Your Friday needed some more Bill Withers

25, Feb 2011

Don’t worry. I am here for you.

Mongrol. More 3A illness.

24, Feb 2011

I know, first-hand, that the quality and articulation of 3A toys is top-shelf and I have no doubt that Mongrol will be up to snuff. At $250 shipped, however, this is way out of my price range. It’s still cool to look at. This goes on sale Monday at bambalandstore.com.

“Steamboat Willie” poster from Alamo Drafthouse

24, Feb 2011

The last 6 months or so have seen some outstanding posters from The Alamo Drafthouse. Their latest, by Tom Whalen, continues the streak. It goes on sale tomorrow at Mondo, the Alamo Drafthouse online storefront. [ viaAICN ]

Bike in a bulb.

17, Feb 2011

This is a nice pairing of things I like: bikes and light bulb art. (But now that I look, it seems I didn’t post about those Kaws lightbulbs. Man, I’m a slack blogger.) [via Prolly Is Not Probably ]

Babies, man.

This has been killing me for two days. So funny. Trailer for the short movie “Las Palmas” by Johannes Nyholm.

Flinchy

14, Feb 2011

Oh, bot. Jay Ryan and some other good folks have started a t-shirt company, flinchy.com. This is video they made to promote it. Flinchy from Jason Harvey on Vimeo. Jay Ryan is a funny guy. I am a fan.

Golden Books original art at CMoR

11, Feb 2011

There is a new exhibit at the Children’s Museum of Richmond showing original illustrations from Little Golden Books. As a bit of an illustrator nerd this is something I am going to make time for. I love it. There are going to be Richard Scarry originals there. I am geeked on that. [via RVA News]

The City of Ember

9, Feb 2011

The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau My rating: 3 of 5 stars My 10-year-old finished this last week so I read it on her recommendation. It was good. Probably very good for young adult fiction because it didn’t get too explicitly preachy.Thumbs up. View all my reviews

Nick Offerman on Conan

2, Feb 2011

Ron Swanson is one of my favorite tv characters.

Goatee Groundhog Day

2, Feb 2011

It’s a one-day, hourly expression of the wonder(?) that is the goatee. I’m here. It’s as bad an idea as it sounds but I can’t help myself when it comes to this kind of thing.
