School lunches from around the world.

I’m a big fan of Sebastien Tellier and his sexy pop, this film clip is particularly special. The hot dogs worry me though.

This is a great photo essay by Good, detailing the inside of people’s fridges. Very revealing.

Mine would be many condiments and either nothing else or heaps of fresh veg and meat (oh, and wine).

Another great reason to move to Brooklyn! I wish my apartment had this!

Hospital Food.
There is a new blog dedicated to the subject. Eww.

This is disgusting. I think ‘Sweet Sue’ seriously needs to re-think this one.

“Richard Galpin’s complex art works are derived from the artist’s own photographs of chaotic cityscapes. Using only a scalpel Galpin intricately scores and peels away the emulsion from the surface of the photograph to produce a radical revision of the urban form.” 

Start time, lunch time and home time. 
I think the 5pm home time is a little optimistic though…

The Wallstreet Journal, recently published an article on Comic Sans and its creator, which I found interesting as it revealed a little bit more about how it came to be.

I think the idea behind Comic Sans is interesting and appropriate, but factors in its execution have caused it to become a painful presence.

To me it feels half way between an edgy comic book font and a children’s style typeface, making for an uncomfortable balance. 

The name Comic Sans indicates it’s appropriate for general use, the ’sans’ makes it much more serious than it ever needed to be. If it was called Comic Book, as originally suggested I don’t think its use would be quite as widespread because the name points to a less conventional and more child-like use, making it seem inappropriate for use in things like business emails or street signs.

Its inclusion in Windows 98 I think was key to its widespread use, as within the standard supplied fonts it was the only softer, handwritten style display typeface. People have misappropriated its use - perhaps they didn’t know what to do with the serif and sans serifs - or just wanted something different and only had one obvious option.

This stuff is unreal, it all looks so easy and natural, but at the same time so not.

I just got a bike and have a hard enough time going slow and staying on the footpath!

This is one of my favourite film moments – the business card scene from American Pshyco.

This is perhaps the crappest business card (and sell in) I have ever seen.

A pretty good reason not to enter design competitions. 

These are so cute!

Kacie Kinzer in New York has created tweenbots

human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal. 

I’d help it out.

Have seen a few really nice hand drawn animated GIFs lately.
This is my favourite.

And this one is cool, if not a little freaky.

Old school ones make me laugh a little.

A great flickr set.
