I love these farm animals and their owners portraits by Yann Arthus-Bertrand so much. He’s a great photographer, but these subjects are great. Like the ass on this Belgian Blue mutant bull. I also adore this half-shaved sheep. If I had sheep, I would shave them like this all the time. They have all the [...]
For anyone who has been wondering, updating, or checking in, I am sorry. My life has been a little insane for the past few weeks, and this blog has been a low priority unfortunately. It looks like things are getting bette though, and I may have more time. I am hoping so… It doesn’t help [...]
Sprint’s “Locker Room” commercial is by far the best of the Super Bowl ads this year. Unexpected, violent, hilarious. Oh yeah, and this Bud Light one, “On the Roof” stars my friend, and avid chrisdiclerico.com reader, Matt Corboy. He was on The Shield for one season, and now he hosts a new Vegas poker show [...]
This CG animation of massive sharks in the water and a helicopter chasing them is absolutely incredible. The guys at Flowline are no joke I guess.
Ever wonder how good of a racecar driver you are right after you play a good round of Gran Turismo? Ever wonder how realistic the Laguna Seca racetrack is in that game? Well, so did Jeremy Clarkson from the ridiculously great car show Top Gear, that we’ve written about before. He played the Laguna Seca [...]
This photo gallery of Mexico City from the air is stunning. I can’t help but think how incredible tilt-shift techniques would make this city look. [via the link collection.]
I don’t know what to make of this video called “Birds”. You’ll either love it, or hate it, or be indifferent about it. [via the link collection.]
Remember 18 year old Tyson Ibele? (I wrote about him back in November…) Well, it looks like he’s getting even better at this “animation thing”, and this animated spec ad for Nike starring sporty robots is a fantastic reminder of his talent. He is going to be really, really big. I am a fan already. [...]
Until a few weeks ago, all I knew about Dubai was the Palm Islands (that I saw constructed on the Discovery Channel) and the Burj Al Arab hotel where Agassi and Federrer played tennis. I knew that the city was nearly brand new, chocked full of oil money, and that’s about it. Now, things are [...]
Origami is the Japanese art of paper-folding. Check out this gallery of the sickest origami art you’ve ever seen. I don’t know if they’re all made by the same person or not, because the descriptions are all in Japanese. If anyone here can read/understand Kanji, a translation effort would be much appreciated. And don’t go [...]
Chris has talked about how stupid the RIAA is in a previous post (One of my all time favorite posts). I, too, hate the RIAA (The Recording Industry Association of America), and I find a small degree of justification for my music thievery every time they turn up in the news with some new stupid [...]
Man oh man, I love this so much it hurts. I’m prefacing it that if you aren’t from NY/NJ and more specifically the outer-boroughs it may lose something in the translation. (Note: language not appropriate for work) This 12 year old (?) kid perfectly embodies the life of a Guido From the clubs to [...]
Well, the time is finally here for me to move on. When I say “move on”, I really mean MOVE ON. I have quit my job and am moving to Dubai in the UAE in 2 weeks (in case you haven’t already heard). I’ll be there from 6 months to a year working on the [...]
Ron Burgundy, anchorman, auditions for ESPN, and it’s too fucking funny. This clip is on the DVD of Anchorman, but a lot of people have never seen it. Enjoy. He was right by the way, “financial and cultural disaster.” [via manny.]
Family Guy is, of course, one of my favorite shows of all time. This clip of Stewie as a bookie is one of the funniest reasons why. I can’t stop watching and laughing at this. God, I love this show. [via smit.]
Emerald Nuts is running a bizarre but fantastic ad campaign on TV and on the web. Basically they create completely insane phrases with words that start with the letters E-M-E-R-A-L-D–N-U-T-S. For example, “Eagle-eyed Machete Enthusiasts Recognize A Little Druid Networking Under The Stairs… Even Druids love nuts.” Then, they make a commercial out of the [...]
Little Fella is yet another excellent little animation from the geniuses at tokyoplastic. You really should watch this. [via screenhead.]
These new VW GTI ads are fantastic. Perfectly executed “Unpimp My Ride” promos. You have to watch these. [I forgot where I first saw these.]
Let me just take a quick second to thank everyone for their attendance, compliments, love, and support last night at my official going away party. It is the biggest compliment in the world for a huge group of my friends from different parts of my life to get together and get along and dance and [...]
I am selling my 2001 Volkswagen GTI VR6. I love it so much, and I take great care of it, but I am moving to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates for work very soon. I am the original owner. The car only has 19,111 miles on it and it in excellent mechanical condition. I [...]
Jason McElwing is a Special Education student at Greece Athena High School in Rochester, NY. He is the basketball team’s manager, and is loved by all that know him. Jason’s been on the team for two years, and helps out the coach and players in any way he is able to. For the last game [...]
