I found this superhero doodle game that someone created to play with their son (via Bearskinrug).
Its rules are very simple.
I think it’s a brilliant concept, me and the Dude have been playing over the last couple of days, here’s what it looks like so far:
Only problem is chilling the beer. I’m thinking a modified wine rack would work a treat though.
I’m a bit of an analogue boy at heart and have an old Leica IIIC – I my opinion the finest looking camera ever made.
Alas in this digital age and especially because of begining to write this blog I just need something easy to carrying around and quick for getting pictures onto my mac. My first choice was obviously the Leica M8, also a bloody fine looking chap, but a modern day digital to boot. 3 grand though… a tad extrangant for taking a few snaps to put on a blog, maybe in a few years when there’s some cheap secondhand ones about?
In the end I plumbed for the Samsung NV10. Not bad looking I think, stood out above the sea of shiney plastic ‘same olds’ also available. Only had it a couple of days, but impressions are pretty favourable so far. It’s got over 10 million pixels, so more detail than I’m ever going to need. It’s really compact, hardly notice carrying it round in your pocket. But the best thing for me is the novel interface.
It’s got a series of vertical and horizontal button either side of the screen which are touch sensitive – they give on screen visual feedback to rollover as well and press. It’s a very well thought out 2 handed affair, you can browse, select and breeze through menus much faster than a conventional interface. I wouldn’t be surprised if this sort of thing made it’s way to mobile phone soon too, it would very much suit their menu structures.

Aimed squarely at the youth pay-as-you-go market the plan was to create something that would get Orange legitimately involved with the explosive growth of social networks. So we created a system whereby if you invite someone to join Orange, and they do, you both get super-cheap texts and calls to each other (and everyone else in your friend’s network).
I’m loving this guys work over at http://www.albertocerriteno.com/ Textures & patterns combined with clean vector shapes and a cutesy character design style is looking pretty hot to me at the moment.
Reminds me a little bit of Christian Montenegro’s work, which I also like very much.
Found via Drawn! who have also just posted this ace whiteboard stop motion.
The Glue Society’s entrant into Sculture by the Sea 2006 – brilliant comment on global warming.
This weekend me and the Dude made our first Sock Monkey’s! Here’s my little fella, he’s called Daddy Long Legs. Lessons learnt from making him were -
Stick to normal sized legs and arms (normal sized socks), sewing and stuffing his was a real pain. Get a sewing machine, generally sewing is a real pain.
While I’m on the subject, here’s some Sock monkey links:
Everyone loves a hairy back! Nice flash drawing tool, best I’ve seen for the handling of curves.
Nice Video on Cool Hunting of Simon & Tig explaining their Social Suicide suits. I’ve got the Benchmark suit.
It’s the British doodle 4 google day today. Above is my favourite, here’s all the rest of the winners.
If I had to wear glasses, I’d get these wooden specs, loving the little twist on the arms.
