubbing event at Liverpool St tube station last night, the invitation was simply ‘TONIGHT, Liverpool Street Station, 11 October 2006 19:24′.

I passed up the opportunity this time, but it looks like some people made it down there - have a look at this flickr set from last night, looks mental!

Designer Products

Monday, October 9th, 2006

theres something very nice about the transition of seemingly mundane throway object to highly desirable designer product by Maxim Velcovsky.

This concept applied to fecal matter by Tobias Wong,
though I dont know about the highly desirable end aspect.

Sparkling Shit
Pure silver passes straight through the body
and ends up in your stool - resulting in sparkly shit !
