I have no witty idiotic intro for FTILFF this week. I’m kind of out of my head with this whole VTech incident. School shootings always did really mess with my core. Anyway, if you’re reading this, it means our Robot Overlords did their job and posted this while I’m clearing my head in Tennessee for the next few days.
- “Stop Hate, Love Something” t-shirt - It’s been a minute since I found a shirt I liked. Actually that’s a lie, I just felt like I was abusing it as a FTILFF topic. I think this one is just awesome enough that I bought it. And now The Wife™ knows.
- “Hide & Seek” by Imogen Heap - OK, so I’m a total poser and heard this on SNL last weekend (the artsy send-up sketch of The OC death scene). But I’m obsessed, and I don’t know why. You can bet this will make it on to a future mix tape at some point.
- Secret bookcase doors - What self-respecting nerd and/or fan of ’80s television has never wanted one of these? Okay, okay, I’m sure they’ll be wicked expensive and yes, if I were better with The Tools I could make on myself. But if I were to ever win the lottery that I’ve never played, this would be high on the list of “Things To Get.” Well, this and a monkey butler.
- The Magic of Disney World (HDR photo) - I admittedly loathe Disney for being evil. The Wife™ says this is stupid. Nonetheless, this is an amazing HDR photo that does a great job of capturing the wonder of Disney World as seen by a child (at least from my own memories).
- NIN’s new CD trick - I’m not a NIN fan, never really have been. I do find Trent Reznor’s undying devotion to the artistic (read: not-commercially driven) process admirable. First, this CD’s tracks were leaked around the world via USB key drives left in public places. Now this: the CD reacts thermally when you play it in the CD player. Goes in black, comes out white with binary code that translates to a website address. Beautiful attention to packaging and delivery.
Be good to one another this weekend, gang. There is some really screwed up things in that world out there.
