ProMouse Beltbuckle

So last night I spontaniously came up with this idea, and made an instructable for it.
Got a broken Apple ProMouse? Need to keep your pants up?
You're in luck!

laser etched macbookpro

I had the pleasure of tagging along with Eddie and Nick last night to watch Leah Culver laser etch her brand new MacbookPro, over at Squid Labs. She was able to cover the cost of the new laptop by collecting donations from the featured companies in the picture above.

Sensacional! at YBCA

Nov 18, 2006–Mar 4, 2007
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts - SF
in association with Sensacional! the book

Sensacional! Mexican Street Graphics celebrates the vernacular design of the comic books, flyers, posters and signs common in Mexico, where a rough, idiosyncratic beauty arises from a mom-and-pop street economy. The artisans are the sign-painting, lithographic tradespeople who work off the high-art grid, and serve as de facto ad agencies for auto repair shops, food vendors, and wrestling events. Though these artists may not concern themselves with visual art trends, their work has enormous significance: in public environments increasingly monopolized by corporate controlled and mechanically produced imagery, these artists assert a brilliant graphic design presence that’s hand-made, individualistic, and defiantly human. Organized by Trilce Ediciones, an independent publishing house based in Mexico City.

Book of the month

"Flowers" is the name of this virtual flip book by Kai Juneman. It's another collection of pictures of road signs, but with a twist. Only the backsides of the signs are shown, which creates a different contextual perspective with what's in the background.

Look out web2.0, here comes CBS

Saw this at the bus stop this morning....




"This is television...... now?" I don't get it. Is CBS saying that I should be watching CSI on a
233MHz G3 Wallstreet with 64MB of RAM from 1999? Good luck with that. The other thing I found ridiculous about this poster, is that nowhere does it show the URL for the site. When I did a search for Innertube, the CBS site only came up once on the first sveral pages. It's not innertube.com or innertube.net and it's not the innertube, a third party Mac application used to make watching YouTube(getting sued by Utube) prettier. Unfortunatly stupidtube.com has been taken.

Signs of Life Book Launch Party

Signs of Life is a moving collection of photos of the hand-made signs that appeared in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast following Hurricane Katrina. Profits from sales of the book will go to two organizations still working in the area:
Common Ground Relief and Hands On Network.

My friends in the Hungry March Band will be providing the entertainment for the night.

November 15th at Galapagos, in Williamsburg, NY.
