The trailer for Tim Burton's "9" is finally up.
As obsessed as I am with the life after the apocalypse, this movie seems to suggest humans are extinct. I don't know how I feel about that.
Wait. Yes I do.
This looks awesome.

I spit Alcatraz bars.
"The Nino Brown Story reads like a home video, with a personal, uncensored glimpse into Lil Wayne’s life over an extended period of time, with exclusive footage that will never be seen on anything but Streets Talk DVD."
Weezy's documentary is going to be released at Sundance apparently. Should be an interesting look into an interesting rap career.
What I'm really waiting to see is how much time will be spent talking about his Ghost Writers.
I've always wondered what it was like for a guy like Wayne in high school. Did kids look at him like "You're Weeziness!" or "Dude. Stop trying to rhyme about pelicans and pecans." I would be willing to be that while He'd like us to believe the former, it was more like the latter.
Here's the trailer if you want to watch, though it's fairly uninformative. Which is really how I am betting the documentary is. If his unintelligible interviews are any sign, I'm going to have to be as impossibly high as Wayne to understand any of it.

Meeeeow.
We were just talking about this the other night. Unfortunately, creepy hippies ruin every good plan.

Widmer Brothers Brewing
Since I'm sitting in Rennie's Landing working on a project, I figured a post was in order.
I'm dedicating this to one of my favorite brews; Widmer Hefeweizen. It's still one of the best Hef's I've had, even though it's probably the most popular. Many of the other hefeweizen's I've tasted are too...experimental? BJ's Hef is very nutty with a hint of banana, which while interesting, is not really something I can drink more than a pint of. Rock Bottom Brewery's is closer to the Widmer, with a heavy wheat flavor, but is still to robust for my taste.
Another reason I love Widmer is that it is locally brewed in Portland. The brewery is on Russel, just across the Broadway bridge. I'm thinking a tour in the near future is in order.
Anyway. Portlandbeer.org has a great photostream on flickr dedicated to the local PDX breweries and one album is dedicated to Widmer.

Universcale
With the constant jumps in technology, we are now able to observe and view more. We can see into atoms and galaxies, analyze cell structures and solar flares.
Nikon's Universcale puts all this in perspective. This system is not only informative, it is also incredibly executed. While the concept is complex and complicated, the explanation and use is simple and clean.
It is also very humbling when you finally scroll down to the size of a human, and you realize how incredibly small we are in comparison with the rest of, well, everything!

Montana Meth Commercials
One of my favorite campaigns of all time is a set of PSA's put out by the Montana Meth Project.
"The Montana Meth Project is a large-scale exercise in prevention, aimed at significantly reducing Meth use in Montana. The integrated program consists of an ongoing, research-based marketing campaign—supported by community outreach and public policy initiatives—that realistically and graphically communicate the risks of methamphetamine to the youth of Montana."
One of my favorite examples:
Monanta Meth Project's website.

Business Cards
Here is one of my favorite entries in the Fubiz.net blog. Fubiz is a daily weblog that posts on creativity, graphic design and innovation. The contributors post on a very wide variety of subjects, from photography and advertising to architecture and product design. The trouble is they post in French, and the English translation is a bit...rough.
This post was a list of images of 70 of the worlds most interesting business cards. Here are a few of my favorites, followed by the link for the full list, and a link to the English version of the blog.
This first is for a man named Chad Germann, CEO of Howlfire, a Milwaukee based Ad Agency.
Whitney Shaw's struck me not only for the great illustration, but also for the texture I imagine it would have. The recipient would be able to feel the wolf's fur, further adding to the attractiveness of the art.
My last selection is possibly my favorite. It is an amazing example of function meeting form! As the business card for a graphic designer, the rules on the side struck me as hilarious.
