Asgarda.
I LOVE this image. It seems to haunt me.
Something about this is so amazingly kick-ass. I hope it is real. Also I really wish there was an all-female guild in Warcraft called Asgarda!
Best intertubing of the day:
15 creepiest vintage ads of all time
These are my favourite:
What are they even getting at with this one? I will never look at our PB postage meter the same.
HOLY SHIT!!! In this one not only is the ad traumatizing, but the product itself is fucking demented!!!
In what universe was this not totally perverted?
Cutest bento box on earth?
The scary thing is that the answer is probably no.

edit:: Just came across another site… I think actually THIS is the cutest one on earth. I am a bit biased.
CATBUS!

Strexy?
I am starting to find that my first instinct when I come across something cool is to twitter it instead of post it here. Twitter just makes it so quick and easy.
So check out my twitter since I can’t get my twitterfeed to work on here.
Anyway…. NEEDNEEDNEEDNEEDNEEDNEEDNEEDNEED
It really is the hugest shame ever that I probably wouldn’t fit in there.
Also, SO LAME that I don’t have a Star Trek uniform. I am afraid I would want to wear it every day though.
Star, star…
I went all Podcast crazy. I have never really downloaded a Podcast. Jeff downloads The Basketball Jones and we listen to it on the way to work and it kicks ass. But I was visiting the NPR website today in order to download some concerts I used to listen to via their website. When I had my office to myself, and the better computer of the office which was cruelly snatched from me, I was on NPR all day using their flash music player or whatever as I could not install software. I discovered some really great music from there including The Swell Season/Once/Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova/The Frames, Fleet Foxes, and heard some amazing live concerts from these artists as well as Broken Social Scene etc. Anyway, when I was on the site today I smacked my forehead that I could be listening to these all on my ipod. I downloaded a bunch of concerts from NPR, the ones I mentioned as well as Animal Collective, Radiohead and more. I found a few podcasts that seemed interesting including This American Life which people always talk about.
Does anyone have any good podcasts to recommend?
Speaking of The Swell Season, they have some pretty kick ass merchandise. [They are the musicians who star in the film Once.]
They have a DVD too! I so want to see them live. At least you can somewhat emulate the experience with technology. It’s not the same though!
It kills me in their encore in ‘Star, Star’ when they bust into the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the end and he says ‘It’s all yours Charlie!’ *TEARZ* haha.
Only killers call killing progress.
Neat photos of modern St. Petersburg that someone incorporated WWII photos into. Imagination is becoming obsolete!
Aerial London at night.
Here are some amazing photos by Jason Hawkes. <– click for more. Via Boing Boing.
PS: With my old wordpress layout, when I uploaded photos it resized them to fit on my page but linked to a copy of the full size version. Why does it not do that anymore?
BINGO
It is hard for me to even comprehend how great this is.
I recently learned how to be good at Scrabble and it’s no fun at all. My old strategy was make the best, longest word I could, opening up the board to play off of. Now I see that is why I was a repetitive loser. I win now, but it’s hollow, so hollow.
PS: LOOK AT HOW CUTE YOUNG ADULT JEFF IS. AWWWW.
Pretty things.
Inauguration was on at work. I enjoyed Obama’s shout-out to non-believers. It’s about fucking time someone who is president of the United States is saying these things. I hope he is as great as he seems. How shameful that the US has a far more progressive leader than Canada right now. Hopefully this changes soon. Luckily I am apathetic for the most part; my self-absorption with my own issues in life has managed to make me forget the mostly annoying ‘caring’ I used to feel.
I came across a pretty neat artist today.
