Fun Stuff

, ,

Anyone that knows me - knows that I like the word "stuff"!

My reasons for liking such a simple word are; stuff can mean anything and everything or absolutely nothing at all. This one versatile little word can be used in so many different ways and as I've learned over the years "Stuff" doesn't make for a very good label on disks.

Here's some stuff I found online that are pretty interesting.


The To-Do Tattoo kit includes 12 graphic “To Do” forms that you can apply to your body wherever it’s most convenient (or creative) and a skin-safe, washable-ink gel pen.

These little gems are the brain child of Out of Office designers; a British collevtive that has some pretty neat stuff in their collection.








Jaime Jasso is a Digital Artist from Mexico and his work is just mind blowing - He works as a Digital Matte artist and Scene Assembler at Blur Studio in Venice, CA.

You can check out more of his portfolio at Digital Works.

Definitely some cool stuff.


I found this floating around from site to site. You can see a larger version here if you like.

The world is a very interesting place if you take the time to look at some of the stuff in it.












And just because I can - I'd like to point out a simple fact; there are a lot of dickheads on the Internet. Normal people call them "trolls" and other stuff I won't use here.

Finally there's a way to combat the trolls!

The StupidFilter a highly experimental piece of software is in beta and will some day be able to recognize comment stupidity the moment it's posted. They have a demo on their site you can play with.

You plug this code into your comment section and it's like a strap of tape over the mouth of every teenager who can't type a sentence without including the word "fail."

I haven't seen the tattoos before, but I've seen some of the Out of Office folks' stuff before. Some cleverness there. :smile:

Jaime Jasso is very talented. Thanks for passing that on!

I had two experiences with naked women in windows I will regale you with sometime. Neither of them became internet memes, though. :lol:

I'm going to have to spend some time with the stupid filter - it looks great. Trolls suck.

After a long week - surfing lets me unwind and turn off the brain. You'd be amazed at some of the weird, whacky and wonderful things I've come across and never expected to find.

Artists like Jasso, Hu Ming (http://hu-ming.com/), the return of Grace Jones (http://viacomit.free.fr/index.php/2008/08/07/grace-jones-corporate-cannibal/) the video is on the page or at YouTube. Photographers like Joshua Hoffine who seem to have a morbid fascination with horror yet take some of the most amazing shots (http://joshuahoffine.com/).

I can go on for hours.

Death to Trolls! who knows this little piece of code may be a great saviour.

So much for me to look at. I'll have to pass some on to my brother, who has a curiosity for the artistically bizarre to rival your own.

My neck and head are bothering me - I've been cutting tile, and I'm woefully behind (owing to the time I spent here, today), so tomorrow will be a long day - and I am going to bed. I will run these links down tomorrow, I hope. Especially the Grace JOnes, whom I've always liked.
