Helmet Week part 5

Helmet week part 4

The blazer and orange highlights on the goggles (referencing the hue of the goldfish) really pull this look together. An avant-garde look for today's modern man.

Illustrator gives up.

Got this error at work. Sorry Illustrator, I didn't mean to make you do anything you're not comfortable with.

The History of the Universe According to the International Style.

There aren't any other significant events in the history of the universe, really, when you think about it.

Plague of Passwords

I liked this little rant on passwords that I read in the paper today. Click to read the whole thing.

"Type your password incorrectly three times and you'll get your account suspended and have to talk to password control. They'll ask you security questions about your first pet, your second husband and your last mistress."

"One hoop we must jump through is deciphering weird distorted words on screen that we must retype correctly.

For instance, if you want to e-mail someone a curry recipe from gourmetrecipes.com, you may first have to identify blurry letters that seem to spell "ypoletka brezhnev."

It's a bit like an eye doctor chart, but harder to read, so I usually fail and must try another set that looks like "grfzuhs cereal" - and I fail again and decide I don't want to e-mail that recipe anyway.

I'm told these eye exams are to prove we are humans, not computers that are programmed to constantly scan the net trying to steal everyone's identity. Apparently machines can't read these distorted letters, so by deciphering them, we prove we are people. So why do I feel like I've turned into a machine instead?"

The evolution of English...

Or the end of literacy? I'm sure you've seen people mix up "Their", "They're" and "There". I have just witnessed the solution in a dusty corner of the internet.

This thing needs a redesign, but for now a standard template should do...

Plenty of Syph

This is hilarious and utter genius. Must be some sort of public service thing about syphillis, obviously playing of plentyoffish.com and those late night TV chat line ads.

Just saw the ads on TV... the Youtube view count is pretty low so this thing must be new. You saw it here first!!!

Wat u lookin at

"Staff at St Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire have made a little jumper to keep a spineless hedgehog warm. The animal was found by a member of the public in a garden in Bedford and has been named Spudlina by staff as her skin resembles that of a potato. The two year old is undergoing various tests to determine the cause of the loss of her spines and she is currently enjoying regular skin massages with a Vitamin E moisturiser"
