Vegas

I’m in Vegas for the weekend. I’ll be back Monday night! This is coming off of a Macbook in the Apple Store in Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas. A black Macbook at that. Man are these keyboards nice…

Oddica shirts arrive

I received my three Oddica shirts in the mail today: Exploded Boombox (pictured), Octopus Incident, and The Undertaker. All of them are incredibly soft and printed with astounding detail and precision. Each shirt comes with stickers, postcards of the shirt designs, and large pins of the purchased t-shirt designs all in a re-sealing bag with more shirt designs on it.

I am extremely happy with the purchase as these are excellent t-shirts with artistic designs which will stand out among the plethora of t-shirts I own.

More pictures after the jump.

US box design for DS Lite confirmed

US box design for DS Lite confirmed:

There you have it. The final package design for the DS Lite doesn’t really wow us all that much, but you can bet the handheld will when it releases in just 18 days.

Finally, now I have an excuse to buy a DS and play the New Super Mario Bros.!

Flaming Lips Announce Summer Tour Dates

Flaming Lips Announce Summer Tour Dates:

The Flaming Lips have announced dates for their summer tour, which begins July 22 in California. The band will be joined by Sonic Youth, Go! Team or Wolfmother at various dates.

They’re going to be in LA while I’m away! But if anyone does happen to be in town when they are in your area, I highly recommend seeing them. Just check out this article about them by an amazing music magazine called Paste. Think of Paste Magazine as Rolling Stone sans the sex, drugs, and mainstream corporation brainwashing. Great musical tastes and articles; they’re going to be big.

Sneak Peek :: Oddica

Sneak Peek :: Oddica:

Oddica.com has an amazing selection of t-shirt designs by artists getting the recognition and royalties an artist deserves.

Artists will share in 41 percent of Oddica’s Net Profit annually and receive Royalties, in perpetuity.
Artists will receive $500 for each commissioned Design. ($250 up front, and $250 when you finish, unless the Design happens to be pre-existing. Immediate PayPal payments are an option, too. (Oddica will pay the PayPal fee.)
Artists will receive an additional $500 for every Reprint. Three Reprints of a single Design, for example, would result in an additional $1,500.

All in all it’s a very good business model and should be able to compete with Threadless if they keep up the good designs.

There was some server trouble with recognizing credit cards on the night their site went live, however, the whole Oddica team is making leaps and bounds to set wrongs to rights. Never have I seen an independent t-shirt company so dedicated to their cause.

From my experience so far with this company (the lightning fast email responses as well as a personal phone call), they can be sure this customer will be coming back for more.

Humans!

Humans!:

Look out, planet Earth! Looks like you have a nasty case of Humans!! A wonderful animated short.

Makes you think; very awesome.

Swimming with Sharks

Swimming with Sharks is an amazing movie about what lengths people will go to in order to get what they really want from life. Kevin Spacey plays a tyrannical boss to a new assistant (Frank Whaley) whose trying to make it in the movie industry.

Black comedy/drama, Kevin Spacey, great story, what more could I ask for.

The Flaming Lips

Not neccessarily a new band since they've been around since 1983, but amazing nonetheless. The Flaming Lips are generally considered avant rock, a type of experimental rock that I've been getting into very much lately.

Holly Williams

An amazing artist and friend of mine just created a new website for her paintings. Check it out.
