2009.08.31 Driven to Distraction - NYTimes.com

Utah now penalizes a texting driver who causes a fatality as harshly as a drunken driver who kills someone. Since I live in the state and know some people who lost their son (who was on his way home from his son's soccer game, sitting at a stoplight and got rear-ended) to a teenager who was texting and driving, I find this especially applicable. Full-blown negligence. #

A cleverly designed scan-tron (think: standardized test form) for teacher/professor reviews. #

les animaux

A flickr collection of pages from an old french how-to-draw books. There's something beautiful in the simplicity of these types of books. #

2009.08.24 Kind of Bloop: An 8-Bit Tribute to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue

I've been following this project on Kickstarter since its inception, and was very interested to see how it would turn out. Although I'm not a Miles Davis super-fan, this creation is a fabulous rendition, and I think a great tribute (albeit modern and geek chic) to the jazz master. #

2009.08.23 Pterodactyl Squad - Weezer - The 8-bit Album

I'm very late to this one (saved it to review at a later date... and that date finally came). Weezer songs and video game sound chip tunes, all mashed up into what would only be one of the most awesome soundtracks to an 8-bit video game ever. My personal favorites are 4 (with human vocals), and 7 (sans vocals). Very cool. Very geek chic. #

Jessica Hische - Alphabet Letterpress

While I'm on the topic of posters, this is a beautifully designed alphabet. Each character has a great feel, and an obvious attention to detail. #

2009.08.23 How Different Groups Spend Their Day - NYTimes.com

An interesting glimpse into how our days are divided. I'd be interested to see a truly narrowed-down version of this, except I'm afraid it'd show just how little sleep I get, how much more I work, and how little time I spend exercising. #

Alan Hynes Poster - Ferris Bueller's Day Off

I'd love to own a copy of this poster (or even better, to get one without the extra date/time crap on there). It's a great movie, and I think this is an awesome poster. "You killed the car." #

2009.08.19 Kitchen Timer by Emma Caselton » Yanko Design

A recipe with an integrated timeline and timer... to make sure things turn out just right and at the right time. I'd be curious to see if these have multi-recipe helpers... because for me its tougher to time multiple things to be ready at the same time. Either way, pretty slick. #
