After watching some stop-motion animations recently at the Bentley Film Festival, I recalled this amazing stop-motion video that I believe @mada716 had sent over a while ago. I cannot wait to have some time and purpose to try something like this! I can only imagine the patience this took!

The folks over at SUCK UK have some very cool stuff!

SwissMiss featured the Analog Digit Cake Molds. I wonder if it would be redundant if you used the numbered candles?

Another funny thing I found was this Dead Fred pen holder. I’m not sure if I would want to take my aggression out on the thing, people walking by might wonder. But I think it’s a very interesting way to store your pen so it’s always at the ready. I really like the blood trail in this image, though I’m not sure how maintenance would like that once I move out of my cube.

I have been known to wear a hoodie for many days of my life! I may or may not even be wearing one as I write this. But the folks over at Conceptual Devices have come up with other things to do with hoodies besides wearing them. Check it out. Even more ideas after the jump.

As a great follow up to my previous post, Matt Robinson recently took to drawing on walls to display the ink efficiency of various fonts. After drawing them large scale on a wall, the ink left over in the ball point pens shows how efficient the font are. In an ironic twist, the fonts which were most ink efficient, are lease energy efficient on a computer screen, as the more white the more energy required to light up the screen.

I love these notepods. Although I’m sure they’re great for designing iPhone apps and/or mobile websites I would probably just use them to write things on. Perhaps sketch out some of the icons that I wish my pretend iPhone had.

Long story short… I woke up this morning to plan my caching run, and came to find the site down. Come to find out, there was a fire at the data center which resulted in water from the sprinklers disabling the power generators and knocking out power to the facilities. In addition to geocaching.com, bing travel [a Microsoft product] was down. Also, the local television channel is housed in the building. They had to begin broadcasting from a sister channel, and their 6 o’clock news did happen, however it was a little different.
