No more trash: Sustainable design for trailer park tragics
Make way for the new eco sub-culture: Trailer park recyclables!
I love this.
I am such a sucker for caravans and mobile homes. There’s something about the economic use of space that makes me revere them as an artform. Really, how do they cram so much function into so little space?
Okay, usually, it comes at the expense [...]
April 12 is Small Blog Appreciation Day
The blog that I can’t pronounce, TYWKIWDBI, is having a Small Blog Appreciation Day on 12 April as a way to say thanks to all the (usually) small blogs that have linked to him.
What a great idea!
Linking is the bread n butter of blogging. It’s not only how you get new readers/visitors but also gives [...]
Oh. My. God. I Love Noosa.
Caro and I had our 14th anniversary yesterday and decided to celebrate by doing what we do best: Nothing.
But not just regular old Nothing. We chose Nothing in a Beautiful Place. And not just regular old Nothing in a Beautiful Place, but Nothing in a Beautiful Place on a Glorious Day.
Yep, we slothed out in [...]
Callaghan wows audiences as nine-year-old boy
Congratulations to Stace Callaghan who has been receiving rave reviews for her performance as a nine-year-old boy in LaBoite’s latest production, The White Earth. (Yes, the award-winning Andrew McGahan novel.) Onya Stace. You’re a legend.
The White Earth runs until 21 March 2009 at Brisbane’s LaBoite.
A very Ted St Patrick’s Day
It may not be obvious but a little bit of Irish blood runs through the veins of westonculture. (The catholic stories should give it away…). As such it was our duty to celebrate yesterday with a little tipple. Declan Shalvey from Eclectic Micks (a collection of talented Irish comic book artists) helps us appreciate the joy [...]
Craig fesses up: Original Notes From Chris
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about some strange posters appearing around Melbourne inviting people to meet up with someone named Craig. (See Craig’s Other List) Well, it turns out that Craig’s notes were, um, inspired by a New York project by writer/director/maker, Todd Lamb entitled Notes From Chris.
Todd describes the project as “Notes [...]
Is this the coolest business card ever?
I love business card design. I think there’s something about the size constraints of the card that make people think a little bit more creatively about how they represent themselves and their business. In the most memorable cards, it’s the combination of typeface, colour, text and images with texture, material, shape and size that give [...]
Craig’s other list: Guerrilla graffiti brings humour to the streets
Bizarre notices have been popping up on lampposts around Melbourne.
On the surface they seem like legitimate notices you’d see on community noticeboards: items for sale, lost and found, and invitations to join groups with those who have similar interests. But once you start reading them, you realise that something is amiss. The item for sale [...]
Joss Whedon’s new series, Dollhouse: Yeah or meh?
Oh dear. As I watched the first episode of Joss Whedon’s new series, Dollhouse, a sinking feeling came over me.
Joss Whedon is the creator of cult tv series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly. His work is regarded as some of the cleverest, wittiest and engaging tv of the last 15 years. So, with expectations [...]
