One of those things that I never would have thought I'd want, but now I do.

Phrase of the day: "desire path."
Lovely.
Desire Path: A term in landscape architecture used to describe a path that isn't designed but rather is worn casually away by people finding the shortest distance between two points.

Robots for sale.
Too spendy for me, but so fab.
Please note: Guy Robots are not toys: they do not walk or talk or give legal advice. They are not dangerous and will not bite, kick, pinch, or emit ozone. Guy Robots will not -- unless repeatedly provoked -- harass your dog or cat.

Poetry nightstand.
The leitmotif of books was used for creating this design. The nightstand looks like a pile of randomly superimposed books. There are four drawers.

Hire your own paparazzo.
I find this kind of intriguing. Not as a conceit, but as a way to see what you look like to other people in your unguarded moments.
MethodIzaz is a unique photography experience. Subjects are unaware of the exact moment they will be photographed and of the photographer's identity. Instead, the subject is photographed completely naturally, living life as normal.
MethodIzaz will provide you with a portfolio of pictures representing the fleeting moments of an authentic lifestyle. The photographs will allow you to remember these moments later in life. They will also give you a new perspective on the everyday, letting you see yourself and your surroundings through the eyes of an artist.
Using information provided earlier about their weekly routine, the photographer will arrive on the scene, and unseen, take shots of the subject. The subject will be photographed walking through the streets, going about their daily business. Without posing and artifice, the camera captures only the natural beauty of the person.

Movie poster baby announcements.
For those not gifted with a nice sense of design but no proper design skills, this is kind of an ace idea.

Strange banner ad.
I just saw this in the LA Times.
The illustration and typography is so bad, it's actually kind of awesome.

Sperm For Tickets.
If this is for real (and it appears it is), I weep quietly for the future. It feels a bit like offering a 10-year-old a Wii for his kidney.
Again - IF this is for real - it's been so popular, they're not taking any more donations at this point.

Angry typography.
Poor girl. Hope Fed Ex does something nice for her. Chances are, they'll just deliver a restraining order.
Last week FedEx failed to deliver my ISTD submission from Australia to London. They had my package in their store all week and failed to notify me that it had not been sent! So, along with a letter of complaint, they will receive the box (which never got sent) covered with hand-drawn type expressing my anger. Typomania at its worst!

Mighty Organized.
Jenny Rushizky, an old pal of mine, just mailed me about her professional organizer business. It sounds fab, so I gotta give her a little bloggity love here.
If you're up to your ears in paperwork, to-do lists and cluttered closets, do yourself a favor - give her a call. (Aside from wicked organizing skills, it'll be worth it just to hear her laugh. It's lovely.)

It's a good thing I can't read anything on this auction site. If I could, I'd be going nuts right now, bidding on everything. Like this little box.

Having just run across this, I wish I could spend my afternoon looking for more weird, completely inappropriate Playmobil themes.

In Memory of the Sparrow.
...Studies have shown that sparrow populations are decreasing in areas that are affected by electromagnetic communication.
Imagine on a stroll through Hyde Park you are met with an eerie silence. All the twittering birds have disappeared. By harnessing the very force that drove them away, and transforming it into subtle, obscured bird-like sounds, my object is a monument to the sparrows. It acts as a comfort to those who want to remember the sparrows, but also as a poignant reminder of why they are gone.

Fugs on the ‘Project Runway’ Finale.
**SPOILER ALERT ** Read no further if you haven't caught up with Project Runway on your DVR yet.
If you watch(ed) the show, you might enjoy this. I particularly love these little snippets:
It was sort of same-y, but I think in the end, they could not resist the giant face-scrunchie.
That little mattress was so sad. I want Christian to finally get a big-boy bed. Plus, can you imagine what a little bitch he would have been had he lost?

Best first paragraph ev...well, this week at least.
As The BPP so aptly put it, "I can't figure out if this story is about the worst zoo in the world or the best zoo in the world."
The fact that it's run by a chain-smoking ex-homicide detective just makes it all the better.
Our made-do zoo - Las Vegas Sun
The Las Vegas Zoo (yes, it exists) acquired two animals this year, a leopard and a binturong. The leopard has already gone from arthritic to dead, and the binturong (also know as a bearcat, although it's related to neither bear nor cat) smells of popcorn and Fritos, as is characteristic of the species. His name is Bruce.
