help the police

This, ladies and gentleman, is how you introduce your young children to great music, like NWA, which might not be perfectly appropriate at their young and tender age. Enjoy the real-time censoring of “Help the Police.”

petra picts preview

Petra was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it. In fact, I recommend over Cairo and the Pyramids, but mostly because the people are so much better than those money-grubbing, tourist-swindling Egyptians. I took over 600 photos and have been selecting, correcting, rating, etc for the last few days. I don’t have good Flickr access right […]

new photos on flickr

So I’m little buzzed at Mike’s house and have uploaded nearly 200 photos. The most important of which are these new ones from Jordan and Petra.

I’ve also made a set for the fake tilt-shift shots and the long exposures shots, both of which you’ve seen before in regular blog posts. There’s also a new smallish […]

hammer and coop

More near-perfect advertising from Mini Copper. Hammer and Coop is a strange Knight Rider spoof starring a guy with a mustache who kicks a lot and Mini Cooper called “Coop.” The short episodes have a really stunningly high production value, plus the scripts are funny, and the car is awesome.
(You might remember the CCC or […]

moleskin city notebooks

I absolutely love these new moleskin city notebooks. They’ve created fantastically useful city guides by adding maps, loose notes, reusable stickies, and tons of blank pages into the standard, beautiful moleskin format. They’re available for only a select set of cities right now (Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Prague, Rome, Wien, […]

Capoiera v. B-Boy

I’m not the only BMoA (Big Man of Astoria) traveling around and getting into funny adventures around the world. Our good friend Rossi recently made himself a legend in Cape Town and a series of emails tells the tale better than I ever could.
——– from Rossi, day 1 ———–
Yeah I’m in South Africa, I have […]

2-direction slide

I’ve had a crazy couple of weeks, this last one especially, and blogging has suffered. I usually make myself drafts in GMail of things I want to blog about, but I haven’t had a chance to go back for over a month. I just found this from Feb 12.
I’ve been making little sketches to myself […]

what’s in a name

I’ve always been pretty good at coming up with pet names. If I see a dog on the street, I can look at him and name him within 20 seconds, and most people seem to agree that is was a great name. It goes like this. Me: “See that dog? He should be called ‘Phineas.’” […]

laser cut skateboard decks

Refill magazine is curating an exhibit of beautifully designed and laser cut skateboard decks at a Sydney’s MTV Gallery. They’ve got a Flickr set up with a bunch of picts.

Absolutely stunning. I’d be proud to hang one of these on my wall.

ntmf

New York hip-hop group Naturally7 performs an acappella, human-beatbox rendition of Phil Collins’ Air of the Night on the Paris metro and convinces me they be named NTMF, or naturally Talented Mother Fuckers. This video is incredible. The metro riders got an incredible live performance, and by the end realize it.

Looks like they’ve been around […]

incredibly handsome

Yes. I am talking about myself.

Have you seen my teef?

Maybe you haven’t heard. I chipped my tooth at Waxy O’Connor’s on Friday evening. I was holding a pint up to my mouth and walking through a crowded and rowdy bar. My elbow bumped a guy, and a chain reaction caused the bump to move from […]

tracy morgan’s loaf of bread

Tracy Morgan, comedian from Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, did a little ABC morning show in NY, completely out of his mind. Seriously funny video. This guy is nuts.

“I’ll tell you what’s gonna happen. Somebody unna get pregnant.”

Thinking of talking Jayna into quitting the Super Friends with me. It’s not that I don’t believe in what we do. It’s just embarrassing. I mean, how do I fit in with these guys? What’s that, […]

Day Watch. Whoa. Either the best thing since The Matrix, or a total piece of crap. Watch this trailer and see what I mean. HUGE potential.

nightster

Despite the girl it makes me seem, I have never been a huge fan of Harley Davidson motorcycles. Of course I love the the noise and I love the idea, but I just never really loved the design. When the V-Rods came out a few years ago, that all changed for me, especially when I […]

beautiful batman short

This very stylized Batman short animation by Isaak Fernandez Rodriquez is absolutely gorgeous. Kind of a big download, but worth it. I hope he continues the series.
