Matt Kish drew a picture for every page of Moby Dick. If you haven’t read it, just know this: it’s a really long book. I think it took him two years. Read more

We recently finished this short comedy about a couple guys at a BBQ who both show up wearing hats that say #1 Dad. It’s also an homage to my own dad, whose birthday was last week.

I already mentioned how much I like black and white nature photography in a post about Jeff Brown. Well, here’s Karen Glaser, with some more work depicting the underwater world of sharks and rays with beautiful, dark film grain. Old school look for old school lifeforms. Read more

I liked the idea of broadcastr, an app that lets you record personal stories and pin them to a particular location, letting others stumble across them as they careen through cities using their iPhones like narrative-sniffing bloodhounds. Read more

This mid-length documentary by John Rogers about British ‘deep topographer’, Nick Papadimitriou really moved me. I’ve been both intrigued by the potential of psychogeography and put off by all its obtuse, pseudo-intellectual trappings. But Nick Papadimitriou transcends the bullshit. Read more

My pal, Alex Pappas, is developing a site with his partner, Ruby Ku, which allows people in a particular place to organize and teach (or take) small classes on pretty much any subject you they imagine. If you can do it, you can teach it. Teach a man to fish, right? I’m behind it all the way.

My sister runs an after-school college prep program in the Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco. She loves fashion, but is also very frugal. She keeps a very funny blog about the most exorbitant, ridiculous fashion items around. I don’t care about fashion myself, but I find her blog to be good for a laugh (and sometimes, a cry.)

Security cameras are a double-edged sword. Usually, big brother uses them against us. But sometimes, the tables turn. This film looks like it could be one such example.

I just found Jeff Brown’s stuff. I love black and white nature photography. Especially underwater photography. You just don’t see it that often (at least not anymore). Read more

I found Jon Rafman through his collection of incredible photos culled from Google street view (The Nine Eyes of Google Streetview). Here’s a touching, lonely, machinima-style film he made about the tragic compulsion to rack up high scores in video games.

Stop-motion and shaving go really well together. That’s why we’ve seen a lot of great stop-motion facial hair videos in the last few years: like the guy who walked across China for a year, growing his beard, frame by frame (admittedly, the beard wasn’t really the point of the film). Here’s our version. One mustache. One side burn. One soul patch. About 500 photos.
A perfect blend of chaos and order, Tokyo-based Italian designer Roberto Calbucci’s drawings stem from esoteric and abstract trains of thought he has. They look rather like schematics for imaginary machines of the distant future. Read more
If your house was burning down, but you had time to grab only your most important possessions, what would you take? The Burning House asks this question to a range of people, revealing each person’s priorities and values.
The Hatton hotel epitomises Melbourne cool. Those who value design, location, and luxury will find The Hatton the perfect Melbourne base. Read more
What can’t Jay Z do? Not content with having recorded the contemporary tribute to Gotham City, the all round entrepreneur has just launched an online lifestyle magazine called Life and Times, which the mighty one will personal curate.
I almost forgot — metal is really about being drunk, pissed, offensive, and satanic. I have Bestial Mockery to thank for this. Their no-frills black thrash is barebones and snarling without being too dead-pan serious. These guys from Sweden are clearly having a blast worshiping the Dark One in the tradition of old-school bands like Venom, early Bathory, and Sodom. Nothing too original here, but it’s fun as hell.
Cuffs are pretty glam right now and I’m particularly feeling those by Leethal Fashion Accessories. They also have a huge range of stylish jewellery such as bangles, rings, brooches, and earrings, all for less than $50.
