Blatant car company logo ripoffs.

Alright so I finally got around to going through my Maui photos from last summer and uploaded them to my Flickr. I had only owned my camera for a week when these were taken so it was a fun exercise in learning how to use it. View the Flickr set here.

In case you've somehow missed it, the posters that Shepard Farey created for Barack Obama are fantastic, and bound to pull in a whole new audience that probably haven't previously had any interest in the presidential race. From obeygiant.com:

"I believe with great conviction that Barack Obama should be the next President. I have been paying close attention to him since the Democratic convention in 2004. I feel that he is more a statesman than a politician. He was against the war when it was an unpopular position (and Hillary was for the war at that time), Obama is for energy and environmental conservation. He is for healthcare reform. Check him out for yourself  www.barackobama.com. Proceeds from this print go to produce prints for a large statewide poster campaign.
Thanks.
-Shepard"

Happy Birthday Lego! You don't look a day over 48.

Now this is something I can get behind. No more LOL.

Okay this is friggin cool. And watch the whole thing too… The first two minutes is like "yeah, so?" but it leads up to something really kind of awesome.

The Ivory website has been live for just over a week now and I have to admit, watching the Google Analytics is totally addictive. I mean, look at this! I think we may reach 800 hits today, and so far for the week we have 6300 pageviews. That's double what we had yesterday.

Ever since we submitted it to coolosxapps.net a few days ago it's gone quite viral. Gotta love the internets. Just wait until we submit it to the Apple Downloads website, we'll see what our hosting can handle then…

Interesting fact: We've had more hits from Italy than any other country. Made it onto one relatively prominent site there and hit the jackpot. 

I'm glad to have reached a point in my life where the texture of cottage cheese no longer creeps me out and I can enjoy it. 

Oh wow. Check out this Flickr set by the Library of Congress. Absolutely fantastic photographs, and if you follow the links through to the persistent LoC page for each image you can download the high res digital scan.

I sort of want one of these.
