Argh! How much it would suck to be his off-spring. “What would you like me to throw at you tonight? Knives or darts?”

This Russian guy is a policeman with a penchant for playing like Carney Folk. Oh contrare! Take a look at the video to see what he subjects his two daughters too.

True – the mind is such a malleable object and pain is subjectable; therefore it makes sense that one can learn to ‘control’ the pain response. However…holy crap. I for one would not like to be his human dart-board, or sideshow cohort. Ouchy.

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.

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… Soon darlings, soon…

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:

I realise i’ve been rather busy of late – pre-occupied with getting better and managing an ever growing To-Do-List (yes, i really do love my Lists ). So these posts are more a general collection of “stuff” I stumble across on the interwebs.

Oh well…something’s better than nothing, right? Here’s a short clip with a bunch of downhill skaters, each with neon Tetris shapes on their heads. The aerial view is kinda cool in a cheap thrills kinda way. But i like the idea.

Got time to kill while you download massive files over the interwebs? Instead of surfing the net aimlessly, you could at least learn something random.
