New Skype UI is powered by fail

All I can really say is “Jesus Christ, that’s is really fucking ugly.”

If you can imagine a special needs red headed stepchild had an… offspring (seems like an accurate term) with a naked mole rat then you might get an idea of what Skype 5.0 looks and behaves like.

Smallest House Ever

Posted: August 18th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Design, Technology | No Comments »

No, it’s not a house for human bathmats or puppets in disguise. It’s a 300 sq ft ‘house’ in Hong Kong that transforms into 24 different rooms. It’s pretty bad ass, although I think I’m too much of a pack rat to be able to live there with all my shit (aka books I’ve never read and probably wont, & a myraid of other trinkets and random crap that is completely unnecessary).

Me: I hate this fucking site *sends link*

Tiz: What about it?

Me: I created it

Tiz: ah, i see i see

Me: and now i want it to rot in hell
Me: this must be what it feels like to have children…


Possible Makeover?!

Posted: April 21st, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Design | No Comments »

Contemplating the possibilty of a makeover for the site. Pretty as it is (you can keep your opinions to yourselves). But we can rebuild it! I have the techonoligies!!!… or someone does and I can steal it! So, maybe/hopefully I’ll find the motivation to do things after I’m done procrastinating.

These are some decently cool, grunge looking tarot cards though they’re based on the series Lost, which I’ve never seen and have no idea desire to see. Based purely on aesthetics I would buy these. Do they actually work? Does Tarot actually work? Who knows, but I’m willing to bet I could drink enough to believe it does…

Neon Dreams Design

Posted: April 16th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Design | No Comments »

Christopher Haines aka Neon Dreams has quite the impressive portfolio. Methodical and bright photo compositions that really catch your eye. I don’t really need to say much as the work really speaks for itself. And he did a piece of Thom Yorke from Radiohead so that’s +20 for Chris in my book.


My New House

Posted: April 12th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Design | No Comments »

Well, not really… But I found this design by Head Architecture amazing. Someday, when I finally am able to curb my spending on useless shit, maybe I’ll be able to buy a house; in Detroit most likely if we’re going for bang-for-your-buck spending… Extra money for guard dogs, a razor wire fence and heavy artillery.

Paper Panda!

In lieu of my random obsession with all things panda (I don’t really understand it either, but I’m just going with it) I’m going to make this, and it’s going to be awesome. Will post pics if successful or not!

The Perils of a Glass House

Posted: March 31st, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Design, Random | No Comments »

Living in a glass house would suck astronomically large balls. Lets start with the obvious, shall we? Everybody will be able to see your business, in every sense of the term. Hopefully, as this house depicts, you’d be living in a heavily wooded area with your nearest neighbor more than a mile away and hoping that they don’t own a telescope. Then again if you’re like me and you don’t really care too much about parading around your home semi or completely naked from time to time with blinds open when you’re living in a densely populated area, then this aspect of a glass house might be overlooked. The other downside of this transparency is that you probably shouldn’t own any expensive shit, but if you’re opting for this house and life style, you probably do. This is any thieving bandits dream; being able to case the house with the simplest of ease. One quick walk around and you’re done, being able to see virtually any expensive trinket, gadget or possession that could be yours for the taking, and all you really nice is a decently sized rock, a good arm and voila! You’re in. One option would be to carefully cover everything you own with sheets, but you know what? Fuck that.

Back on the wagon!

Posted: March 29th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Art, Design | No Comments »

Huzzah! Welcome back! Or welcome me back, I should say. Either way, here we are again! After a random hiatus of job hunting and dealing with the fun things in life (bills, money, and more bills) I’ve come across this awesome artist, Lior Arditi.



This guy is rather clever with his concepts, I really like them a lot!
