[teh_funnay] Do You Like Dallas? How About Space:1999?

1685.

Never have the time to watch both of them? Just watch them simultaneously …

This is what I spent my creative time today doing. iMovie and QuickTime Pro can get quite a bit of work done, if you know how to use ‘em right.

But I’m using Vimeo because YouTube will upload it, but will not play nice to it; it adds about fifty seconds to the video. Result: video out of synch with audio from the get-go.

Anyway, watch, laugh, adore me. I do and do and do for you people!

[design, film] Objectified: Because If It’s From Gary Hustwit, It Has To Be Good

1684.

(via The Fire Wire RSS Feed) It seems to me that Gary Hustwit is fast becoming this generation’s great popular documentarist and explainer of big-d-design. Of course, Helvetica hit it over the fences. Now, we hear, he’s turned his attention toward the field of industrial design with a new film coming up called Objectified.

Of course, if he’d stopped at Helvetica, he’d be my hero, and no mistake there.

I’m really looking forward to this one. They had me at the graphic design, naturally.

[Address_Nerd] Morgan Wick’s Street Blade Gallery

1682.

Some time ago I put out a call hoping to have people share thier street blade photos with me. I obsess on them, and I know there may be people who have pictures they want to share but don’t care to bother with a blog or putting up a personal web page. That invitation still stands, though it has only been lightly taken up.

The next best thing is chatting with someone who puts up a pretty cool gallery. Morgan Wick has done this. In his gallery (surf it here) he has a whole armful of Seattle blades, which exist in a handful of obvious and interesting vintages. I’ve always enjoyed the look of Seattle blades, and he has a good selection of them … but also he has blades from SoCal towns, including Beverly Hills, LA, and Santa Monica. There’s even one of Hollywood and Vine.

View it all here, and here’s one more appetizer which I found particularly interesting:
