“Producer Peter Chin used a ‘combination of three-dimensional ultrasound scans, computer graphics and tiny cameras to capture the process from conception to birth’ of a number of animals including penguins, elephants, dolphins, dogs, and penguins. Yes, penguins. It was filmed for a National Geographic Documentary called Extraordinary Animals in the Womb.”

i am not surprised that there’s a website for this. respect. :)

warning:  this one may destroy your color vision for the next hour  or so:  oversaturated duckface with makeup overload!

“okay, honey, let’s sit down and have a nice little chat, ok?

sweetie, darling, your friends love you. they care about you. they think you’re gorgeous.

and they’re really fucking tired of you ruining all their pictures with this stupid goddamned face, mmmmkay? they sent us your pictures and asked us to bitchslap some sense into that pretty little head of yours. this is our best attempt.

we have no fucking idea if our message will make it through the layer of bronzer, but honey, we had to try.”

since I’ve attended a workshop about pictograms last week…

Imaginative and elegant pictograms and signage for men’s and women’s public bathrooms by Brazilian designer and illustrator Sergio Bergocce.

cheered me up.

I found this post on weddingchicks.com. A photoshoot for a couple’s wedding (Lynette and James), inspired by the animation UP. This is what I love about my major; how it inspires people. I do hope they’ll be very very happy throughout their “greatest adventure” together. This movie always brings tears to my eyes, too. I hope I won’t be too old&boring to not get this kind of wedding. (sighs)

Have you seen Disney Pixar’s movie UP? Every time I see this movie I cry no matter what. It is quite touching. So, when Wildlfowers Photography shared with us this adorable engagement shoot we were so excited to share it with you!

The idea of this photo shoot came from Lynnette and James.  Their favorite movie is UP so they wanted an engagement shoot based around the movie. Below is a sweet and touching letter that James wrote to Lynnette and so kindly shared with Wildlfowers Photography and we are going to share it with you… break out your hankies…

“Lynnette… I have a confession, I am in love with you.  It is not the ‘usual’ love, but the love that makes me remember the little things, the ‘boring’ things.  It is the boring things in life that I will remember the most.  The memories of jumping over sidewalk cracks to how the clouds talk to us.  You make me remember the moments.  It is that love that makes me believe.  Belief that I was there when you were a toothless kid.  Dancing through life, only stopping to hold my hand. Letting me know that anything is possible.  I am in love with you, ‘my greatest adventure’. – James”

The Trustocorp Crew

May 16, 2010

just brilliant.

“The Trustocorp crew–who when last we checked in were filling stores with fake products like Banko (eat the rich) cereal–are back with a new public service sign. It reads: Don’t Feed The Hipsters, and is appropriately placed in McCarren Park, where kickball season just began. But let’s presuppose someone ignored this warning and did feed the hipsters, what do you think they like to eat? (Asking for a friend.)” [Gothamist]

I Want More

May 15, 2010

dear google, don’t make promises that you cannot possibly keep.

Everything…and “More?”  This strikes me as a really weird UI decision.

Steampunk Chopper

May 15, 2010

I know absolutely nothing about motorcycles and all but this looks really cool in terms of design. Though perhaps it’s body is a bit too close to the ground.

I just came across this post here. And I laughed my head off, so here you go, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the “Better Marriage Blanket”.

051310-fartblanket.jpg

“So we’re just going to get right to the point with this post, because no graceful intro or set up can counterbalance the idea behind this new product. It’s called the “Better Marriage Blanket” and that’s only because calling it “The Fart Trapping Blanket” seems well… too obvious.”

“The Better Marriage Blanket retails between $29.99 and $59.99 (Twin-King) and is available in white and beige shades. It’s a comforter that’s constructed from the same military grade fabric used to protect against chemical weapons, so your Silent But Deadlies aren’t lethal to anyone else who happens to be sharing a bed with you.

The item isn’t yet available in stores, but you can order your own online and make sure to take a peek at the online informercial if you’re in the mood for an adolescent giggle.

You use the product like you would any comforter, the inner layer of “activated carbon fabric” keeps the smells at bay. Now if they just make underpants from the stuff, you’ll be set for night and day!

We don’t have any wise words to wrap this up, but the 7 year old in us would really like to point out their logo… just sayin’.”

I copied the comments from the original post. But, what a logo designer is supposed to do for this kind of product. :) God, I hope I won’t be dealing with such stuff 10 years from now.
