Thanks Brandon
How do I know this? Because Gizmondo told me. And now that I have posting rights you know, too. Basically modern-day Apple products look oddly similar to the Braun products of yesteryear. I’ve got nothing witty to say except “O rly?”
In other news, the iPhone calculator is basically a Braun calculator ripoff. Yay!
This is kind of cool, a site that lets you customize your Apple products with the color of your choice. They also have some other products on there but who the hell cares about those things.
My charming Crush 3G with matching earbuds and dock comes to a reasonable $225, once you buy the phone of course.
While my ever so masculine, magnificent, Divine-inspired Fusion iMac with Glacier accent logo and Jade mouse are but a modest $540. All in all very worth it.
Bonus points to anyone that creates the fugliest of fug combinations. Please send it on.
Thx 2 Kvn fo da 411. OMG WTF? LOL!
Marius has new artwork for sale starting today… jump on it! If I didn’t already have four paintings and a small gallery of posters I would get on that ish right now. I like to think that one day I will have a Valdes mural that encompases my apartment and makes my bitter, black heart start to turn warm.
I love spray butter. There, I admitted it. There’s something so great about spritzing your food with glistening, faux-butter laden with thousands of deadly chemicals that is so rewarding. There’s no such thing as too much, you can always spray a bit more on until you get that perfect, greasy, delicious texture.

So recently Parkay did a little makeover on their logo and packaging, evidenced above. I’m not sure why this is important to me, but like most food packaging makeovers I had to hold it and study it. I always wonder if consumers ever noticed or even care. No, they really don’t give a shit. I really don’t have much to say about it except if I were to describe it with adjectives it would be “swirly, and creamy.”
These are some cool little things I’ve spotted recently:
One of a kind printed journals from Yee-Haw
Be sure to check out the American Vice Presidential Wrestling Pandemonium on the Potomac poster. Please don’t sue me Yee-Haw, I know your images have a copyright and I’m beyond poor and potentially going to be unemployed.
Of course there’s always Hatch Show Print.
Hmmm… did they get rid of their official site?
For anyone that can’t get enough of ‘veti. I know what I’m getting Massimo this year.
If you are considering a holiday present for me I would like the snakeskin mini agenda wallet, or the champagne metallic wallet from whoMi.
Sometimes, in the name of rebranding, a company goes out on a limb and sometimes they just do something really stupid. They aren’t always the same thing but say hello to Electrasol Finish! who is guilty of the latter.
Enter a long-ass rant about dish washing liquid…
I would just like to point out that to date the post I have the most hits on is the picture of Pete Rose in his manties. Make of that what you will.
Second most popular is the Rambo/Guevera poster.
Weird.
This post has also created a new tag – Shameless Self Absorbed Moment. And yes, I plan to use that son of a bitch every single post. Carry on.
Can you believe I totally forgot about my blog? I can! I took the spring and summer to research my personal life and forgot about it until Grace reminded me about it a while back. Then I forgot about it again until today. So yeah, Catherine, I might go back to writing the blog for both of you.
I will work on it between work, freelance, my personal work that I’m trying to get out there and will be located on a top secret site (part of the project), writing some grants, looking into going back to teaching, searching for a new job, and trying to keep an active social calendar. But I’m dedicated to it again. Somewhat.
SVA will be offering a lecture by the world-famous design diva April Greiman on October 21st at 7p. The lecture is part of a retrospective of her work that will be open from October 20th – December 13th. There will be a reception on October 20th from 6-8p. Both events are open to the public.
I’m going to be front and center for the lecture because if you don’t know, Greimy and I are bff’s. I adopted her as my design diva bff after a portfolio review and a tantalizing email relationship that spanned 4 months. I even went back to see her and we had lunch at a delightful thai restaurant and I’m sure I had Pad Thai. She was wearing black. Then sadly I decided not to work there and moved to NYC instead, which is a brilliant decision as I review the tablecloth I just designed. No, seriously, a tablecloth. Sigh, recession.
Anyways, I’ll be chilling with my former-bff trying to make her my current bff. Um, and if you don’t know who she is then read here, or view some of her work on google images. Some people. Oh yeah, that subway station? Would have had the chance to work on it but it is nowhere near as special as my tablecloth. No sirree.
