Fun With Brits

What on earth is going on here? I don’t know, but I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to create another Brit Pack Vanity Fair cover.

  1. The men’s scent will smell like CSS while the women’s version will smell like HTML.

    Oh boy, I *love* it! :-)

  3. XINERGY says:

    Ha! Chilling. =P

  4. Observe my bare chest… that’s ’cause I don’t have a Newsvine t-shirt.

  5. Tom Dolan says:

    Where’s your other hand? That’s what I want to know.

  6. Shocking! Hilarious! A great excuse to look at this picture again!

    But seriously, you’ve got time for this and you don’t have time to answer the meme I sent you?

  7. Mike D. says:

    Wilson: Don’t you know that Mike Industries is where memes come to die? I thought that’s why you sent it. :)

  8. Wilson says:

    Perfect! I ran the table then!

  9. You Plagiariser you! Photoshop yer own meme!

    ;)

    (At least yours is spelled correctly…!)

    Now that’s genius!

    As far as who’s really behind this, I haven’t one clue, but it’s been good fun.

  11. I know that this should be a funny picture. But I can’t take my eyes off of Scarlett Johanson in order to properly inspect it.

  12. Cindy Li says:

    Woh! Jeremy who knew you were a model! The look on your face is PRICELESS!

  13. That is quality… I like it a lot!

  14. Gregg says:

    Great photoshop Mike… The fact that Jeremy looks to be saying ‘How you doing’ to the hot makeup artist off camera makes it all the better… Jeremy lets show some proffesionalism please!

  15. Anytime I wear more Adactio, my wife suddenly wants to jump my bones. Only I have to remind her not to call me Keith ;)

  16. heh great job on that :D

  17. I know that this should be a funny picture. But I can’t take my eyes off of my beautiful girlfriend in order to properly inspect it. And thanks to Adactio for Men, she can’t keep her hands off of me.

  18. Kartoonists beware!

    I first found reference on Mike Industries’s blog which refers to this hilarious blog at Jeremy Keith’s Adactio which all leads back to Erik Sagen at Kartooner

How 3D works, and why it's back:

Great article on the ins and outs of three dimensional imagery. Still doesn’t change my opinion that well-shot conventional cinematography is more impressive than the novelty that is Avatar.

The Importance of Removing Features:

This is one of the most useful articles I’ve read in a long time. As we work on focusing, strengthening, and simplifying Newsvine, the concepts discussed by Lukas ring true. “Saying no” has never been a strong suit of mine. It’s very helpful to remember how important of a quality it is. (via fullstopinteractive)

Newly released video of the space shuttle Challenger disaster: It was 24 years ago, I was in 5th grade, but I remember it like it was yesterday. School was stopped immediately and they wheeled out televisions in every classroom for us to watch the news footage. It’s great that this video has been released, but holy crap, how do you tuck something that away for two decades???

A nicely done british parody of 60 Minutes style video journalism. It’s easy to miss how formulaic our news is sometimes. (via B-Tizzle, originally via E-Chizzle)

Colosseo: This is why Cameron is a king and we are all just pawns in his world. I can’t wait to get my hands on this poster. I will point out, however, that the outro credits on the video need some kerning. Someone is going to lose their right hand for that.

Spezify:

New ways of searching are almost never as useful as old ways of searching. Spezify is pretty awesome though. It’s a visually interesting, never-ending, horizontally and vertically scrollable, topic explorer. I don’t think I’d use it for digging deep on anything, but to get a quick visually rich sampling of a topic, it’s quite fun (via tiff, a long time ago actually, over email).

Realism in UI Design:

Reminds me of my favorite logo design advice: “Never waste a stroke”. (via gruber)

The best hockey team intro ever: Or as Tyler says “The Alaska Nanooks are my new favorite hockey team”.

jimray:

Rachel’s right, this is the best thing ever. At least, once you get the joke. Being the old fart that I am, I had no idea why this was funny until I spent about 30 seconds figuring out what a Team Jacob was and and then it was only a matter of time before, well… it would seem this poor girl confused Pat Robertson, douchebag supreme, with teen heartthrob and Twilight “star” Robert Pattinson.

Interesting. I just assumed “switching to Team Jacob” meant converting to judaism.

AWP Express:

I have no idea if these guys are any good or not, but this is the best example of a design agency site I’ve seen in a long time. It’s clean, extremely readable, very well-written, friendly, free of fluff and hyperbole, and contains clear calls to action. If you own your own agency and are trying to drum up work, you could learn a lot from how these guys present themselves. (via CSS Beauty)

Avatar: The Making of the Bootleg Makes me want to skip the whole 3D thing and support the Canal Street cinematographer’s guild.

Why Are Europeans White?:

According to Frank W. Sweet, it all goes back to cereal.

How to use CSS @font-face:

Very thorough writeup. It’s almost time to walk sIFR peacefully into the sunset. (via oxygensatchel)

A great HDR Tutorial from Wolfgang Bartleme (aka “The Austrian Wolf”). One of these days, I’m going to start shooting this way… probably after it’s an automatic function of the camera though.

Where Should I Eat? Fast Food Edition: A nice flowchart. Good to see Jack-In-The-Box getting some props. Pretty tough on Arby’s though!

Aziz Ansari = Indian Mitch Hedberg on uppers
Arlo from this season of 24 looks a lot like Darren, Kramer's intern at Kramerica Industries.
Apparently it is impossible to get a serious answer to a question if the question includes the word "beaver". Lots of good stuff though!
Anybody know the best way to kill a mountain beaver?
Watching Undercover Boss. Very ironic that Waste Management's female drivers are apparently forced to urinate in cans.
@jlbruno Bud is a completely undifferentiated product. That's why they brand-advertise. Google has unique products to teach people about.
ESPN.com does not wear Trade Gothic well.
A lose/lose for Indy fans. Lost the game and didn't even get to play for perfection. You all should be livid with ownership.
@jw @andrewlin Maybe. Didn't seem like too transformational of an ad to me though. The coolness of auto-suggest was probably lost on many.
Does Google really need to convince people to use Google for searching? A Chrome ad would have been 100x more useful.
@zeldman By the way, make sure to catch Million Dollar Listing, also on Bravo. Just as entertaining, but for different reasons.
@zeldman It really is. There's something very entertaining about financially accomplished, socially awkward people.
@H_FJ Nah. Long ago he said amphibious, meaning ambidextrous. It stuck, so he kept saying it. "Layup with the left hand! He's amphibious!"
Marques Johnson just said "amphibious". Damn, I miss the Sonics now.
Wow, D.C. could get 30 inches of snow this weekend? The *real* Washington is jealous.
