‘cos life’s like that. Sometimes you’re just juggling too many balls or spinning too many plates, and you might just as well go home.

Toy Car Crash

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 01:12:00 PDT

The first memorable contact with cars was probably when they were forcibly crashed into each other at the highest speed possible on the lounge room floor.

Anything was possible then – Porsches would play with double decker buses, and a tow truck could jump over a house.

This is just a little bit of fun with the cars that ‘my’ kids now propel around the lounge room floor.

For an Automobile challenge.

Times New Roman

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 02:34:21 PDT

Most people don’t even notice the ‘New’ in Times New Roman these days. Helvetica’s been around for a good while (1957), but the Times newspaper was using ‘Times New Roman’ for over 20 years (1931) when this font hit the world.

The formality of type and popularity serif fonts has been broken down since that time and accelerated with the advent of the web, where print became screen. Times ‘may’ be easy to read, but most people don’t ‘like’ it like they do Helvetica. :)

Maybe, like Arial it’s got Helvetica Envy

Helvetica Envy

The most observant typohpile viewer will notice this slogan’s written in Arial, which of course will have eternal ‘helvetica envy’.

Arial of course came from the same place that’s responsible for the demise of..

Trek Reboot

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 02:34:20 PDT

New films ‘inspired by’ older ones aren’t satisfied with being sequels, prequels or remakes anymore. A new look and new cast requires what’s now called a reboot.

Online in 1996, with the motion picture in 1979, Next Generation in 1987 – now the reboot in 2009..

Lucky your favourite three fingered salute is on hand to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete.

I’m sure the more avid fans will point out many inaccuracies in this design, so my apologies in advance (I am but an observer) ;)

A reboot of this computer would of course be a verbal command, spoken in a best American-Scottish accent : ‘computerrr….. computerrrr!!!..... where’s the $(#@#! on/off switch?’

Clone stamped and walking the cash tightrope

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 02:34:20 PDT

It’s sometimes easy to feel you’re walking a tightrope as you wind your way through life. This just tries to point out that the simple things in life may be ultimately more satisfying than being cloned into the dollar-chasing uphill struggle.

Las Vegas Economy

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 02:34:20 PDT

It’s tough everywhere financially, and Sin City’s no exception. As sure as eggs is eggs it will bounce back, because people just love how it makes them feel.

A bit of silly wordplay.
