Who Says It's Unnecessary?

I heart Unnecessary Knowledge.

The Burger King Studio

Burger King has developed a new gimmick consisting of part art part (free) think tank part design studio. The burger giants are taking "Have it Your Way" to a whole new level by offering the chance to let the public design BK tees and other merchandise. They call it the BK Studio, I think it's an interesting idea. We'll see how this all plays out.

An Unsettling Nipple

I was reading dooce. today, which is awesome if you haven't noticed. And I thought this was so very heart-warming and funny and, yes, a little gross. But anyway it's a must read....

From a Craigslist posting...

Okay, so about three months ago my roommate takes in this stray dog. She's horrible, and I'm a dog lover, so I don't say that lightly. I say that as heavily as possible. And please don't flag this post for removal, because there is a real dog whose life is at stake here, and although you may disagree with my not writing flowery Ad-Man prose about her, hell, I'm just being honest. This dog sucks.

... I have to say that the first thing you notice about Mama Dog is: nipples. Obscenely large nipples. We think she was probably used for breeding or something because there's really no other explanation. I'm not being cruel, I'm just saying. Because there's one nipple in particular that is really disturbing. The rest you could maybe overlook. But she has this one nipple that hangs really low, and it's fat, but then it gets really skinny, and then it gets fat again. It's like it's just barely hanging on, though it's not, and evidently there's nothing 'wrong' with it except how it looks. But man, that nipple is unsettling.

Oh, Why hello there...

I'm sorry I've neglected you for days. What was I thinking? Never again, I promise. And to prove it I have some lovely Supermarket finds for you...

Voter Suppression

Having the right to vote is one of the very basic and most wonderful things about this country. I think everyone can agree on that, or at least I thought everyone could agree on that. That is until I stumbled upon this video from the organization ACORN. The video is part of a campaign by ACORN to set the record straight about the organization and it's intentions. Over the last 18 months, ACORN has waged a voter registration campaign, which successfully helped register 1.3 million new voters. But the McCain campaign has recently launched an attack on ACORN's efforts saying that the voters who were registered are fraudulent aims at skewing the race in Obama's favor. Why you ask? In preparation for the possibility of their loss. Should the GOP lose this election they can always put the blame on the "fraudulent voters" registered by ACORN. That attack is ridiculous. It truly is. As explained in this video it nearly impossible to get those kinds of results. Watch and learn.

Extreme Pumpkins

I love Halloween. I don't care what anyone says, I think it's fun damn it. Yes, it's childish, and cheesy, and mildly spooky but I enjoy it in all it's silliness. I won't be dressing up this year, costumes are expensive and my 3rd floor apartment doesn't strike me as the type of building that would encourage trick or treating. So there's no point in me dressing up only to sit around the apartment with no Halloween plans right? But I did find these fun and oh so creative pumpkins which I whought were pretty awesome. They are all from Extreme Pumpkins, a great place to look for Halloween fun.

The Daily Scrapbook

Yesterday I discovered The Daily Scrapbook, a weblog by Jessica Helfand. It's really very interesting. Every day she features a new and unique scrapbook. Some are modern some are absolute antiques! Today's feature for example is from 1922, beautiful stuff.

Obama: Funny too!

Very funny and charming "roast" at the Al Smith Dinner. Obama: "It's possible I'm a little too awesome." Watch both! They're sooo good! More here.

Friday Freebie!!

Woohoo! What a weird week this has been. So glad it's Friday let the fun weekend festivities begin! I've been on a recipe finding mission lately which inevitably lead to a need for cute recipe cards. Coincidentally, I came across these over at Creature Comforts, I dig the bright colors.

Do you wonder?

I have wondered, like I'm sure many of you have, what awaits us if "the unthinkable happens" and one day we've got a President Palin. Answers are provided here.

Spotted this lovely piece over at Graphic Exchange. It's so beautiful, it's intended for a young company for web based solutions. Designed by the Dutch firm Sublevel. Nice stuff.

I Love This Oh So Much

I dig Stefan G. Bucher, yes it's true. Not that I've ever met the guy but he just seems like a good guy. His Daily Monsters are so fun and so inspired and just spur of the moment creative. I admire the guy and I am not alone. Stefan recently gave an interview on Abduzeedo which is quite good. Have a look see and you too will dig Stefan G. Bucher.

My Carfunfootprint

According to MiniUSA, my carfunfootptint is 82 out of 197. They take the "greeness" of you r car and add it to how fun your car is to drive. My score was a bit weak. The solution, but a new Mini! I don't mind that at all!
