I'm really holding it down with being inconsistent with my blogging. Honestly, I've been pretty busy all around. Lots of work being done outside of work lately, like those two posters up above, and printing items for brfc.etsy.com and the upcoming Stitch 'n' Kitsch show on December 4. The posters each reference something different that I'm a big fan of; Saul Bass & toggle switches. I have been tweeting a fair bit lately, so if you want to know what's going up with me personally, check out the feed up there on the right.

If you've been looking for links to stuff I like, sorry! Here are some for you now though.
------
It Would Have Been Cooler as a Van. Classic movie vehicles re-imagined as vans. Awesome. So hard to pick a favourite, but I pretty much have to pick the Back to the Future Delorean any time I get the chance.
------
History of video game consoles. Thorough. Seriously. Like, so thorough I've barely even started to look at it. Excited to slog through the whole thing when I have some time (so, never?).
------
Apple: Their tablet computer history. More thorough, nerdy chronicling of techno-history. Another thing I'm excited to read through...
------
Heroes of Folk. Love these. Love the classic American folk hero stories.
------
Jack Purcell mids in melton wool? Yes please!
------
10 reasons to grow a beard. As if you needed one.
------
CBC 75th anniversary logo. Nice.
------
The evolution of the geek.
------
That's enough for now! Maybe more sometime?

So happy for spring. Check out these Signs of Spring from The Big Picture. Nice stuff. (via Coudal)

Helping my continuing failure at not wanting an ipad is the acade arcade cabinet. So cute. So impractical but awesome. I really love those big red buttons and that joystick. That's proper gaming. If you can't have a full cabinet in your house (which, of course, is everybody's dream, right?), this looks like it could be a decent substitute.

For a guy who used to store and transport his cd's in ammo cases, this would be an awesome ipod dock to own.
------
Pillow menus. Have you ever heard of them? I hadn't until I was reading through this blog that features  weird things that people have searched online before. Great site. Most of them are super ridiculous, but when I read that someone had searched "Pillow Menus" I had to look them up. Long story short, pillow menus seem awesome, unless they come at a premium. I better not have to pay more for my memory foam! (ps, I don't actually use a memory foam pillow.)

Other entertaining entries on that blog?
"Mapquest, please show me United Arab Emirates." - love the idea of literally asking the internets to do things for you.
"How to draw awesome dragons." - this one's just cute.
------
Real life video game driving. Entertaining and informative.
------
How did a 4 day week still feel way too long? 

At my meeting with my sister yesterday she showed me Selleck Waterfall Sandwich, and I thought I should pass it along. Ridiculous.
------
Another interview people/musicians that I love! Racoon Wedding on Side B. Good stuff. As always, I love what Tim has to say about Brantford. Also, boozy is definitely a good descriptor for their music. I love the brawl-y, boozy, drunken sing-a-long vibe of their stuff.
------
Do you want to play one of the weirdest video games I've ever played? First person Tetris. It hurts my head!
------
Tiny Living Room Inside a PC. I don't remember how I found this.
------
Came across this one at work today: flexible cd/dvds. More environmentally friendly, more versatile. Interesting.
------
Millenium Falcon Bed. Seriously ridiculous.

Excited.

New poster. Can't wait to see it up around town.
------
The main reason I decided to post right now is that I just bought this, and I couldn't wait to share it with you all. I can't wait for it to show up in my mailbox! Letterpress, beautiful, great colours, super cute, woodgrain. So much good going on! Could potentially go well in a number of spots around the house.

Seriously? Seriously:

SO CUTE. CAN'T WAIT.

Here's something else I've been eyeing over and over again on etsy recently. Great colours. Must be a split fountain from what I know of this kind of thing. Which to me seems tricky to do with consistency. I don't even really know how to explain why I like the colours so much, but I just feel like they're perfect. The only reason I haven't bought it yet is because I have problems with wearing off-white shirts, so I'm afraid I wouldn't wear it much. Beautifully done though.
------
Made of Myth. The construction of vintage video games. Clever, witty, and very impressive in scope and production.
------
Here's something I keep forgetting to share with you, and I can't believe it, because it is one of my favourite images that I have seen on the internet for the last few weeks. In fact, since I've already broken from my usual 1 pic per post, and I love it so much, I'm putting the pic up here:
SERIOUSLY. How could I not love that? It does make me a little sad, as my friends' Boler was ruined this week, but overall, everything about this picture makes me happy. I tried starting to list them, but it would have gotten ridiculous. Even the shadows in the trailer!

I would LOVE a print of this. Apparently it's from a book, which I, of course, now need. (from design*sponge)
------
Speaking of books, I was in Words Worth today for the first time in far too long, to pick up two books I won from Mandy over at Edge of Seventeen. Always exciting to win something. Mandy left a note on the front of the one, with it's cheesy, model-photo based cover that said "Insert way better cover," which is a note I definitely appreciated (aside from the books!)

Thanks Mandy! I feel kind of bad for taking them from potential teen blog reader winners, but I do really want to read them!
