The online universe as a confessional has become more and more prevalent, people sharing their deepest, darkest thoughts, quite often with complete — uncaring — strangers. Text Secret is the latest entry in the market, a haven through which you can ‘vent your deepest secrets via the site, text message or email’.

Now, here’s a blog we can all relate to. How often have you visited your folks place only to be taken aback by the sheer proliferation of bizarre kick-knacks that have accrued since your last time there? Right? Right!

‘Can we get that team that built Rome in a day?’ is just one of the E-Cards designed to politely let your boss know that the project you’ve been working on, well, it’s ‘effed’. I’m all about metaphors, and what better way to give the disaster update that’s way too awkward to give in person than to send an e-card saying, ‘How did I get in this creek? And who has my paddle?.

For those events when the force is just not on your side, there is this button, which is similar to the Staples ‘that was easy’ button, only instead of helping you get school supplies, this button will help you express your extreme disappointment: whether it’s about a breakup, losing your job, or realizing that your plan to overthrow the Empire failed. This button is there for you when you can’t scream on your own.

If 90 percent of the people who leave comments on the internet were allowed only to post on Just Comments, a website that has nothing but comments, the world might be a better place.

So Facebook wasn’t around when some of the most calamitous and significant events in history went down (literally, in the case of the Titanic). But if it had been, our friends at Cool Material have envisioned the sort of disarmingly blasé responses they would have received. Read more

Our friends over at Oddee have compiled a brilliant selection of photos cataloging the random (and not so random) wearing of totally inappropriate t-shirts. You have to wonder what some people are thinking? Or not, as the case may be. Read more

Memo to our music editor: do not cross paths with indie band Deer Tick. Why? Well, Zach Kelley, a writer at Pitchfork, that self-proclaimed champion of indie cool, dared to give the band’s Black Dirt Sessions a poor review — and a 5.6 rating — and the band bit back. As our friends over at URLesque have noted, they posted the review on their Facebook page, with a photo of Kelley which hints liberally at his uber-music nerd status, ‘with no talent, making a living tearing down the hard work of others’.

These very sweet folks from Seattle supported Broken Social Scene on our last American dates of the Spirit IF tour. Although they haven’t quite hit their stride as a live outfit, the tunes from songwriter Grant Olsen have some very lovely moments that fall somewhere between Velvet Underground and The Everly Brothers. I think Arthur and Yu could take over from where Grandaddy left off, though with better songs. No offense to Grandaddy.
Who says telling the time should be an easy task? Pleasing to the eye, not so much on the brain, Nooka watches are arguably more concerned about aesthetics than it is about function. Created by artist and designer, Matthew Waldman, its bar graph-like function lets wearers see, rather intuitively and visually, that time has passed by. We love it, but good luck trying to work out exactly how much time has gone by.
