    The Wilderness Downtown

    The project merges so many things into a simple feat of magic. Best viewed in Google Chrome. This is an example of the movie with my first address in Canada.

    Serendipitous absurdity: is there anything the interwebs can't do?

    In a few bursts of keys, an asinine chat between 2 coworkers culminates into a glorious apex.

    10:37 Dom:
    i can’t belive i am part of the lowest denominator, wait yes i can

    10:38 raymona: 
    ha
    i’ve helped so many people find that button

    10:39 Dom:
    btw, your stock rose bigtime now, i know you re a mathlete

    10:39 raymona:
    ex mathlete
    haven’t flexed those muscles in ten years

    10:40 Dom:
    my mc name is calculus cause i am a poser

    10:40 raymona:
    ha

    10:40 Dom:
    we used to have office freestyle battle over chat

    10:41 raymona:
    ya…that sounds so awesome :|

    10:41 Dom:
    sarcasm is the last bastion for the weak minded

    10:42 raymona:
    ya? well you’re ugly

    10:42 Dom x.392:
    i am devout follower of the opposite rule

    10:43 raymona:
    did you just try to say “i’m rubber and you’re glue…” in a more clever way?

    10:43 Dom:
    never heard of that
    plus that doesn t even make sense detlef
    ruuber/glue mean the insult defelcts back to you. opposite means that you were calling me gorgeous

    nice work russell crowe

    10:44 raymona: 
    it’s so boring talking to you

    Burberry’s — Art of the Trench

    Personally, I have been an owner of a variation of the (non-Burberry) trench coat since my earliest days in Canada. I can thank my mother and Inspector Clouseau for that style influence.

    Compassion, professionalism and about 10,000 hours of practice. Thom Yorke stops mid song, gets a passed-out fan some medical attention, then picks up without missing a beat. Skip to 27:50 mark.

    Solid.

    Got a sweet photo, but you don’t want to fork over $1 at your local Ikea for a genuine Chinese-made photo stand? No worries, all you need is a single genuine Chinese-made Post-It® Note and some finger dexterity.

    Here’s a quick how-to to make you very own Post-It Note photo stand. Enjoy.

    Beautiful indoor garden replete with living flora and fauna. Quite a nice surprise at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich, CT.

    Every hotel room should come with an indoor garden view.

    They should be wearing matching insane asylum outfits. Nice. Now have them do a chest bump in the air. Perfect. Ok, arch the guy so it looks like he broke his spinal cord from T6 to T9. Excellent, send this badboy to press. And that’s how you design by committee people.

    Air Jordan 2010, the shoe equivalent of Rosie Perez making out with Arsenio Hall in the back of a ‘92 Taurus wrapped in Cosby sweaters. New signature ‘window’ signifies his ability to see-through opponents. The rest of design and material choices signifies his inability to have good taste. Someone at Nike HQ needs to say no to his design influence. No doubt these will be hot sellers with the blubbering masses.
