clearly, I am great at wasting time

Monitoring the type shop. (most of the doodles on the desk are mine too, shhhh!) 15 days left until everything is due calls for some serious stress-induced procrastination. I know I’ll get it all done, but I just can’t face it right now. hhhhhhhhhhh deep breath :P

Google Translate can Beatbox!

I know this is a bit outside my usual, but it’s pretty funny.

The next big thing in Electronic music: go to Google Translate; copy this text:

pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk

Pick German as the ‘from’ language; Press the ‘Listen’ button, which at this point will say “beatbox” :P

(I didn’t come up with this by the way, it was in my newsfeed on Facebook)

drop clock

You may have noticed I have a thing for clocks… :P Here’s a neat screen saver for ya. Drop clock, by src. Every minute of real time is numerically expressed with heavy Helvetica dropping into water in super slow-motion. I’ve been told it’s a video not a rendering, but their site doesn’t say anything specific. It’s free to try, and $15 to license. (though I’m not sure how long the trial is. my friend says it doesn’t matter) You can choose to have a white background or a black background.

send me something cool and I’ll post it!

Hey guys! So you see the kind of stuff I post. If you’ve got something interesting you’d like me to share, comment here and I’ll feature your post if it matches what I like to post about :) I’d love your feedback or suggestions to make this more reader friendly. Thanks for reading/looking/whatever you do! Love you guys!

Just for kicks here’s a sketch I did in 2008 in San Juan, Argentina (click to enlarge). It’s on my website, if you want to see more like it. There’s a water color on the next page, hence the color in the seam :) I never have time to draw like this anymore. I miss it.

Lovely bottles

For your daily dose of Lovely Package, a few pretty bottles. For those of you not celebrating three weeks of final exams and projects, I hope you had an excellent drinko de mayo last night. I got to studio at 7:30 this morning. On a Sunday. It’s crunch time. So no drinko till the endo. Sorry bad pun (I’m actually fluent in Spanish, I know that adding an O to the end of everything is stupid-american-talk :P ) Graduation is in 28 days!! (which means only 18 days left to finish everything…)
