And here it is:

System in the Wild: Spa Edition

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Systemic and all-around wonderful person Lindsay sends in today’s SitW.  A manly spa for metrosexuals in the greater Chicago area.  Nice logo work, though it feels strangely familiar

Awesome Typography Blog

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

LetterCult is a great site for those that are obsessed with typography as I am.  If you know how Aksidenz Grotesk is related to Arial, or pick up a piece of scrap paper out of the garbage because it had something really cool on it, this is probably the site for you.  Be sure to check out the Letterstream area, really cool.

Girls’s Costume Warehouse

It’s Halloween season again, according to my roommate’s girlfriend who decorated my apartment with ghosts and spiders and things.  As such, it’s costume season!  Here’s my favorite video that I drag out each October:

Here’s a ticket I can believe in.  Systemic and fellow web comicker Dern is making these cool shirts.  If you think it is cool and need yet another t-shirt and/or have money lying around, help him out.  Consider it stimulating the economy.

Rule 34 Showdown Today

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

I don’t think  I really need to say anything else.  It’s moments like this I’m glad I have a blog.  Go check out BoingBoing to see the details.

It’s been quite a while since we held our last IRC event, but with the solstice drawing the summer days to a wane, it’s time once again to dust off the #boingboing IRC channel and spend a few hours in a rousing community game of an old favorite, Rule 34 Showdown.

[...]

“RULE 34: Obama French Kissing Joe Biden!” I might cry. The denizens of #boingboing will go scrambling to find a link that illicitly matches the challenge. The first three people to come up with separate links and images for the same concept will be awarded first, second and third place points of decreasing denominations. At the end of the hour, the person with the most points will be declared the official RULE 34 PORNOGRAPHER OF #BOING BOING! At least for the week. And to make it all timeless fun, we’ll knock up all the links we accrue in the official transcript of the event, with the best images highlighted for fun.
