what type are you?

Since 1974, the design studio Pentagram has come up with a special way to usher in the holiday season, sending a select group of friends, colleagues and clients small booklets with an emphasis on strong graphic design rather than pat holiday greetings. But we kinda think they outdid themselves with 2009’s edition, the charming and incredibly well-executed and interactive What Type Are You? Typeface, that is! After entering your name and password—happily, we are allowed to reveal here that it is “character”—turn your speakers, as directed, up. A nattily dressed man, seen only from the neck down, goes into therapy mode, speaking in what we’re imagining is a Freud-like accent. He’ll ask you four simple questions, pausing and fidgeting impatiently if you take too long, and will reveal your own individual “type.” There are 16 different possibilities (from Archer Hairline to Universal), and you’ll receive a short and fascinating history lesson on the specified font. Talk about a gift that keeps giving..

thanks thomas wilhelm. turns out the internet already knows who she is.

McBarge

i was reading this one blog, and there was this picture from this other blog. both posts were about the McBarge, which seems to be the sunsphere of vancouver. left over and abandoned since the Expo '86 worlds fair, this guy used to be a floating mcdonalds. pretty cute. thanks again internet!

additionally, aren't the girly winter olympics coming up?

embroidery!

this lady makes these and i like them. i could see a wall full of them in a bedroom. via

au revoir simone

the other day i watched pee-wee's big adventure and probably enjoyed it more than when i was a kid. large marge is still terrifying. she never blinks.

TEQUILA!

lost, what you may have missed

carly's post about new tv got me thinking, then i saw an 8 min recap of everything that you need to know to get caught up on lost. i have seen every season, so there were no spoilers for me, but obviously don't watch if you dont want to know.

but get excited, its all about to come to an end.

music news

you know of Montreal have a new album coming out... what you may not have known is who is guesting for a song. SOLANGE!!!! also a girl named janelle monae who i dont know (do you know?) and jon brion is going to fix it all up. sounds good guys.

i love love love solange. her most recent album sol angel and the hadley street dreams is hot2deth. she is such a little r&b indie darling.

holy S.

some crazy b in oklahoma wants to outlaw no-fault divorce among legally married curples. if passed, bill 2279 would prevent divorces based on incompatibility under the following circumstances:

couples with a living minor child

couples that have been together for more than 10 years

instances where one party objects to the seperation

sorry abused moms of 6 year olds, you're going to have to tough it out.

what is kismet doing?

kismet is naturally curious about the internets.
