Caffeinated version, 7/7

• The new Science of Sleep trailer is out—looks good, looks good. I hated Eternal Sunshine, but I'm a fan of Michel Gondry's videos, so at this point I have mixed feelings. I'm glad Gael Garcia Bernal is finally having some fun, and I adore Charlotte Gainsbourg (this is sure to make her a mainstream indie darling... which will no doubt piss off the ones who considered her an indie darling already. I'm glad for her but also dreading it a little bit. Whatever, Yvan keeps her grounded). Plus, throw some Death Cab in the trailer and I'm pretty much sucked in (don't get me started on that phenomenon).


• I love the look of India Amos's blog... so soothing yet smart. Like a cool drink of nerd. I dig it.


• I'm both repelled and attracted by these Adidas London Gazelles, which manage to be kinda fun and sexy while straying way too close to clown shoe and wet leather perv areas. Yikes.


• Wow, I haven't even seen the Godfather (I know, I know) yet this horsehead pillow is pretty amazing (and disturbing, but in an exhilarating film geek kinda way).


• Ghostbusters... done entirely with animated gifs. And people say I waste my time! Still, it is kinda cool... heh.


• Science resources... potential outlets to promote the mighty IBIS... must get on that...


• These one-a-day artists have it figured out, man... an hour a day, maybe less, then a cheap whoring out for cash online. I'm telling you, if I had an extra hour a day, I somehow be the next Collage-A-Day (I've been keeping an eye on him for weeks, and I'm saying, it's not rocket science). It's catching on, too—I just read an article about it in the inflight magazine on my boring Monday domestic flight, for chrissake.


• Damn we are a stupid country. But nice idea to make a pattern from high school inept drawings of the US. Make it art, baby.


• I have finally gotten off my ass and actually put some photos on Flickr. Sure, they're crappy pix I took with my phone (for the most part), but I waste my time with that stuff, so there it is. You=Love.


• Love Meghan Murphy. Kawaii not, indeed! And yet I can't find anything I'd actually buy... does one really need a pancake orgy mug or blow me dandelion magnet, after all?


• Today I am proud—I taught my friend Cassie how to blog. I redid her website using a series of stealth blog templates (and one that's visibly a blog for product updates and such), so she can easily update the pages herself (rather than constantly having to ask me to do it). Woo! Spreading the geekiness, one innocent victim at a time! Hurrah!
