BEEN DOWN BUT NOW I’M BACK

July 9th, 2009

Reports of this website‘s “Suspension” have been greatly exaggerated and terribly erroneous. I was long overdue for yet another merry prank from sources in and/or around the awe-inspiring Blue Host conglomerate (web hosts of this remarkable ElectricEggCream curiosity you see before you) and should have casually resigned myself to my fate…alas, I hadn’t. In short: [...]

    • New Board Game Café Welcomes You, But Not Your Laptop August 30, 2010
      Snakes and Lattes on Sunday evening, papered up in advance of its first day of business, which is today. Ben Castanie's new Koreatown café, at 600 Bloor Street West, just east of Palmerston Avenue, will emphatically not have free Wi-Fi. In fact, laptops and their attendant air of isolation are completely counter to what Castanie is trying to do. "I […]

      Here’s a Venn diagram of the US population, the world Muslim population, the overlap, and al-Qaeda. The al-Qaeda dot had to be sized up tenfold in order to be visible. If Islam were really a blood-soaked religion and most Muslims really backed al-Qaeda, wouldn’t they have taken us out already? Found at Osborne Ink. […]

Lord knows what some ground beef would smell like after a week. But the artist Sally Davies has been photographing one McDonald's hamburger and fries every day fo […]

I think it’s the closest I can ever really get to time travel. Found via Chateau Thombeau, a great blog that I recently started reading. […]

      I saw these posters on Unplggd and they made me laugh. They were designed by a Sao Paulo ad agency called Moma. Won’t it be fun to be grandmas and grandpas and see vintage ads for things like the iPhone and feel nostalgic? P.S. — Thank you for all the internet love yesterday (here on Design Mom, on twitter and on facebook) — I’m still grinning ear to ear! […]

    • If Bloomberg Doesn't Finish Third Term, It's 'Cause He Died September 2, 2010
      Because there's rampant speculation (or at least a dearth of pre-Labor Day stories) that he's being wooed for a possible White House job, Mayor Bloomberg was extra-emphatic that he'll finish out his controversial third term at NYC mayor. The Post's David Seifman asked him, "Are there any circumstances under which you would not serve […]
