RUBBER JOHNNY
CHRIS CUNNINGHAM
So director Chris Cunningham finally released his film short, Rubber Johnny. For those that know Chris' work (Bjork - "All is full of love", Madonna - "Frozen", etc.), I am sure you will find this short, expectedly disturbing which Cunningham reportedly took one year to do. The DVD is out to for order, but I found a link to an .swf of the video and a recent interview.

PRODUCT DESIGN
CABLE YOYO
ULTRA-THIN CORD MANAGEMENT
Laptops, chargers, digital cameras and other wireless devices would benefit from this product which allows you to store coiled wire in tight places... site's not too shabby either.

TOKYO
"You Harajuku girls, damn you've got some wicked style." -Gwen Stefani
Exactly what I thought of when I saw this site- exploring the Tokyo fashion/art scene. Nice touch on the site's navigation. Easily accessible and intuitive.

ANIMATION AND DESIGN
The Gorillaz are hot right now. Just thought I'd drop this URL from a studio responsible for an animated video from their last album.

VIRAL MARKETING
TRAILER CRASHERS
VIRAL BRILLIANCE
When I started telling everyone Jeremy and I started acting on the side, nobody wanted to believe us so I have a link to the trailer we both ended up in. Take a look at this viral marketing brilliance and who knows, you too can be famous.

OIL
So this guy decided his computer was running too hot so he decides to submerge it under vegetable oil to cool it down. Funny thing is, it actually works.

FEATURED VIDEO
DAVID CARSON
HILLMAN INTERVIEW
The man that many 300 dpi'S worship, known for his highly acclaimed Raygun Magazine, is interviewed by Hillman Curtis. Most notably in my mind, what stands out most from Mr. Carson's work was when he selected the entire text of an article for his magazine with the computer and changing it entirely to the dingbats font after he read how lame it was.

FLASH SITES
NEC e616
PHONE SITE
Slick flash site for a new phone from NEC (Who's NEC?) Oh well, it is probably just another phone not available in the US.

SCION
MATCHBOX CARS FROM ASIA
This entire flash site was really well done. Love the rollover music on the heads to the right.

Flash site for music label EMI, home of artists Air, Al Green, A Perfect Circle, Chemical Brothers, Coldplay, Courtney Love, Daft Punk, Culture Club, Gorillaz, Iggy Pop, Interpol, Iron Maiden, Janet Jackson, and Kamel Shadi (Who's Kamel Shadi?).

WHAT THE FONT?!
FONT FINDER
Now I know this has been out for some time now, but I alway seem to get asked at least once a week if I can identify a font for someone. Well, here is a free little page where you can upload a jpeg or gif of the actual font and it will help you find this font for you.
