BAKER Business Card - FPO (For Print Only)

There's so much I like about these business cards, but I especially like the unique dimensions and the varied fronts (yet the unifying back). You can be so boring with the same 'ol business cards as everybody else in your company, but it's nice that everybody gets the chance to be a little different on these. #

Feltron 2010 Annual Report

An impressive "encapsulation of [his] father's life, as communicated by the calendars, slides and other artifacts in [his] possession." He shows the original items in this Flickr photo, but has turned it into something more. I'd personally enjoy a mix of the designs and stats he's shown, along with scans and transcriptions of the actual items, in order to tell a more complete or comprehensive story (though it's probably a bit too personal to share in such a way with the entire interwebs). Either way, impressive work. #

Dimitri Tishchenko makes sure you'll always feel inferior when playing with Buckyballs (small super strong neodymium magnets). I admit I didn't look through all 721 photos currently in the set, but I'm sufficiently impressed. #

Back to the Future set from a Security Guard's Perspective

"Hey McFly. I thought I told you never to come in here." This guy got a job as a security guard at Universal Studios when they were filming Back to the Future, and took some photos of the set in both of its versions (1955 and 1985). Very cool. #

AIRPLANE! - At AMC Theatres - January 29 and February 1, 2011

For the dozens of times I've watched AIRPLANE! I've never been able to see it on the big screen. I wish I lived in a city/state where they had AMC theaters, just so I could go see one of my favorite movies. I hope my father takes advantage the opportunity. Shirley it's too good to pass up. #

A Victim Treats His Mugger Right : NPR

"Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you're going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm." I'd like to think I'd do the same in Diaz's position. #

A Day in the Future

Sometimes we forget how fortunate we really are, and how amazing everything truly is. #

World Famous Design Junkies - The Ace of Spades

I like this collection of photos of the focal point of any deck of cards - the Ace of Spades. It'd be nice if the pictures were closer of the individual cards (and if their site weren't so appallingly slow). #

Soap Flakes : Nathalie Stämpfli

I despise soggy bars of soap, especially those intended for hand-washing. Apart from liquid soap (about which I have separate complaints), this is a great solution. Too bad it doesn't appear to be sold anywhere. #

Sarah Bridgland - Design*Sponge

I saved this link back when it was originally posted (in June 2009), but never posted it. I thought the 3-D paper collages by Sarah Bridgland was very cool. I love the colors she uses, and the focus on type. She clearly has a great eye. Check out Sarah's Flickr stream for further proof. #
