This was once a blog where I shared many, many things, most of which were awesome. Somewhere around fall 2009, I got a big-kid media job and no longer can keep up with this old thing. There's some good stuff hanging around here though. You should check it out.

There goes Your Morning : I Love TV Intros

As previously expressed, one thing that I absolutely love is typography in video, whether it be movie titles, television bumps, etc.  I Love TV Intros is a online collection of just that-tv show intros, organized by decade and alphabetical(!).  I get really nostalgic about my childhood tv favorites, so this was just a real treat...

Font Bureau vs. NBC: Stealing isn’t cool

News in the design world is that Font Bureau, one of the largest type design companies in the country, are taking NBC to court for the unlicensed use of several of their popular fonts.  In a suit for ‘no less that $2 million,’ Font Bureau indicates that NBC used Bureau Grotesque, Interstate and Antenna on...

The Beatles : Rock Band

So, like most every other American, European, Canadian, or some one with access to a radio or another human being, I become a fan of the Beatles in middle school.  I was 12 and had just watched “A Hard Day’s Night” at my grandparents with an older cousin.  And at that point, I knew that...

Co-Op Stamp : Belgium 1970

This is a great find from over at GrainEdit: a postage stamp promoting ‘international coopertaive alliance” from Belgium.  Three cheers, this is awesome.  I love the repetitive style and the orange used. And I’m pretty sure that typeface in the orange field is a straight rip-off of the ABC logo designed by Paul Rand in...

Rockin’ Robin DTV Music Video

As a small child, I always loved the DTV (Disney TV) music video specials they would show on ABC or around the holidays. So many pop songs, so many random mashups! Anyways, I was bumming around on BestWeekEver today, and they had this DTV Video to the song Rockin’ Robin, and it’s actually very intertaining....

Illustration : Ward Jenkins

Warm, fun, and great illustration and animation work by Ward Jenkins out of Portland.  Ward has been doing animation and illustration for a long time, working in both Atlanta and Portland. I just love his style.  It’s very mid-century style illustration but with a warmth and personality that I really dig.  Definitely check out the...

Cartoon Modern : Fifties Animation

Animation and illustrations from the 50s through the late 60s probably have to be my favorite style of all time.  I just dig all of it–the colors, the line work, the angles….Just awesome. Anyways, Cartoon Modern is a great little blog that follows the development of a book of the same name that shows and...

Sesame Street Animation @ Hulu

Over on Hulu, you can watch a bunch of Sesame Street clips, which is sweet. But what is even sweeter is that they have a BUNCH of their animations, which just totally made my days. These where always some of my favorite parts of the show as a kid QUESTION: Does anyone else get this...

Look what I found…

Ben Gibbard * plaid shirt + John Krasinski / Celtics = best Last.fm photo ever. You’re welcome.

I don’t care who you are…

This is hilarious. Thank you, Doogie Howser. I really needed this.

Mr. Rogers saves PBS

In 1969, when the funding for PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was running out of support in the government, Mr. Fred Rogers himself spoke at a Senate hearing, saving his show and education television for good. Fantastic speech and gracious words from a wonderful man who did so many years of good. Found...

Tiger Woods does it again…

Over at TinyGigantic, a great design blog that usually leaves nothing to the imagination when it comes to ripping someone a new one or giving their thoughts, posted an interesting blurb today 1. about the idea of dialogue in branding and marketing and 2. about what I think it a really funny ad with Tiger...
