  Windows 98, Fatal Crash & the skin

  07.31.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  Tattoos against the norm, or Bill Gates personally? Stumbled upon this amazing Window 98 inspired tattoo (or is that uninspired?) on this site. The tattoo is the text from the crash screen: “A fatal exception OE has occurred at 8137:BFFA21…..” Yikes! I think I need to get that mac spinning wheel tattooed somewhere now. […]

  I’ve been using Google for such a long time now, much to my surprise when I decided to us Yahoo! this morning, I found a whole new content page.

  A fiend and colleague introduced me to Tom Fishburne’s BRAND CAMP cartoons. His work is really great, content and theme all centered around branding and marketing. The comic below just arrived in my inbox reminding me of yet another modern dilemma. What to do?

  I really enjoyed this video of a Stefan Sagmeister talk at the 2004 TED conference. Not surprisingly, one of Sagmeister’s source of happiness comes from design, therefore his talk walks us through his experiences of happiness and bliss through design.

  I see this as a sea of change. The more communications […]

  Scientists are using the forested slopes of a Mexican volcano as a test bed to see if trees could grow on Mars, part of an experiment of making the chilly and barren planet habitable for humans. Scientists at NASA and Mexican universities believe if they can warm Mars using heat-trapping gases, raise the air pressure […]

  Ah, yes summertime in L.A. Everybody’s hot, clammy and dying to be at the pool, beach, or sitting in front of an air conditioner. Speaking of air conditioners, I’ve noticed something that I’d like to share. It sparked an Idea, and at first I thought hmmm, I could pitch this to a company and get […]
