Typorgrapher.org dishes it out to NTT DoCoMo like NTT DoCoMo’s blocking the way to the tacqueria:
So, it appears our brand specialist has been drinking one too many Châteauneuf-du-Pape and has gone into a drunken overdrive during a meeting with DoCoMo… oh, sorry, I meant docomo:

Handbags? What handbags?
July 31, 2007 – 8:26 am
Guy designs handbags using brass knuckles and shaped like submachine guns. He he then gives them to hot chicks wearing Stahlhelm or prancing around in old Russian subs.
Nice!
Might not be safe for work depending where you work. No nudity.

If you’ve ever spent any time looking at artists’ websites (maybe because you occasionally follow links from Drawn! or something), these observations will be familiar:
In the thirteen years I’ve been on the web, twelve of which I’ve spent doing professional web site design, and the last two of which have sent me to hundreds of [...]
WP administrivia, Sandbox
May 30, 2007 – 1:52 am
Upgraded to WP 2.2 and the new version of Scott Wallick’s Sandbox theme (chock full o’ semantic classes). In the process I managed to lose the stylings for co-blogger JMD’s posts, and probably hosed a few other things as well. I’ve got a couple of ideas for a design here, but need to look under [...]
Color psychology
October 20, 2006 – 5:07 pm
For many of my childhood years, the walls in my room were painted fairly bright yellow - which maybe wasn’t such a great thing:
Like the sun, too much bright yellow hurts our eyes and agitates us. Brilliant yellows make our eyes tired. Therefore, like road workers use yellow flags for caution, you want to use [...]
Well, duh

Stuart Brown, whose website came close to giving me an aneurysm (intentionally, I hope), cleverly notices that today’s trends are tomorrow’s cliches, except he tries to get ahead of the curve by claiming they’re already cliches. Except that well, some of them are apparently actually good*, unless you use them wrong, or too much:

Threadless
October 30, 2005 – 8:51 pm
Threadless is pretty cool - it’s an ongoing t-shirt design contest, where users vote on the best designs and the company prints the winners.
(I’ll have to submit a design… yeah, real soon now)
One could waste tremendous amounts of time browsing designs there, if one were inclined. And one might find designs that should not be [...]
Soundtracks for Anarcho-capitalists

I just had to look at this, the world’s most hilarious design project, again. I’m off to get my gut unbusted now.
(it’s not static - there are pages there now that I haven’t seen before!)
I’ll take three.

About the Sphere:
The spheres are made of two laminations of wood strips over laminated wood frames.The outside surface is then covered with clear fiberglass and finished. The result is a beautiful and very tough skin. The skin is waterproof and strong enough to take the impacts that come with life in a dynamic environment [...]
Ultra vivid scenery
December 18, 2004 – 9:41 am
Just Adobe Gamma’d my monitor. WOW! I can see things on it now - the dissident frogman-designed little trackback, permalink and comment boxes at samizdata have little cropped bits of the samizdata logo in them, for instance! Who knew - who knew - what a color profile could do for you, I ask?
UPDATE: of course, [...]

The DTs: The Drinking Game for the Whole Family
November 6, 2004 – 12:13 pm
In this fast paced game of family fun, you compete against the other players for limited caches of liquor, lest you go into withdrawal. If enough turns pass between belts, you lapse into tremors and hallucinate. Then the other players can “roll” you, stealing whatever resources you have to aid them in their [...]
