Ending 2009

Regardless, here's a handful of things to get you through the remainder of the year.

Links of the Misc Variety

RGS Xmas Gift Guide - granted it's probably too late to order anything from here but this is one of the oddest Gift Guides I've encountered. There are two items for making your own butter? A Cannibal Curry bath mix? Treadmill for dogs? A CCTV Birdhouse (awesome)? And …

Digital Short: Tizzle Wizzle

Say what you will about SNL as a whole but the Digital Shorts are, hands down, the best part of the show. The Lonely Island guys honestly rejuventated the show and it's great to partake in their offerings. The latest, The Tizzle Wizzle Show, is ridiculous, absurd, …

25 Unlikely Animal Friends

This list of 25 Unlikely Animal Friendships is a particularly pleasant way to properly warm up to the undeniable holiday season. Granted, there are two "friendships" in there that are questionable in their legitimacy at best but the rest, heart warming gold.

Library of Wales

I often use the Smithsonian Flickr as a source of inspiration and fodder for my design pieces but I'm officially adding the National Library of Wales to that list as well. With gems like this, how could you not?

The Facebook Holiday Gift

While my feelings on Facebook itself may be torn there is no denying the appeal of their Holiday Gift, sent out to favored advertisers and other clients. They went absolutely nuts designing a 19 x 19 print, embossed and foiled with loads of intricate details. It even …

We Own This Town: Volume 30: Best Of 2009

Being curator of We Own This Town means I get to hear a lot of local music throughout the year and keep myself keen on what's going on around town. It also means that I feel obligated to filter that intake into a somewhat more wrangled list of Best Of when the time …

Lake Fever Sessions at Next Big Nashville

The past few years here in town Nashville has had a festival called Next Big Nashville - sort of our cities take on SXSW focusing on bands from the Nashville area and southern regions. It's still growing but gets better every year. This past year, NBN 2009, the guys …

Mag+

BERG London has a great article about a proposed Mag+ device, sort of a next generation Kindle for magazines. There is an accompanying video that goes into some detail about how the device would work and what the interface might look like. It looks pretty fantastic on …

Behind Fantastic Mr. Fox

There's a great set of photos that have popped up on Flickr showing some of the behind the scenes workings of the filming of The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Love images like this that show the filming in action. Be sure to view the entire set.

Fav Save

Fav Save seems to work along the same lines as FFFFound does - find something worthwhile online, save it into your FavSave repository. The difference between the two being that FFFFound is restricted to images, FavSave documents videos (and possibly more) as well. It's …
