She goes by the name the Sexy Granny. Apparently.

Some Russian entertainment. Best not consumed with food.

Unhappy Hipsters – Rich People and Clinical Living

Posted by The Design Assassin (Admin) On July - 31 - 2010

I remember liking this blog when it first started. And least it seems to be updated with much more regularity these days.

Sarcasm meets the modern world. A nice deconstruction.

So despite the term ‘hipster’ being used these days as a general reference to tight-jean wearing, educated, artsy, anaemic types, this blog is not about that kinda hipster.
It depicts house owners in their uber-modern abodes, generally ripped from the pages of Dwell magazine, somewhat recontextualised with witty comments.

Embrace Your Inner Rock Star, Yeah!

Posted by The Design Assassin (Admin) On May - 9 - 2010

Having been part of the music industry for many years, I can honestly say that I have never encountered this LIVE. Hopefully I never have to.

I think inspiration is drawn from a range of sources – everyone from Iggy Pop to a 1980’s Schwarzenegger, with a hint of Hippy-Artist-who-likes-Nudist-Camps thrown in for good measure.

I present,

Best Safety Video Ever!

Posted by The Design Assassin (Admin) On March - 24 - 2010

As if this German Forklift Safety video isn’t the best safety video ever!!!!!!

I’m sure the script writer was channelling Monty Python (or taking acid) when he concocted this one. CLASSIC! It’s Gold…

Oh Klaus – when will you everĀ  learn??

Rejected – Best Oscar Award Winner Movie

Goes for 10 minutes so you may want to watch it when you have a Smoko – do these excuses for breaks even exist anymore, or is there a workplace ban on them too? Make sure you catch the end where it gets more creative ;-)

OK so it’s an oldie but a goodie. Oh to have the time on my hands to do my own creative ventures… :roll: Soon darlings, soon…

The Oatmeal – why it’s better to read than eat

Posted by The Design Assassin (Admin) On March - 4 - 2010

Today’s offering is a link to a website I like to check out every so often during “rendering time”… Meet Mathew Inman. A nutty web nerd who makes great cartoons, comics, quizzes and silly shit that is really entertaining.

Why? Cuz even a workhorse designer needs some humor in his/her/its life occasionally, and this guy makes me laugh.

I only need to post one link as there is enough on his site to keep you entertained for some time. Providing you have a sense of humor of course…

Some of the appropriate-to-me comics are included the following:

The Little Beatboxer that Couldn’t…

Posted by The Design Assassin (Admin) On February - 10 - 2010

Meet Shane Lee – budding musician, karaoke champion, Beatbox Master, video-blogger…you name it.

Some of his YouTube repertoire includes hits and classics such as “You Spin Me Right Round,” “500 Miles” and “I’m Too Sexy.” There are covers of what I think are supposed to be ZZ Top tunes. There are Tributes to Michael Jackson, and he does a fantastic job of mutilating such tunes as Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer”, and the Gunners’ “Sweet Child O’Mine”… Oh Lordy, without further ado, I introduce you to Shane Lee. Cue the canned applause. Thank you and take it away…

There was something about Mary. There is also something about me... You can read more over at the REAL website www.theDesignAssassin.com

I shall tell you all about it when i actually come up with a reasonable blurb as to what is so special about me and have drafted something to write in this space - which i am filling with dummy text so it doesnt look so bare.

Speaking of bare, bear with me as I get this shindig sorted! FINALLY :)
