Hmmm?
I Can Be Free
Yeah yeah, I know you don’t watch videos at work, whatever. You can even watch this with the sound off and it’s amazing.
I just… I just… Simone says it’s the best thing he’s seen all month, and I wholeheartedly agree.
The New New York Phil Logo
I showed it to my web designer and he looked like somebody hat opened the Arc of the Covenant. I mean, look at the M! Look at the W! This is really some entry-level Adobe™ Illustrator put-text-on-a-line shit right there. But what I like about it is that you can tell that somebody hunched over a desk really loving on that W. Somebody really cared for that H, and its busted twin. Somebody manipulated that raggedy-ass K by hand and somebody else walked by the desk and said, “good work, team!” It’s touching, in its way.
This Was Charming
And one of the few Super Bowl ads deserving of accolades, I think:

What will be your epitaph?
Monopoly: Revolution Edition
“Monopoly: Revolution Edition” is slick and round instead of dull and square, with debit cards and an ATM instead of paper money and a banker, clear plastic representations of the classic tokens (bye-bye, little boot!), and clips of popular songs (like Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day,” and Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love”) that play after certain actions.
No paper money!
PAPPELTALKS
Hubero Kororo designed this interactive CD cover for the band Uceroz. When you pull a tab on the side to open the CD, an ink cartridge leaks and fills the front cover with purple ink. (via)
my posting of this image, and attending text, in no way endorses the media frenzy — or scurrilous sanctimony — surrounding Tiger Woods dipping his wick
The bottles, found in several grocery stores, displayed “Unfaithful” rather than the usual “Focus” message. Obviously, they were fakes; this isn’t the kind of collectors’ edition that a company generally manufactures. Gatorade naturally issued a statement distancing itself from these creations.
the pedestrian is in the store before entering it
The new store’s façade is planned to be completely transparent at street level, with large skylights allowing trees to grow inside the store, thus minimizing the transition from outside to inside and drawing customers in.
Christmas Memory: bb guns
One Christmas, my brother and I got Daisy bb guns. We wanted them bad. We couldn’t wait to shoot them, but it was mid-winter in Rockford. Daddy set us up a stack of boxes packed with newspaper in the basement with a target stapled to the side. It wasn’t long before we bored of straight shootin’ and opted up for tricks. We went upstairs, stole Mom’s hand-mirror off her vanity, and commenced fancy-shootin’ backwards Annie Oakley style. My brother’s first shot riccocheted off the blocks of the basement wall and hit my brother in the back of his head. Didn’t hurt him. Didn’t break the skin. But how he howled. It stung! We could have put an eye out!
I invite all clusterflockers/readers near and far to tell us a Christmas story over the next few days. It would be the best gift we could give each other.

Kind of amusing.
O What A Year
One year of Oprah’s magazine all layered together.

The New Luby’s Prototype
The new Luby’s prototype elevates the cafeteria experience with an upscale design and open floor plan. The restaurant’s exterior incorporates limestone, wood and stucco to invoke the appeal of the Texas Hill Country. A vaulted entrance guides customers through the center of the dining room to the serving line. An open-view kitchen provides enhanced visibility and ambiance, while oversized windows surrounding the dining room present an abundance of natural light.
This “next generation” cafeteria offers a more contemporary look and feel with upscale features that include granite surfaces, exposed wood ceilings, terrazzo floors and cherry wood walls. The restaurant also features a covered seating area on the outdoor patio.
An elevated cafeteria experience is no longer a cafeteria experience.
The new Luby’s prototype is no longer a Luby’s.
That’s it.

cake’s gone rong
Someone who decorates cakes for a living should possess certain skills. Spelling is an important one. For example, success is not quite as sweet when the inscription reads, “Contralulation’s Ronan.” An eye for color helps, too. Piped dark brown swirls are never a good idea on a cake dotted with plastic farm animals. Finally, a few words about customer service: When someone requests that nothing be written on the cake, “NOTHING” should not be written on the cake.

Edoardo Pasero – On Permanence
To compliment Kelsey’s post I got to thinking about Edoardo Pasero’s series called On Permanence. He also has his own site if you have an interest in his work.
