I found this fun website (actually Rachael did… thx Rach!) that lets you create a virtual you. This is what I made…. head on over to Meez to make your own virtual you!

Edit: Btw… the animation is more fun when your listening to the Gorillaz :)

Ikea deskAfter seeing this guys workstation, I REALLY want this desk. Although for $950 bucks from Ikea Canada, im sure I could figure out better uses for that money.  But when I get a computer system worthy enough (and have some "extra" cash) I'm definately going to use this desk to adorn my workspace.  

Whats so special about this desk?  Well nothing (at first glance) but it has electrical height adjustment at the touch of a button!  Basically if you want to work sitting or standing, the choice is truely yours.  Awsome.

Okay Microsoft. Ditch the dinosaurs and start pitching ad’s like these and maybe you’ll start to win back some of those students your scaring away to join the rebellion (open source!).

I bet that headline caught your attention. It actually WASN’T a ploy just to get you to read this post. I actually do have a link to a bouncing boob (sorry breasts) simulator! This is a really cool link on two fronts; 1) The obvious… bouncing boobs BUT 2) It’s also an amazing use of flash! The intro is really well done, and the fact that they figured out how to render 3D bouncing boobs is beyond me! And just to show you how much i care….. i’m going to put the link after the break! muhahahaha!

Website lets you dress a stranger!

Okay this is just weird. But for some reason I’m just sitting here thinking, “Why didn’t I think of that?!”. Basically some dude named Kevin asks for suggestions on what he should wear for specific occasions (going to work, going shopping, going to the gym etc etc) and everyone gets to pick items from his wardrobe and he wears what people vote for. If i had more clothes I would TOTALLY be down with having people dress me :)

Fantastic Illustrator

Jay Illustration

Arguably one of my absolute favorite illustrators. Jason Scott from AppleOptionShift is an Adobe Illustrator master! Go and check out the site, and let me know in the comments which one is your favorite. The bar fly with the pint of Guiness pictured above is by far my favorite!

(Full disclosure: This IS a shameless plug. Jason is actually my best friend. That being said, he is STILL a fantastic illustrator.)

(I’ve also added AppleOptionShift.org to my blogroll so this will hopefully encourage Jason to start UPDATING his website) :)

Okay, after viewing this photo essay i REALLY want to work for Google. I would also like to figure out why Google is the one huge corporation that seems to have a “best friend” type of feel to it. They’re not big and scary. They’re big and cuddly! :)

Check it out here.



One of the best quotes ever!

I was just flipping throught the newest issue of Maxim with Kristen Bell (of Veronica Mars fame), and came across one of the best quotes I had ever heard (or read as the case may be). When discussing about how much trouble it is to look so much younger than her age (she’s 25) and that people are constantly calling her “cute”. She had this to say:

I’m not fucking, cute you fucking fuck! I am a women and I am voluptuous!

Brilliant! Btw, she’s right and wrong. She’s cute but in a hot, voluptuous way (see the spread for yourself if you don’t believe me).
