Heroine, Typeface

 

This is for all the graphic design geeks and the Woody Allen fans

A promotional trailer for the typeface Heroine

Heroine is inspired by the typeface Windsor, designed by Eleisha Pechey in 1905. Windsor is the typeface used in the titles of many Woody Allen movies. A modern interpretation of this rusty pearl is something that always have been missing in the major type libraries. But Heroine is not only an interpretation, it goes beyond that. With the addition of swashes and alternate letters in several styles it becomes very addicitve.

God & Hip-Hop, NahMean Ep. 3

 

John explains:

God and Hip-Hop have always had a complicated relationship. We wanted to explore first whether fans of the music wanted to talk about God, but also if the two can successfully co-exist in a mainstream capacity. What we found was unexpected: people WANTED to talk about it and there were a wide-range of opinions on the topic from both artists and fans that raised the question of if the industry and pop culture are truly in touch with what people on the corner and in their homes are talking about. This episode features Skyzoo, stic.man of Dead Prez and a good number of opinionated music consumers talking back and revealing some surprisingly honest perspectives on a topic considered taboo.

Really interesting segment on how hip-hop talks about loving God, but a lot of rappers actions are contradictory to their beliefs.

Workspaces of famous people

 

This was taken from a Lifehacker Post: Nine Workspaces Where Famous Folks Get Stuff Done

Something about people’s work area always intrigues me.  Maybe that’s why I love looking at theSelby, I love clean & minimal as much as I love crazy & convoluted.  I am feeling my workplace should resemble a mix between Steve Jobs calmness and Al Gore’s confusion.

HP ENVY, The Windows Lover's Mac Clone

 

hp-envy-13-top-02

This might have to be the next computer I own.  I know I can sometimes give Apple some crap, either when I post about the Zune HD (which I own and love) or how Windows 7 will kill.  But all in all I always loved the styling and hardware of a Mac, I actually was considering the option of buying a macbook pro and throwing windows on it.  Only because Mac has the nicest looking laptops, the aluminum chassis is amazing.

Now comes HP with the Envy.  I love how they have the audacity to outright steal Mac’s design.  It like a weird dream came true.  The body of a Mac and the brain of Windows 7.  One thing that makes me hesitate to get this machine is the lack of an optical drive.  I am really to lazy to plug one in, trust me I have been putting off plugging my external (hard drive) into my laptop for over a week now.

Specs: 13 or 15in screen, Radeon HD 4330 discrete graphics, and 1st laptop to use the new intel i7 chipset.

Levi's Commercial: Go Forth

 
You may have seen this commercial by Levi's on TV. I thought it was a really cool commercial, I have an account on CR, and voila!, now it's on here for you to enjoy.
 

That Obama Smile

 
How the hell does he do the same... the EXACT SAME SMILE so many times?!
 

The Return of Hova

 
So, i was a bit skeptical about Jay-z's return after his last album, but it apparently just took him a little bit to get his flow back. The Blueprint 3 is so hot. (just gotta get him to be a bit more creative with his albums names)
 

Dramatic Breakup Letter

 
hilarious shakesperian reading of a high school break-up letter written by some girl. my gf sent this to me and...wait a minute...
 

Art Vs Science - Parlez-Vous Francais?

 

I can't say I like the music, but the video is great.  Features two mimes in an epic battle of imaginary wit.
