Pure genius, a great way to have fun with type. Craig Oldham created this typeface after overhearing someone say ” that type is indecent!”

Another link I came across CNET spam (a internal CNET mailing list) that was sent out was this blog called “ Garfield minus Garfield” where Garfield is removed from all the comic strips. So Jon Arbuckle (Garfield’s owner) basically speaks to himself creating the illusion of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and loneliness. check out Garfield minus Garfield and read Garfield like you never read it before.

Here is the blurb for Garfield minus Garfield

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb.

Ran across another blog called Centripetal Notion which had this amazing artist called Brian Dettmer. His work is Books that are carved out around artwork to create these three-dimensional master piece sculptures. I had to do a project slightly in this direction in Experimental Book Design at my undergrad at SUNY Purchase in NY. I carved out a book and filled it with Blue tinted resin to make it look like a lake, these by far excel what I created. I love the whole concept of taking a work of art (the book) and creating another art form from it.

When people ask me what is a twitter?, the answer never comes out 100% clear. This video sums up twitter in 2minutes and 25 seconds. The people at Common Craft created the clever video and you can see more video explanations at http://commoncraft.com/show

Someone at my work set this through our misc. email list called “spam”. This is great, I was into science growing up. I would have loved it then and have to try it now. I haven’t downloaded it but I will.
