It's the Weekly What? for Friday, March 2nd.
So much good stuff, so little time to goof off.We've been accused recently of supporting the development of ever shorter attention spans and contributing to the endumbening of the general populace. We don't think that's true at all, why... hey! What's that shiny thing over there? We've got another stellar newsletter for you this week, just stuffed full of super-awesome things that most normal people wouldn't understand. So high fives all around! We're all now part of one big AV Club! Anyway, there's tons more waiting for you on our Facebook page. Get your bad self over there and check out everything else you're missing! Oh, and while you're there, leave an answer to the Weekly What? question: "In elementary school, did you eat school lunch or did your mom pack a lunch for you? BONUS: What kind of lunch box did you have?" We'll see you there! 
What can you do with old crayon bits and stubs?Yeah, we're sure you know about melting down a handful of old crayons into silicone baking molds or muffin cups, but there's more you can do. Here's a little roundup of some nifty uses for crayon bits-n-pieces. The coolest one by far is the trick of taping a row of them to the top of a canvas (or board) and pointing a hair dryer at them until they melt into pop-art runny, streaky coolness. And who doesn't love to melt stuff?? Space. The final frontier...We loooooove web "toys" like this. While this particular widget is called "Neonflames" the resulting squiggles (technical art term) sure look enough like nebulae to us! Click on a colored circle and then move your pointer into the blank area. Click and hold and "draw." The longer you linger, the more intense and detailed the nebulous shapes will become. It's entrancing! What? It's 5pm already? >> Gratuitous mention of "Repo Man"We were sitting around thinkin' about "Repo Man" and suddenly we find this interview with director Alex Cox. Just out of the blue. No explanation. (Well, "Repo Man" is coming out on Blu-ray in places other than the US. Boo.) Here's an idea for lunch: let's go get some sushi and not pay! >> iPhones! What can't they do, amiright or amiright?There's an app for just about everything, right? Well, how about this: cooking. Nooo. Not recipes. Actual cooking. Behold the iPhone stove! Careful! It's hot! >> Today in privacy...You could lose your job over spending too much company time watching videos of kittens and cats on Roombas. Seriously. All the IT crowd has to do is check your Google browsing history. Boom, you're toast. Here's your last chance to clear out all the damning information held by Google's Skynet. Yeah, we're all jokey about this, but the data collected by Google so far could reveal sensitive information about you. Go read the article >> A social media minute...You have noooo idea just how much stuff is going on in social media in a mere 60 seconds. What someone is having for lunch tweeted a bazillion times. A million-jillion videos of people falling off trampolines, monkeys riding pigs, and various and sundry clips of obscure TV shows are uploaded. Likes, links, follows. It boggles the mind! Just a minute, I need to tweet about a YouTube video I saw on Facebook... >> Getting packages to people overnight? Hah! You may as well promise to deliver pizzas in 30 minutes or less!Here's a fun (and tall!) infographic detailing some of the more interesting bits of trivia about some big brands and well known companies. (Make sure you click on the graphic to zoom in.) It makes for some fun reading. You'll be awesome and/or tedious at the next company party. A Baby Ruth on a parachute? That's better than one in the pool... >> It's an auto rainbow! All across the sky!From a distance, sooo pretty. Up close? Wow. That's a lot of Hotwheels! Oooo, auto rainbow! >> What a graphic designer looks for when watching a movie...Dionoco. SCDP. Buy N Large. Weyland-Yutani. Ring a bell? All fake corporations in movies (and games). So yeah, a graphic designer is on the edge of their seat watching out for these bits of fake brand identity. Sort of ruins things for other movie-goers to have a fictional logo critiqued on the spot. "Would you shut it and eat some Milk Duds?!" Who ya gonna call? >> Breakfast in bed? Breakfast IS bed!Waffle bed with syrup sheets? What's not to love. Fruit pillows! Could you imagine if the fabric were scented like maple syrup and butter? We'd never get out of bed! Zzzzz >> Share the fun with a friend! It's easy, just click the "Forward email" link below. They'll be glad you did! |
