And if you thought these were inappropriate just check out the current Cadbury Creme Egg “Champagne” TV spot:
If you're ever in Texas Hill Country check out Wildseed Farms, it's the only garden centre I've ever visited that serves beer: Win-win!
This in a continuation of my fascination with Texas overpasses which began with “Crossing Over” – Overpasses near the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, which I posted last August.
These are the most ridiculous rims I have ever seen in my life. And, this was the SECOND pair I saw while in Texas. Apparently some people like to base their car fashion on Roman chariots.
There’s been a number of posts and tweets about the new Tiny Planet Photos app by InfoDing (note: their official site is one of the most interesting ‘coming soon’ placeholders I’ve ever seen).
I haven’t had a chance to play with the app myself but the screenshots immediately reminded me of some shots I took on my Nokia 6265i way back in May of 2007 – over a month before the first iPhone launched on June 29th, 2007! (Do you remember life before the iPhone?)
I was assisting on a location photo shoot and we had to assemble a metal table – the type you’d see at European sidewalk cafés. While goofing-off working dilligently, I noticed that the interior surface of the table’s centre column was highly reflective. Fascinated by my newfound discovery I immedately began snapping pix of flowers and co-workers.
Obviously, these shots are more simplistic than some of the cool effects and controls it appears you can have with Tiny Planet. However, it is interesting to consider even an effect as ‘digital’ and ‘otherworldly’ as the one provided by this app still has a corollary in the analog realm.
Mercury Espresso Bar just recently celebrated their 5th Anniversary.
I hadn’t been in for a while and was very pleased to see they’d renovated since my last visit. The new layout moved the coffee counter to the back of the space opposite the large storefront windows which are now freed-up for individual seating. Though, if you do plan on staying to enjoy your beverage you best have a musical appreciation for mid to late 90s D.C. hardcore and the like. There ain’t no easy-F%CKIN’-listening soundtrack here. Just face- melting ear-splitting RAWK at a volume that only the heartiest/ hipsterist Leslieville stroller-pushers will brave.
This is a continuation of a theme first introduced in “What Are You Lookin’ At?”
