- Super lovely video animation introducing the 2010 Olympic Mascots… Really like the visual style of this. Looking for more bits of illustration and animation at the moment that do landscapes in interesting ways…
- Ridiculous hysteria and computer illiteracy evident in this trailer for “Untraceable” From the idea of an untraceable website, through to seeing every keystroke because you’ve got access to someone’s wireless network… Bunk! Bunk I tell you! He hacked into my car’s computer! Can you hear me rolling my eyes?
- The BBC has lost Neighbours to Five, and is now commissioning a new Australian soap opera to fill the gap… Seems a little over-literal to me. Next on the BBC: 23! Will John Bayer be able to stop terrorists who have made time run slightly faster in this taut near-real time drama that’s been sped up by 1/24th?
- There’s some absolutely beautiful work going on at LouLou Illustrations… Just gorgeous. Inspirational. Beautiful. Really really nice.
- I can’t quite believe that I’m linking to the Daily Mail, but there you go – a series of ridiculously appalling sexist adverts from (mostly) the first half of the 20th Century When I was at University I met a lot of people who found the idea of feminism silly and gross and couldn’t imagine why anyone would be such a weird radical. This is why! That we’ve come so far as a culture is down to them.
- Incredibly awesome lego-related t-shirt for depressives… “Where is my happy face?” I might have to have that. Sending it to Cal first though.
- Lovely design blog with a fascinatingly wonderful logo: It’s Nice That It’s just so gorgeous. I can’t stand how gorgeous it is. It’s so fucking nice. Now I’m swearing. Jesus Tom, what the hell’s wrong with you?
