this is gabourey sidibe’s mother, alice tan ridley, singing her heart out underneath port authority on friday night. she really knows how to get a crowd going. i had time to spare before my 9:30 bus, so i stayed for a few songs and really enjoyed it.
see/hear her in action on boingboing.
orbit books creative director lauren panepinto took six hours of her book cover design work and shrunk it down into 1:55, to show us every little tweak that goes into creating a cover.
book cover design has always interested me, and i wish i had the skills, talent, and creativity to work in that field. these are the folks that give you that initial visual experience you have with a book, which, whether you like it or not, affects how you read the story. cover design can make or break a book; there is so much power and influence in the tiniest serif…

this little guy came inside to tell me that i chose the worst weekend, weather-wise, to stay in bed.
friday morning i went down to the oral surgeon’s to have my wisdom teeth extracted. the actual procedure was very comfortable and fast; i had novocaine and nitrous oxide and barely felt a thing, in and out of the chair in a little over an hour. the worst part was not being able to feel the bottom half of my face after i left the office.
sunday though, is a whole different story. i can definitely feel the bottom half of my face now, and in the worst way. i hate having to rely on drugs in order to make it through the day and i avoid it at all costs, but i only lasted an hour after waking up before popping a (lovely, heavenly) pill. these bad boys knock me out pretty well, so most of today is being spent horizontally, drooling on my pillow.

Dogs At 1000 FPS (via gruber)
One of the most accurate YouTube descriptions ever: “It’s dogs in slow-mo catching treats. What could be better?”
I wish all commercials were in slow motion.
there’s something about the slow motion that really anthropomorphizes these dogs more than brian from family guy.
also, shiba!!
Out of Print Clothing. Books on shirts. Shirts on a mission.
DO WANT! ALL OF THEM!
(found via quartercentury)
okay, so if being put on a t-shirt means you’re internet famous, i would like to congratulate salinger, rand, vonnegut, et al, for finally making it on the scene. you now join the ranks of selleckwaterfallsandwich.
bad jokes aside, officially in love with out of print.

I would love to have a print of this cover.
if only the winter that i’ve been trudging through looked as chic as this.
I always have to stop and think when setting a border radius in CSS, so I built a tool for it: border-radius.com.
Resource of the year.
holy yes.
