Nitrome!

So I used to go to miniclip a lot to play some random games. And then, brace yourselves, I discovered Nitrome! Nitrome creates awesome games with those cool pixel-y effects. And most of the games have cool twists that set them apart from all the others. I can never wait for their next game to come out so I can play it.

Design By Humans

Ok guys, check this out. There's this T-shirt business online called DesignByHumans. It's sort of like Threadless, as in account members design the t-shirts and Design by Humans prints and sells them. Their T-shirts are pretty much awesome! I got this one called "Blackbird's Attackin' in the Dead 'O' Night." It's hand printed so every shirt is unique. If you're going to buy one though, keep in mind that their sizes run a little small.

Bluehouse Group

Hello again everyone. I apologize for my lazy lack of posting, hah. Today I visited a web design group based near Burlington, Vermont. It was quite a refreshing experience. Just the office space is inspirational. The brightly painted walls are decorated with cool graphic design-ish posters. And sweet Simpsons, Futurama and other figurines/knickknacks are placed about. Plus, they have a bunch of Macs (love!). As you can imagine, living in Vermont, places like Bluehouse Group are hard to find. It's so fun when you stumble upon things like this in the most unlikely places.

Modcloth rules!

Modcloth is an online store that sells all kinds of clothing, accessories and apartment items. They have a very unique style, I would say a sort of vintage, urban outfitters style. I love it! They also have a One of a kind section on their online store, for those wanting to be super-unique, haha.

Linkin' Park, Coheed and Cambria, Chiodos

Oh my goodness! Last night (February 22, 08) My best friend, my brother and his friend and I went to The Bell Center, Montreal to see Chiodos, Coheed and Cambria, and Linkin' Park. So when we got there we had to wait in line for a bit and Chiodos, the band we were going there to see, started playing while we were outside. NOOO, so we missed a song or two by them. But they were still AMAZING! And then we left our seats to go get autographs from Chiodos, and we got to meet them and Craig signed out shirts. It was nothing short of amazing. We also told them they should go to Vermont, hehe.
So then Coheed and Cambria started playing, while we were in line to get autographs. They were pretty good I thought.
Then there was Linkin' Park. Normally I don't like their music that much, but they were really good on stage. I would definitely recommend seeing them, even if you don't totally love their music.

Here are a few pictures of Chiodos, enjoy!

PingMag

"PingMag in one word: Inspiration.

PingMag in one sentence: About Design and Making Things!

PingMag in detail: PingMag is an online design magazine based in Tokyo. Defining the term design as broadly as we can, PingMag writes about ideas and inspiration coming from both world class designers, and from the little store on the corner. We look at everything; product design, packaging, architecture, web design, typography, illustration, photography, fashion, programming, graphics, video, art, toys, traditional crafts, graffiti, set design…. anything, in fact, that we consider inspiring and we think will excite you too.

We’re sure that there is so much to be learnt from both the very big fish, and from the amazing local artist you’ve never heard about before. And a rapidly growing readership proves that we can’t be too wrong! Design is unlimited. It can be found in anything, anywhere, anytime. PingMag has the honor to spend time finding those treasures and talking to those people who put love and thought into creating." -The About section of PingMag
