Tuesday, March 9th, 2010Tired of NYC? Maybe it’s time to look at it in a different way.
Ahhhhh, how refreshing! Brett Camper created the 8-Bit NYC map using “a custom rendering engine, with help from several excellent open source software and data packages.” Why? I believe the more appropriate question would be “why not?”.

Tilt-Shifted New York City
Sunday, February 28th, 2010Having woken up this morning in Brooklyn, I’m feeling especially nostalgic when it comes to New York City. And I don’t mean those fond memories of how Penn Station stunk of guido puke last night or how I witnessed someone literally punch a subway (no, not a sandwich) in a drunken stupor, but rather that [...]
Pigeon On The Subway
Sunday, February 21st, 2010Well would you look at that? That little pigeon is riding the subway. And if I didn’t know any better, I’d say he was enjoying it. Now I understand that pigeons are seen as rats with wings and well, that’s pretty low on the status scale, but having wings to begin with pretty much puts [...]
Tokyo Sky Drive
Friday, February 5th, 2010Hello shiny mirror effect! This is the kind of video I would have playing on my walls in my future house of the future-y future, where every morning I sit inside a humidifying machine that also applies my Pris makeup and inserts a thimble radio into my ear. Man, this cold, bleak and sterile future [...]
Godiva Chocolate Shop In Tokyo
Monday, February 1st, 2010Dear friends,
I have yet another reason to travel to the Harajuku district of Tokyo without dressing up like a toy store exploded in my closet in the hopes of being discovered and therefore being adopted as Gwen Stefani’s best friend. Best friend, accessory, it’s all the same. Anyway, this Godiva shop is literally dripping with [...]
Let’s Go To New Zealand! – Plane Seating Advancements Encourage PDA
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010This fall, Air New Zealand will be introducing a new kind of seating for their more cuddly passengers on their Boeing 777-300ER aircrafts. The first 11 rows of economy will be equipped with a heavy-duty footrest that, when extended on all three seats of a row, makes for a comfy bed for a sleepy couple. [...]
Mini San Francisco
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010What ever happened to predictability? The milk man, the paper boy, evening TV? You miss your old familiar friends, but waiting just around the bend. Everywhere you look there’s a heart (there’s a heart). A hand to hold on to. Everywhere you look there’s a face of somebody who needs you. When you’re lost out [...]
Traveling’s A Gas
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009Because TSA loves wacky suitcases!!!
Seriously though, TSA hates you and they are so happy that someone tried to explode their underwear so they can finally get one step closer to their biggest security wet dream: you in your underwear. Yeah, because there wasn’t enough humility in taking off your shoes and scampering around in your [...]
Time-Lapse Northern Lights
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009There’s something about the Northern Lights that makes me feel so warm and at home, no matter how bitter and cold it is outside. Probably because they used to follow me home from those late night choir practices at school. We were friends like that. I was actually lucky enough to get a peek at [...]
Tour Of The Known Universe
Thursday, December 17th, 2009About 10 minutes ago I walked by Joe’s office and heard all this ambient music pouring out of it. Being me, I decided to drop by and pay him a visit while doing a mystical serpent dance. Joe was in a trance staring at his computer. When he noticed my magical moves he informed me [...]
Russia Has Dogs, London Has Foxes
Monday, December 7th, 2009London Underground commuters were surprised to find that they’d be sharing a ride with a special four-legged furry creature. And we’re not talking about no Russian train dogs here. This passenger was a straight up fox. A stone fox even.
These pictures were taken by shocked commuter Kate Arkless Gray, 29, at Walthamstow Central shortly after [...]
Ferrari Guy (For Hire)
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009… Where do I even begin?
First off, I can’t take credit for finding this on my own. I can’t even give credit to Paul who sent it to me. All credit goes to his special lady, Jen. How the hell she found this, I don’t know and quite frankly, I don’t think I want to. [...]
Greetings From Abroad! – Iceland
Thursday, November 12th, 2009Iceland seems like a strange place to go to enjoy some fine Indian cuisine, but this particular establishment has dined with the likes of Harrison Ford. Sure, Firewall is one of the worst films I’ve ever seen, but he’ll always be Han Solo and Indy to me. According to our waiter, he liked it spicy [...]
First Class The Way It Was… In Some Dude’s Garage
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009There’s a lot of things I would like to keep in my garage if I had one. A car. Some crazy power tools. A sledge hammer and a couple cans of paint. But a Pan-Am first class cabin? Hey, sure. Why not?
When Anthony Toth wants to experience the luxury of flying first class, he doesn’t [...]
Greetings From Abroad! – Iceland
Monday, November 9th, 2009Today’s most addictive purchase: Icelandic licorice.
Trying to explain the amazingness that is Icelandic licorice to someone who has never had Icelandic licorice is impossible. They just don’t understand. So instead of wasting both of our times, let me just explain to you the lengths I go to preserve the fond memories of this stuff.
Apollo Lakrís [...]
Single-Serving Soap
Sunday, November 8th, 2009What if every toiletry that you’d ever need on a trip could be shrunk down to a separately packaged, easily dissolvable, single-serving pop of good hygiene? I’m sure Tyler Durden and his single-serving friends would be impressed. I mean, before he got all bloody and crazy and awesome. Spoiler? Meh, moving on. Just imagine how [...]
Super Color Stairs
Monday, October 26th, 2009Check out these fun stairs in Wuppertal, Germany. I mean, they’re fun in the sense that they’re all a different color (sorry, but not everyone can live Sweden). Anywho, all 112 steps are painted with a different color to express a different emotion. I wonder if they ran out of positive emotions and had to [...]
Vintage Postage Sleeve
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009I’m always in the market to be more like Indiana Jones, and while he has more interest in a fedora than a MacBook, I’d like to think he’d approve of me carrying my work/life/lappy around in this Vintage Postage Sleeve. Sadly, I do have one qualm about the novelty of it all. Why the hell [...]
Powdered Beer
Monday, August 31st, 2009If you thought tubed beer was foul, then brace yourself for powdered beer. Made by the folks who brought you the canned cheeseburger, Powdered Beer is just a bit of H20 away from being beer. Well, that and some alcohol. That’s right, it’s non-alcoholic. Why you’d ever waste your time drinking non-alcoholic powdered is beyond [...]
Twitter Ct.
Monday, July 27th, 2009So apparently there is a Twitter Court in Oakland, California. You know, I can confidently say that I would never want to live there. Not that it’s a bad neighborhood or anything, I just picture a gaggle of people in a cul-de-sac, standing around idly and shouting out what they’re about to do. Hmm, I [...]
