The System 47


blog...

Weekend?

The weekend’s coming.  What stands between you and victory?

Greetings cyclists!

I’m a big fan of Yehuda Moon and the Kickstand Cyclery. Today’s comic, I couldn’t help but comment with a link to one of my biking comics that seemed on topic.  That trickled to a bike forum and, well, here some of you are.  Thanks for coming!  Here’s a few of the bike comics I’ve done so far:

To answer a question I saw on the forums, yeah I’m a biker.  I bike to and from work daily.  It’s only 3 miles, but it’s still kinda hilly and even if it isn’t a lot, I love it.  Feel free to share those around!

“Peanuts” Animator Passes

The first special was 1965’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” The show reportedly worried CBS because it broke so much new ground for a cartoon: It lacked a laugh track, used real children as voice actors, had a jazz score and included a scene in which Linus recited lines from the New Testament.

I’m Jewish and I loved that thing. Read more here.

Post 101!

Yay!

Oh, and R. “Diesel Sweeties” Stevens is looking for more readers.  I know you’re probably reading his stuff already, but I’m giving him a shout-out anyways.  I said I would since, yknow, we’re tight…

We’ll miss you, Don.

Guy Applies for a Job

A guy puts together an animation piece to apply for a job.  It’s hilarious and the music he uses is great. Thanks to Systemic Jen for sending this my way.  If you have anything worth sending my way, send it here.

Quick Post

I know, I know.  You missed me!  Few quick things.

Don LaFontaine (the movie trailer narrator) has passed away.  Plenty of jokes come to mind.  What are some of yours?

Tigh / Roslin has a campaign site. (Oh, and I spelled Roslin wrong in the last post.  Why?  Because I live in DC.  20 points if you understand that.)

Every BSG episode in 5 minutes. YES OF COURSE THERE ARE SPOILERS.

Did you see yesterday’s comic?  One of my favs.

Sterling Cooper Lets Me Down

As previously mentioned, Rosscott, Inc. is a big fan of Mad Men because it is amazing.  I know it has a big following in the design community, probably due to its subject matter.  As such, some designerds of my proportion have found a slight flaw:  they use Arial in the end credits.

Seems as good of a time as any to point out that The System is 100% Helvetica Neue.

True and Hilarious

Thanks, Alexbot3000 for posting about how McCain / Palin look like Col. Tigh / Laura Rosslyn Roslin (BSG).
