I’ll be honest, I never really thought it possible to design something pretty with Comic Sans.

I think this new Veer tee proves my thought process wrong.

There are certain things in life that inspire folks to make a steadfast stance either for or in opposition. The logic is often fuzzy, but it seems like every fiber of one’s being is involved.

I started to make a list of these things, in hopes that a pattern would emerge with more data:

  • Crocs
  • Styling of the PT Cruiser
  • Windows/Mac OS
  • (insert political candidate)
  • Rap music
  • Rachel Ray
  • Marriage equality
  • Anchovies

What else might fit on this list?

These valentines from the GOP struck me as exceptionally pitiful. (via Zefrank)

This is for the ‘about’ page that with launch with the new design. Instead of a manifest, we’re going to have a string of statements. For example, Clusterflock is a weblog without definition. or Clusterflock is a group of people who have largely never met each other in meatspace. You get the idea. Be wordy or concise. There are no rules.Second: Links to sites we recommend. Currently our list is short, but there are lots of places around the web that deserve our clusterlove. Personal sites of flockers will automatically be included, along with the eight currently listed in the right column. What else would you include? I’d encourage everyone to share around three or so, but again, no rules.

Back in May we started gathering thoughts for a redesign of Clusterflock. Months later (apologies on that—where did summer go?), it’s time to take a look at some initial concepts and throw in your 2 cents.

A couple things to consider: These comps are done in Photoshop. It’s a quick way to visualize an idea, so what you’re seeing is a big image. It will load slowly.

Also, I’ve just tackled the top of the page. If you’re missing content (like recent comments or obligatory buttons and links), those will likely resurface at the bottom of the page (footer).

Here are 3+ variations to get this conversation started back up.

Drop a comment with what bits you like, what bits you don’t, and help us refine what to explore for Round 2.

While Greg was sleeping I noticed his arm. I can’t believe he kept this from me. We need to act fast.

Yeondoo Jung created a series of photographs inspired by children’s crayon drawings in 2005, and they are fantastic.

From his site:

Yeondoo Jung transforms photography into a magical wand that, with the wave of his hand, casts a magic spell. His photos recreate the dreams of adolescents that he has met in cities around the world. His own world is made up of children’s fantasies scribbled on drawing paper — not a world of reality, but of faded dreams. His photos are careful, imaginative re-creations that bring to life the fragmented stories of people that come his way and tickle his ear and eye.

Sadly unable to meet the flockers flocking on the east coast, I will be almost as forlorn not being able to attend the The 4th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational happening in LA this weekend.

Registration is closed, but folks are still welcome to attend. I’d like to see how contestants can get by with stringent rules including: No flame throwers or clown vomit.

Sandwiches are judged on presentation, taste, and Wessonality.

Slate digs deeper. In short (pardon the pun):

Battery-powered wireless microphones, guitars, and other gear keep performers isolated from potentially dangerous electrical current.
