Pinterest



So my new obsession is Pinterest (a bit late, I know), which is this very awesome online pinboard site. It's so cool to be able to pin all your visual treasures and inspirations digitally in one place, where you can find them later. Go have a look at my profile and follow me if you like. So many nice things to look at... it's very dangerous.

Mokemon

Hello! I've joined a Movember SA team called Mokemon. Friends, if you'd like to join a team and grow a moustache, join ours! If you'd like to donate some money towards prostate and testicular cancer, please sponsor our team. The boys will grow nice moustaches and everybody will be happy. Unfortunately I can't grow a 'stache, but I'm behind them all the way!

Movember

In the spirit of Movember, I've chosen some nice moustache pictures for my mood board today.I love Movember (and Snorgustus, and Tashtober) because I get to see all sorts of nice facial hair all over the show. It's fun. Go check out the official Movember SA page and join a group or donate some money to cancer research.

Letters of Note

Letters of Note is one of my favourite sites. They post some awesome written correspondence between really interesting people who are mostly famous for some or other reason, and they include transcriptions too. Here are some of my favourites:

Johnny Cash to his wife, June:
Hey June,

That's really nice June. You've got a way with words and a way with me as well.

The fire and excitement may be gone now that we don't go out there and sing them anymore, but the ring of fire still burns around you and I, keeping our love hotter than a pepper sprout.

Love John

Steven Spielberg to George Lucas:
Thom Yorke replying to fan mail:
A letter from Albert Einstein to a friend Eugene Simon, making his opinion of astrology known. Pretty funny:
Dear Sir:

I fully agree with you concerning the pseudo-science of astrology. The interesting point is that this kind of superstition is so tenacious that it could persist through so many centuries.

Very truly yours,

Professor Albert Einstein.

A letter to Andy Warhol from his rental agents concerning the parties he had in his studio in New York:
Go have a look at the site, it's really great.

PES Stop Magic

Any of you like stop motion? I love it, a lot. PES does a lot of really incredible stop motion that I used to be very obsessed with after I saw the first one, Western Spaghetti. The videos are super short and quick to watch, and I'm pretty sure your eyes won't believe you when you tell them these clips are made out of stills. Enjoy!

Action sampler

I have this awesome action sampler that I was given loooong ago. The other day, I had a film developed from it which I started two years ago and only finished recently. It's nice getting back pictures you forgot you took. This thing is super awesome but super difficult to use. You never really know if you're aiming right.

Underwater

I took a disposable underwater film camera to Mozambique. I got the film developed the other day and it seems half of them didn't come out. Either that or I didn't take them properly. Anyway, these are some nice ones...

Neighborhoods

Today Blink 182 are releasing their first album in over 7 years, which, in my mind, is quite a big deal. It's called Neighborhoods. The official US release date is tomorrow but it's obviously already available. Go have a listen to the new single 'Up All Night' if Blink makes you a little bit excited or nostalgic. The general response has been great so far, and it seems like they've pulled through.
