Kripy #132 Bulbs
Pixel Addict, Bulbs
It’s time to plant them now kids, start them off in a cool dark place and wait until the tips pop up and begin to grow actively. I can totally relate at the moment, and if someone turned me upside-down, buried me in dirt, and left me in the laundry sink for a few days I’d relish the opportunity to think about not much at all. The little things are biting: Mackerel’s new found fascination with Frogger; inspiring conversations I have to let go; finding three gas plumbers and adding them to Highrise. Dirt never tasted so sweet.
Kripy #131 Cold Wet Eels
pureandapplied, Eel, Tsukiji Fish Market
I was under the assumption that things - such a clumsy word things - would be challenging. All the time. The thing is that those who set up my configuration file got it a little wrong. Mistakes are okay, as long as you take on the responsibility, but undoing that which cannot be undone makes for a perilous picnic indeed. Ants or no pants, at some point in our lives we’ll need to jump the wall of frustration. Just don’t overcook the landing okay?

Recycle, Yellow Bin Grass, Green Bin Bottles
I’ve been recycling my thoughts and words of late, kind of like the evil robots in “The Matrix” feeding the blood of dead batteries into the newer ones, the process is not without its black spots. Lucky for me I’m as colour blind as a shark else your compost would be filled with the shards of my empty beer bottles. Reiterating through old thoughts all shouted out loud is not as invigorating as it sounds, I was hoping for a more calming effect, spurred on by my insightful memes. So words die fast, don’t wear them out.
Kripy #129 Brain Bender
Bob.Fornal, Brain Food
Monkey boy, swarms of irreverent bugs, version 2.0, moonwalking, analog versus digital, spiders and without driving the point home too far, exclusivity. This is what I like to call a mental flossing and it’s probably the most effective method for keeping sane other than drowning your sorrows in someone else’s tears. You should try it some time, just brain dump without thinking, it’s kind of like boot camp for the brain.

Kripy #128 Many Words Make Light Work
Idle hands are the Devil’s playthings. That’s it. The fact that my brain manages to sort itself out at crunch time is verification, to me anyhow, that my internal hard drive hasn’t fried itself in an act of self-mutilation. Either that or the hamsters have woken from their summer sojourn, ready to start spinning the wheel again, interpreting all the silliness thrown at me on a day-to-day basis. Joy.

Loud Noises
Where on Earth is Waldo?
Where's Waldo, out of the book and into Google Earth via Melanie Coles' graduation project.
Hurry up and sign up before all the good names are taken. And then start by following me.
Twistori
I thought I'd beaten the Big M to the punch ... but I missed it by about a week. Sigh.
Genevieve Gauckler
Has a blog.
Scion Speak
The Polar Bear has got me making crests. (I'm in a Space Invaders frame of mind at the moment, if you hadn't already noticed).
Justice: Stress
The SAD kids found it and I'm questioning what exactly Justice are attempting to say?
M83: Saturdays=Youth
If my Last.fm profile is anything to go by, you'll know that this record, posted to me by the lovely kids at EMI, is completely ruling my life at the moment. It sounds like M83, aka Anthony Gonzalez, has been overdosing on anything directed by John Hughes, and why not?
Tokyo Police Club: Tessellate
War is never pretty, especially when the parents get involved. Film clip kicks, so does the tune.
Something Secret
"Something Secret is a bunch of people who make things all day and all night". I know this because I followed a link from somewhere (lost it) telling me that they've just dropped a brand new zine title "Totally Rad".
cooperativedesigns
Trying really hard but I’m just not getting it.
Ill Studio
Great and somewhat trippy work from Ill Studio.
Mercy Arms x Club 77
Live music, cheap drinks, free CD, Mercy Arms, Club 77, the acid thickens.
Coca Cola x Evan Hecox
First there was Sony Bravia ripping off Kozyndan, now it's Coca Cola lifting the work of Evan Hecox. And again the same thing happened: the artist was approached but turned the job down, only to find the work making it up there anyhow.
Vice Global Trend Report 2008 - Melbourne
The demise of the thong: "Summers get really hot in Australia, and it's tempting to bare your little piggies by wearing flip-flops. Ugh".
Van She Stache
The video clip for "Strangers", from the forthcoming debut by Van She title "V", has just dropped. Thing is the Hipster Runoff kids are having issues. (That link is clean, the website isn't).
Hacking Digital Billboards
Surreal stuff from Skullphone who took it upon himself to hack ten Clear Channel digital billboards in and around Los Angeles.
One Nation Under CCTV
Or "Return of the Banksy".
One Day Poem Pavilion
"Using a complex array of perforations, the pavilion's surface allows light to pass through creating shifting patterns, which–during specific times of the year–transform into the legible text of a poem".
Niwouinwouin
Niwouinwouin seems to be a French electronic music label complete with cute creatures galore. Found this one off Bobby's ever refreshing Desktop Wallpaper Project, leading me onto Jean Jullien.
Samuel Francois
Draws and photographs and is just plain rad.
