Coasters

"This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays." -HGTTG (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

I think the quote almost every Thursday and today is no exception so I decided to find something that made me giggle today. These coasters are brilliant and made from recycled automobile tires. Too bad they are $38 for only 4 coasters.

P.S. I am trying to remember to link all of my pictures up so that if you click on the picture it takes you somewhere, usually the site it's from or where to buy it. But occasionally somewhere like....here.

Eco-chainsaw, haha!

Business card card for Tur & Partner (a landscape architecture firm) designed by Jung von Matt. Simply awesome.

"Add a little light and water to this seeded business card and in a couple days, you’ve got yourself a professionally landscaped miniature garden. Seeds embedded into the card sprout right through the holes in the plan printed on the card."

UPDATE on Capital 1 logo

I was just happen to be checking the site today and what do I see? The "unveiling" of their new logo:

At first glance I thought there was a glitch in their website. I see what they are going for, butttt eh...it looks a bit odd.

Valentine's Day

Well I hate to break it to you, but I'm not much of one for Valentine's day. We're pretty much going to ignore it this year (I asked Mike and he said thats ok, haha). However, if we were to get into the spirit of the holidays I would decorate with this heart garland from CoriKindred's esty shop. I just absolutely adore it! (Probably because decorating for a typically pink holiday with black makes me a happy little girl.)

LIGHTS OUT!

Mark March 29th on your calendars for Global Earth hour. In every city at 8:00 p.m. (local time) shut off your lights in show of support for protecting our environment.

I'll post about this again when the date gets closer You have 54 days to spread the word.

Advice to Sink in Slowly

" Advice to sink in slowly is a series of posters designed by recent and established graduates of University College Falmouth for the purpose of passing on advice and inspiration to first year students. A poster is given as a welcoming gift to every first year student when they enrol."

These are a few of my favorites, but there are about 60 of them, check out the flickr set.

BE ADVENTUROUS. DON'T USE HELVETICA FOR ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.

TO CREATE IDEAS IS A GIFT, TO CHOOSE WISELY IS A SKILL.

LET GO OF WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW.

Hey, smile, it's Friday.

And if the fact that it's Friday doesn't put you in a good mood then this banner ad should do the trick. Enjoy!

Bad Comics

Ok, I decided it's easier for me to do weekly comics. Is that ok with you? No? Well too bad.(Via Nedroid)

Guitar & Amp Pillow Cases

I was going to say that these are cute, but wouldn't fit in the style of our room. Then I realized we have an amp, 2 keyboards, 3 guitars, a bass, 4 mixers, and other various music equipment in our room, so these would actually go perfectly.

Pepsi Ads

These Pepsi ads by BBDO won the Grand Prix at the 2007 Epica Awards. I'm not a 100% sure what Pepsi has to do with snowboarding, mountain climbing, or surfing, but I love the way the tinted photos make their logo in a not quite so obvious way.

Jazz Radio

I believe these ads done for Jazz Radio are by McCann-Erickson Poland (not 100% so don't yell at me if I'm wrong). It's a bit shocking (and almost gross) but quite beautiful at the same time. Definitely caught my eye and I love their color palate, back and white color photography. Fabulous.

(if you can't tell, it's music notes that they are throwing up, click for a larger view)

Bad Comics

Well I've been slacking on posting Nedroid's Bad Comics (He says they're bad, I say they're awesome.) so I thought I would give you a few to make up for it!
