The Love Guru

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

I stumbled upon these little gems on YouTube.  They were pretty weird—and high-larious—to see, but I found out it’s a movie coming out this year with Mike Meyers.  Check these out: Introduction

A long story

I smell epic lulz coming from this movie.

New Cut Copy!

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

I just found out today that you can listen to the new Cut Copy record “In Ghost Colors” on their MySpace page.  After hearing the first few bits of it, I can’t wait to dig into this record more!   For those of you with questions about Cut Copy:

  • They are an amazing electronic band
  • They sound great
  • I like them

That is all, thank you.

Open Source Hits… Sewing?

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Apparently, yes. Â I was thinking there maybe there might possibly be in a kind of shot-in-the-dark-method of nerdy madness that allowed you to hack your sewing machine.

However, the folks at burdastyle are talking about free patterns for making your own stuff.  Not bad, but I have to admit, I was hoping for nerdier!  This makes me want to go watch some Project Runway.

Dear Direct Mail Advertisers,

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Stop it.

And also quit sending me advertising that uses txt slang about how “GR8!” your insurance is.

It reduces my intelligence-and everyone else’s-just by reading it.

You know what, just stop all together and I think we’ll be good.

Respectfully,
Josh

If Only – Before & After

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

I get asked a lot to show the original images I use when I create packaging or other photos. So I’m going to post one for the photo “If Only.”

Before:


Brooks Wood Band - Before

The original photo was actually the last shot I took in the shoot, and took it on a whim. I asked my friend Emilie to put the flowers in the field (that’s her on the side) and shot away! The results were really astonishing when I began to play with it in PhotoShop. I hope you aren’t sad to learn the sky wasn’t really there. :)

And here’s the final shot:


You can see images from the rest of the shoot here. Prints of “If Only” are available if you’d like. Just name your size.

Unplayed Music on Your iPod

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Does anyone have any artists/tracks/records/books on your iPod (or other comparable audio player!) that you just feel like you have to keep on there, but don’t really listen to at all? I have a few:

  • Â Sigur Ros (pretty much all of them)
  • The softer Foo Fighters stuff (They’re best when rocking their hardest!)
  • Spoon

What’s on yours?
