Noisy Decent Graphics: The Design Disease
Not necessarily about design, though I have a bigger than passing interest enough that I notice these things too. But movies… Ask anyone that knows me, I’m known as a “hater” dissecting so many minute details of movies, but I only do it because I love the movies.

Images created from a set number of other things. A pic of Benji Franklin from C-notes, etc. Gives a good idea of scale of consumption too…
I think that says 100 Best Fonts. I’m not sure. The list is for 100 fonts. Who knows? Not me. I dislike how the site is set up. Why make me click to see the font? Ugh. But since I like fonts and typography, here it is.
Molecular jewelry. So great. I wasn’t the best in chemistry or organic chemistry, but I loved both classes. I’m calling it right now, these are cool…
So niche it borders on irrelevant. That being said, I like the blog. Kottke calls it the nicest niche blog. I say nice, but random.

In Japan, barely a ripple – Los Angeles Times
Well not all of Asia, but most definitely Japan and South Korea. Even the iPhone is lackluster to them. Though despite all they can do with their phones, I’d imagine even they would have to admit that the touch interface (multi-touch) is pretty damn cool.

Haha, don’t you just love bad pun headlines? I cannot stand how many people are tossing their Wii-motes! How are these people even alive? How is it that they don’t unintentionally let go of the car’s steering wheel while driving? Especially in games like Wii Tennis. I mean, do they routinely let their real rackets go while playing actual tennis? Or is it that 90% of Wii owners have never actually participated in an actual sport…. (I kid… sort of).
All that said, it makes me want this shirt!
