LOOKING DOWN ON THE LITTLE PEOPLE

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 06:05:00 +0000

london-based artist slinkachu makes figures of handpainted people as art. you might go "meh. so what?", until you realize just how teeny tiny these figures really are:

they're really really tiny.

this is little people. it's his blog/art project wherein he chronicles the lives of his miniscule creations, by taking a photo of them, and then leaving them "to fend for themselves". this is a blog worth checking, if only to check out the ingenious situations he lets his tiny people get themselves into.

noreply@blogger.com (miguel) — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:15:00 +0000

I was browsing rottentomatoes.com and look what i spotted! Along with the other foreign movies, "Serbis" was on their front page - and it got an 86% fresh rating! Although I did hear some bad stuff about it, i still am looking forward to it. Awesome, it is going to get a limited theatrical release. Serbis, directed by Brilliante Mendoza, was screened at the Cannes Film Festival.

Fans of typography, celebrate! I spent so much time in this website. It is an interactive site where you type text and tinker with it by transforming its typeface, color, etc. It is snazzy.

LEGOS GONE DIGITAL

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 09:09:00 +0000

legos are sure making a comeback. first there was the JCDC lego-inspired fashion show, and now lego has teamed up with Digital Blue to make a line of digital products, like this awww-inducing digital camera.

unfortunately (or is it fortunately?) the bricks don't come apart.

other products that are planned include walkie talkies, mp3 players, video cameras. expect them to be on store shelves this summer, between $19.99 - $59.99 (approx PHP1,000 - 3,000)

The track is available for free download over at the official ck one website

FASHION NETBOOKS

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 03:38:00 +0000

netbooks have been around for quite some time. they have slowly been gaining traction and has even become a viable alternative to laptops. but the cheap alternative has always looked just that: cheap (and arguably ugly). most netbooks have looked more like toys than something that you could do actual work in. but now that manufacturers have had enough time to perfect their designs, we are now starting to see netbooks that you would be proud to show off. and since they are somewhat small enough to fit in most bags (and maybe even some purses), could netbooks be the next fashion accessory?

white lies are a post-punk indie band from london. their debut album, "to lose my life..." comes out today. their song "death" has a killers' human-esque vibe to it, though i somewhat prefer the former. check out their music video for the song.

EMPIRE OF THE SUN

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 04:17:00 +0000

empire of the sun are an australian duo and their eponymous first track from their first album, walking on a dream, is a 80's synthpop track which feels as epic as the movie that shares the band's name. equally epic looking is the music video for said track, which was shot on location in shanghai:

i believe this will be the sound of 2009, which could as well be the sound of 1989.

Interesting one-click edit. The site I chanced upon transforms your photos into old looking images (including stains, and dirt marks). The whole site is in Japanese, but I know you'd get around because i did. Sometimes it looks good, sometimes it doesn't.

Stumbled upon this website that acts as an online bar! How awesome is that? Now getting drinks (or getting drunk) is closer and more accessible than you think.

ExtraTasty features an online bar where you can create and share your own concoctions to other online drinkers. It basically serves as an online drink recipe bar where members can also rate and tag recipes and drinks that they like. The winning recipes with the most number of ratings and tags get to win the 'Drink of the Day!' title. Plus, you can list down all the ingredients you have in your inventory and ExtraTasty will conjure up recipes for you based on those ingredients.

If you're too lazy to go to a bar, go here instead. :P

TIMESCULPTURE

noreply@blogger.com (miguel) — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:09:00 +0000

This is a new ad for toshiba. It made my jaw-drop to the floor. I used to be so passionate about creating random things, either in photographs, videos, or whatev., and I actually had an awesome time doing it. But, I am losing my mojo, not only because no one really understands the weird things I do, but also because of how school morphs my creative self into a grade-concerned desperado.

Anyway, this inspired me to see the world differently again! hahah

No seriously!!! Come on, it'll take just one minute of your time
