The French Know 80’s NTSC

Damn, anyone with even a mild shred of design appreciation will be mesmerized by this clip for “DVNO” by Justice.

The end made me laugh out loud (not just lol, seriously laugh out loud) from sheer smacked-by-cleverness-ity.

This is tight.

Here’s a link to a higher-rez QT for those scoring at home.

As Seen Recently at The Boston Logan Airport

toilet_cam1.jpgThough it’s a little hard to see in the picture, you’ll notice a sticker on the person side of a toilet paper dispenser which reads: “Toilet camera for statistical purposes only”.

- I’m sorry, what? Did I just read “toilet camera?”

Is this for real? Possibly a joke? If so, it’s a thorough one; all the other stalls were marked too (yes, I checked).

I have no idea what the legal implications are for installing a toilet camera for any purposes, but I’d bet if its at an airport, “statistics gathering” is only one reason a camera would be allowed.

What type of statics are they tracking? Toilet traffic (simply)? Average minutes per use? Length on seat vs. length buckling pants? What agency is tracking these statistics? Janitorial? Security? Marketing?

See the camera?

Just one more reason to avoid public bathrooms I guess.

NXT Goo, You’ve Won My Attention, But…

“Woah, that package is lighting up next to me.”

Yeah, I picked it up. Hey, that’s pretty neat. That’s a good ploy, guys. Stick a small, emanating LED inside your package, hope the battery at least outlasts the shelf-life, wait for sales. Okay, cool, you’ve gotten my hard-won attention…

…but I didn’t buy your goo and I’m not even sure what type of goo you’re selling.

It’s the light-up kind, silly.

My Fondest Memory of The South

is as equally scary.
