00-Weird

I'm too busy laughing right now, but I'm going to have to watch The Spy Who Loved Me again now, just to find out where the big fish featured in the story. And what's that? Lovers Fishie Club? I'm very confused now. At least Gary Wilmot, err, sorry, Roger Moore, is ready for settling down with his Lotus Esprit estate. See the original American version of the poster and more movie posters from Ghana over at Empire.

EXOvault iPhone Case

I don't seem to be able to make a cup of tea without coming back to see someone else writing a blog about the iPad, or tweeting about a blog about the iPad. So I'm posting something good about the iPhone.

These cases are handmade by EXOvault, a small, artist-run company in Brooklyn. Machined from two solid blocks of either aluminium, titanium or brass, they fit the iPhone 3G or 3GS like a glove so your beloved iPhone won't even be scratched.

Spiders

Unlike many people, I'm a fan of spiders and never kill them. They're good for controlling the pests in the garden and lets face it, they're pretty stunning when not squashed under your size 10 boot. Thomas Shahan's amazing up close and personal photography with some eight-legged friends makes you realise just how wonderful they are.

Infra Red Photography

Pretty striking stuff. Original post from Abduzeedo

Helvetica Biscuits

Nope, your eyes do not deceive you. You can get Helvetica cookie cutters and then, presumably, be the envy of everyone you know as you have t with your tea (he says, avoiding the other obvious "Can i have a p please Bob" jokes)

Graffiti Analysis

If I ever have the time, I'll do this - graffiti analysis, showing there's a lot more that goes into a tag than might meet the eye...

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett join forces once again for the Gorillaz next outing to Plastic Beach. The single "Stylo" will be released in a couple of days on 26th January with the album following on 9th March. Stylo features Bobby Womack and Mos Def makes a couple of appearances on the album as new character "Sun Moon Stars."

Russian Photography Group

Ok, so. If you're ever bored, get into a photo club like this, shown on the English Russia website. This photo is from the project where the community have to construct and shoot the following scenario:

“A Zombie: A man, rolled up in bandages should crawl on his stomach at a pedestrian crossing. He should have a knife sticking out of his back. Another guy should chase him with a working chainsaw”

Others include a waiter up to his waist in a refuse chute - that one is well worth checking out. This is now one of my favourite websites.

Drag Racing Bus

Yeeeeeeeeeah...

Mr Bingo x Haiti Disaster

Mr Bingo is producing a couple of prints which are up for sale though his site - a mere fiver each to you, but a hell of a difference to the disaster fund. So you get a damn good print and a damn good feeling too. Every penny is going to charity, GFSmith have supplied the paper free of charge and K2 Screen have produced the screen prints FOC as well. Dig deep everyone...

Basco5

I've liked Basco5's work for ages, just never got round to posting any until now.

A Very Eggy Engagement

It's a long story, but I planned a second proposal to Liz as the first one (18 months ago) didn't go amazingly to plan. True to form, the second one didn't either. Snow caused massive delays and our romantic lunch in Amiens, France, turned into a horrible 23 hour journey which saw us arrive at our holiday destination at 4am the next day. Thankfully, she said yes. Again.

Massive thanks have to go out to Felt Mistress, the wonderfully helpful, generous and creative soul who made me this outstandingly good fried egg with an extra little ribbon so I could tie the ring to it. If you haven't seen her work before you're missing out and should feel ashamed if you don't now seek it out.

Dexter

Working my way through Dexter after getting Series 1 for crimbo. I don't quite know how the hell I missed this when it was on TV. Probably because I hardly watch any TV. They've got as far as Series 4 and I've only just heard of it, but I'm totally, unhealthily addicted.

3 Frames

Pretty simple concept, take three frames and animate them on a loop. A little entertainment every day.
