The Octonauts
Meomi’s Octonauts characters make me wish I was a kid again, but I’m a huge fan regardless. Cute!

Animated Video – U2
The video for U2’s I’ll Go Crazy if I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight. U2 – I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight from David OReilly on Vimeo.
Sita Sings the Blues
If you haven’t had the pleasure of watching Sita Sings the Blues, then I recommend it highly. It is animated as beautifully as 10,000 lotuses. More importantly, it is being made available under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license by…
KERN for Fun
I’m really digging KERN, a game for the iPhone. Despite the rather mundane sounding premise, it is wholly addictive if you’re one of those detail oriented designy types (with a few minutes to kill and an iPhone, of course). Elegant…
A Walnut Key (at long last!)
The idea is that you insert the sharp point into the seam of a walnut – just in the back where it actually grows from the tree (the flat part). I have to note this find here as proof that…
Sometimes It’s Like This in My Head
I'm almost afraid to admit that I haven't found a blog so gratuitously entertaining to read, ever. It's like my inner monologue after being awake for 3 days straight eating nothing but Allsorts. I must be living under a rock. Where have you been all my internet life Hipster Runoff?
RISD Alumni Art Sale
This Saturday, 03 May 2008, is the Rhode Island School of Design’s Spring Alumni Art Sale (whew, say that 10 times). Since I live in Alaska I won’t be going, but am delighted to be able to look through some…
Robot Nixon
“All hail robot Nixon”, and other similarly inspiring quotes are shining example as to why Futurama is infinitely entertaining. (No, I shouldn’t be working – I’m on lunch).
Lisa Stevens’ Ceramics
I follow Lisa (aka c-urchin) on Flickr for her tiny ceramic creations that resemble tiny sea creatures, but from time to time she posts a photo of something that is truly stunning. This time it is this amazing vessel from day 141. The texture is gorgeous:
You can see more of her work at Flickr or see what is available on Etsy.
Imaginary Instrument
Though this video was released quite some time ago I totally missed it until now. The funny thing is that the site I saw it on first didn’t say anything about the instrument being real or fake and I thought…
Coasters From Sesame Letterpress
Sesame has a collection of letterpress printed coasters that would make me sacrifice the finish on my table to save these beautiful coasters from the swelling ravages of water. Gorgeous. You can view their creations in their Flickr photoset.
Super Happy Fun Time Friday
Actually on a Friday this time. Hell just might freeze over today.
- Piwik - Weird to say, but cool in concept. This is a web statistics tracking project aimed to develop a open source competitor to Google Analytics.
- jQuery Tutorial - Think jQuery can do cool things, but don't think you're up to par? This tutorial is a good place to get started if haven't yet gotten the hang of it (like me).
- Custom laser engraved stuff from moleskines to laptops. The laptops are particularly beautiful. Too bad these Flickr photos aren't organized into a set of all this guys engraving or I would link directly to it. [via Brian Faust - who also has an awesome Friday list]

Photophlow: Flickr’s Live Community
Around Christmas time I received an invite to Photophlow and had such a fun time chatting with other Flickr users there that I really wanted to blog about it. I was swamped back then and am finally getting around to…
Inappropriate Touching?
Is it possible to enjoy the feel of a web site too much? You know, in a way that is flattering it at first, but then you can’t stop because of one overly-gratifying, sexy feature it has? Is there a…
Lipsum Cuffs
I’d really like to have one of these – but I would LOVE to have two so I could run around like Wonder Woman deflecting poorly set type with my giant bracelets. You know, like a sort of anal-retentive super…
Yo Gabba Gabba
While reading this month’s issue of Print, or some magazine of similar content, an article about the new kids’ show Yo Gabba Gabba caught my eye. Not being a kid, or even having any can be a huge disadvantage, particularly…
Beaker as Caffeine Test Subject
It has been crazy at work and all the way around, so posting has been scarce. At times like this, coffee is a must at all times of the day. Fortunately, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his trusty assistant Beaker are…
Baker’s Edge Recipes
While I can’t help but make fun of novelty bake ware, the Recipes page on the Baker’s Edge website all sound extremely tasty right about now… Ganache and Peanut Butter Layered Brownies Rocky Road Brownies Friendship Bars Bailey’s Cheesecake Bars…
Happy Fauschnaut Day!
Where I come from Fat Tuesday is known as Fauschnaut Day. Traditionally my family celebrates this day by getting the best doughnuts they can find and having a little party before Lent begins. While we were never strict observers of…
Sleeeep
A company named Zyren has an interesting "clock" that they are marketing as the sleep system Night Cove that controls the ambient light in your environment. As a huge fan of sleep I can only imagine the endless hours of well managed, scientifically crafted sleep it could provide - just the thing for the wonky winter nights in Alaska. Despite my torrid love affair with sleep I remember the days when I was a morning person and I miss them. [via]
Super Happy Fun Time Friday
Things that have caught my eye today that I wish I had time to look at more, but will probably have to wait until I get home because of all the things that need to get finished before the weekend…
Things Her Boyfriend Says
Alright, this website has been circulating around and I've seen it mentioned on a few of my regular reads. Things My Boyfriend Says posts hilarious snippets of conversation between a girl and her boyfriend, and I'm sorry I didn't visit it earlier because I fell off my chair from laughter.
Art Nouveau Aliens
I love this image by Carlos Schwabe posted at BibliOdyssey. It reenforces a sneaking suspicion – looking at H.R. Giger’s work – that there is something reminiscent of art nouveau in his organic sinew (Alien and Necronomicon). The gratuitously dark…
Postcards from an Astronaut
Scott Listfields astronaut paintings are amazing snapshots of the observer as an astronaut, caught in the act of observing. [Via forestandthetrees]
