My boss is playing the new Ben Folds + Regina Spektor song. It’s freakin amazing. I’m soooo surprised! Sooo bouncy and catchy!
Umm, please share with the world?
YES!!! I had no idea that there was any such song that existed outside of playing two songs by each person at the same time.

“From the first moment of the film, my kids were bombarded with leftist propaganda about the evils of mankind. It’s a shame, too, because the robot had promise. The story was just awful, however.”

- Shannen Coffin (via Ecorazzi
She must. be. joking. Really? Leftist propaganda? I really do hope she and others like her mend their thinking before the polar ice caps have melted and the trash situation in her own country mimics the horrible one in Naples.

Inhabitat » MERRELL GATHERER COAT: Stuff your jacket to keep warm

Ever wished that you could put in just a bit more insulation in your jacket? That’s the idea behind the really stylish and cool looking Gatherer Jacket by Merrell. The translucent jacket comes as a shell with no insulation, but is equipped with a number of zippers throughout its body where the wearer stuff the jacket with whatever insulation material is on hand. Shredded paper, pine needles, fallen leaves or yesterday’s newspaper - the Gatherer offers endless ways to keep warm with some creative recycling of found objects.

13 typefaces every graphic designer needs

13 typefaces every graphic designer needs:

A basic list with all the typefaces that you’d expect (plus a couple other modern favorites like Gotham) but still, a great set of standards for beginners. If every “lost dog” poster were set in Univers extra black, I know I’d be more motivated to look for that dog.

WALL-E: Pixar's Biggest Gamble - TIME: Edit (06.24): With the nearly unanimous critical acclaim and a profit of $62.5 million in three days, I’m pretty sure this is no longer a “gamble”.

Firefox 3 brings Ugliness to the Mac

Firefox 3 brings Ugliness to the Mac:

Ugliness indeed. I’ve always been a Safari (+ Stand) user and haven’t been given a compelling reason to switch now. Everything else just feels out of place.

marco:

I agree. I’m disappointed by Firefox 3’s “improved” OS X interface. It’s still not using native controls — it just tries even harder to fake them (and fails even harder).
And I don’t know what they were thinking with the “awesome bar”. It’s confusing at best. So far, it has only hindered me. It’s a shame that so many programmers think that shoving more unnecessary interface elements into something is a “feature”.
