Clients From Hell
I will never tire of sites that focus on the absurdity of clients and their out-of-left-field requests. Never. With that in mind, Clients From Hell is right up my alley and provides an endless amount of entertainment. I think you'll agree.

Friday Videos - Nov 20th, 2009
Six Friday Videos Pretty tame this week folks but be sure to check the bonus offerings for some non-Youtube goodies. Here's the playlist ... Auto-Tune the Ads - seems like these guys are quickly moving past their prime and trying to embrace something new. At first I thought ...

Gabriel Jeffrey
Madrid clued me in to photographer Gabriel Jeffrey and while I've been enjoying the photographic works I think I'm equally enjoying (if not more) the tactic of presentation of the images. The site design is such that if your browser is bigger than the image, it expands to fill the area.. ...

Bio-Diversity
These clever leaves are the work of Christoph Niemann and, for better or worse, are humor of the cleanest and purest sense. You can send these along to your grandparents and all will enjoy a hearty chuckle.. but sometimes you need some good clean fun art to cleanse the palette.

2012: Believers vs Skeptics
It's not quite as compelling as the new Rolland Emmerich epic in theatres now but this 2012 Infographic covers all the bases of Believers vs Skeptics and does a good job in doing so. The charts of solar axis, galactic alignment and celestial equators is too good to be missed. The notion ...

Death of the Blog Post
Smashing Magazine has a great article on The Death of the Blog Post and subsequent rise of the "Blogazine." Basically they point out a rising trend in a handful of sites that create an entirely new look for each entry they post - embracing a more Magazine style mentality for their thoughts ...

Laptop Steering Wheel Desk
Please take a moment to browse the Amazon listing for this Laptop Steering Wheel Desk . While you're there be sure to check the bevy of customer images that go along with it. Well played Internet.. well played.

Chrome OS
While I have no intentions of making any sort of switch to the forthcoming Google Chrome OS I am rather curious to see what new and innovative ways they try to reinvent the wheel. That being said, I was rather excited to read this long summary of the Chrome OS Event in which many of the ...

Flairs - Truckers Delight
I'm not going to lie - I probably should not be posting a link to this incredible video for "Truckers Delight" by Flairs. It's quite NSFW and would probably be considered crass / vaguely offensive by a number of people. That being said, I love it. The pixel illustration style is pitch ...

Vonnegut, Salinger
Posting this as a reminder to myself and a decent heads up to you.. Find time to read these: The Uncollected Stories of JD Salinger, Collected . The title pretty much says it all. Letters of Note: Kurt Vonnegut - a short read but an important one as it is a letter sent from Vonnegut ...

Print Society
Hipster Dad Demetre sent out a great link to Print Society ; a repository of compelling images ready for purchasing at a (mostly) affordable price. The Editor's Picks are a great place to start but you'd be selling the experience short if you didn't explore everything else .

The Invisible Man
I'd seen some pics of this Invisible Man before but never felt too compelled by it until I saw the entire set. The pic with the cop and the extreme blending with the construction equipment won me over.

Scroll Clock
The Toki Woki Scroll Clock is one of finest examples of nerdery that I can recall in recent times. It's an impressive and very clever implementation of the LCD concept... except no liquid crytals, just CSS, javascript and some overflows!

Threadless + Griffin
Two items of note here: Threadless and Griffin Technology have teamed up to take designs from Threadless tees and put them on iPhone cases. This is, unsurprisingly, a brilliant and obvious partnership. I have been bestowed with one of each of the first designs to give away. I've got ...

NeQuest
It has been well established that I love a photostream of random images, movie stills and bizarre pieces of a bigger puzzle. That being said, the nequest stream is right up my alley. It tends to favor images that are a bit darker in nature but that's more of a fair warning to you rather ...

The Capulets - Classics
What do you do when you're a small indie label and the band whose debut record you planned on putting out breaks up before you can do anything with it? Well, if you're SU Records , you go ahead with putting it out. Such is the case with the one, and only, album from The Capulets Classics . ...

The Finch Split
This article points to the witnessed divergence of a new species of Finch on the Galapagos islands. While the change may be subtle there is enough difference to consider it a witnessed example of evolution - "that elusive moment when a single species splits in two." It's a quick read ...

Floating Magnetic Light
File this one under: Slightly Impractical But Worth Any Hassle It Might Incur. The Fiat Lux is a lamp that, through an ingenious use of magnets, turns on when the 'switch' is placed in a floating position below the main apparatus. It's basically the defacto light of the future and I ...

The Golden Archipelago
Did you happen to catch the new Matador Records promo piece for the forthcoming Shearwater record, The Golden Archipelago . It's filled with vintage photographs, dreamy video and a little bit of insight (musically) for the new album. I'm a sucker for all those things (and full browser web ...

Misc Links
In making my rounds of Slowmotions Internet onslaught yesterday I neglected some actual work, so today will be light on the posting. Here are a few gems to tide you over: Verizon responds to AT&T;'s Map For That lawsuit - latest aggressive ad campaign has AT&T; on the offense and Verizon ...
