True stories

As a coworker has it, "This is frigg'n hilarious. It's funny because it's true." And sad for the same reason: Business guys on business trips. (tx karen)

1 bedroom apartment for rent

Cardon Webb finds flyers posted around the city and redesigns them for effect. The one above is so clever. Unfortunately the flash interface leaves a bit to be desired . . .

Animator

Pages and pages of sweet gif animations.

And that᾿s the way it was

My father watches the evening news every night. At the appointed hour, he turns the television on, whether before, during, or after dinner.

Back to the feature

Wale's got a new mixtape, which has been in heavy rotation on my ipod this past week (along with Kid Cudi's A kid named Cudi). Right now, I'm listening to some "vintage" Britney Spears, tho...

Sketchy characters

For a while I was obsessed with The Wire. I was sad to see it end, even if I found the final season a bit of a letdown (though not entirely). Since then I haven't had much opportunity to relive it, which is why I was excited to find these illustrations by c. blake hicks.

Film in the blanks

Film the blanks takes modern movie posters and reduces them to their basic elements. A bit of competition brews as people try to identify the films. Some are easier than others.

Bollywood posters in Bangalore

Matt Lee takes photos of the film posters around Bangalore. A friend of mine and I were just talking about how he'd love to get one of the hand-painted Bollywood posters from the 70s to frame and hang in his apartment.
