the only reason to watch the world series

while i was accidentally watching the very end of the national league championship series between the giants and the phillies something, or someone, caught my eye. the giants closer brian wilson is a (possibly gay) freakshow and kind of cute. he has a dyed black beard, he wears orange cleats, he has an adorable little puppy, and he keeps a leather clad man as a houseguest. go giants!

in the postgame interview, the guy with the questions asks brian wilson what he things about the rangers pitcher taunt-tweeting, "see your beard real soon." when asked to comment, brian wilson said, "mmm delicious. we'll be coming." ctm. here is an article about how he is actually not that crazy, and probably the smartest guy on the team. here is another youtube interview where he mentions "the machine," which is his leather friend. here is another article where i poached most of these links. i find a little transgression refreshing in a sport as boring as baseball.

san fransisco gets tilt-shifted.

Multimedia designer Shukhrat Pardaev assembled this beautiful tilt-shift video of San Francisco, following in the footsteps of shorts using the same miniaturization technique on New York and Sydney. (via)


(note: i never saw the nyc version, but it is also amazing, and features a lot of construction shots of the brooklyn bridge pier parks)
