All black tee Philly fitted with a black P.

Shotgun automatic pump action. Me with your wife, that’s automatic hump action.

It’s like this song was written for me.

Matta // Release The Freq

March 20, 2011 // Design + Music + Video

OMG I LOVE SHAPES SO MUCH.

I am pretty sure this video tapped into my brain. The color grading is great and the graphics are so restrained and beautiful. It’s a really simple concept but impeccably done. Somebody needs to invent robocop glasses that overlay information all subtle-like. I’d walk around looking sexy like Geordi La Forge all damn day.

Kim Holm did everything on this—the cinematography, editing, graphics, direction. All Kim everything.

My only complaint is that the song could be better. Frowny face.

My iPad and me: a review

March 19, 2011 // Apple + Review + Tech

So I rangled me up one of those shiney new iPads. It wasn’t easy. I had to promise my firstborn to a transient and then shoot a dolphin. But once I got those errands out of the way, I had to go wait in line at the Apple store for a while. Ugh.

I had waited (and sulked) through the entire year of iPad 1. I wanted one so bad, but in a rare instance of restraint, I held out for the inevitably better second version. I am glad I did. It is just sexy looking and feeling. It’s given my iPhone 4 bulimia. It feels natural in your hand and isn’t uncomfortable in the slightest. The front facing camera is also a nice addition. FaceTime works flawlessly, and it is much less awkward than you would imagine it to be.

I wish that the screen was retina a la the iPhone 4, but alas, it is not. It is still good though. It’s bright and the viewing angle is pretty impressive. I still wish that there was a file storage method. And notifications are still atrocious. Though those are more of a beef with iOS than the iPad.

The best thing about it, though, is the speed. It is just retarded fast. It is Usain Bolt on a jet ski running from the popo fast. Apps open and close instantly. The new processor makes it all so seamless. You almost become unaware of the device itself as everything is pretty much instant. The black bezel adds to that effect. Everything else melts away and it’s essentially just you and the content which creates an interesting experience. It is the most personal computer I have ever used.

Now, I’m not saying that it’s the best thing in the world, but if it were a conscious being and propositioned me, I wouldn’t say no.

Ps. I made this entire post on it because I’m fancy.

I’ve been on Mac Miller’s nuts for a while now. The kid’s got talent and people are noticing. He just made XXL’s freshman class cover. His latest mixtape, Best Day Ever, without trying to oversell it, is most dope. He’s a white, but doesn’t try to rap like he isn’t, or is, for that matter. The 19 year old just makes songs about what he’s about—which happens to be smoking and partying as of right now. And that’s fine with me. He makes good mood music.

And he looks exactly like Keith Haring which kind of freaks me out a little bit.

ABC logo treatments

March 11, 2011 // Design + Identity + Video

These were supposedly just dug up in some archives, but fake or not, they are retro and sexy. Kind of like Zooey Deschanel. Except sexy.

Mike Skinner just released his final album under The Streets’ name. I like it a lot—especially the production. The song below was released forever ago while he was putting out a song a week through twitter. It even exists on a mixtape. However, that original demo has been retooled and tweaked to wonderful effect. His music makes me want to live in a high rise apartment in a big city with big windows so that I can dance to it at night so everybody can see me but I can’t see them. That way they’re the perverts.
