You should know, I’m on a real Mario kick right now. With the recent release of Super Mario Galaxy 2, not to mention E3 with all the other great returning classic platform heroes, I just want to play video games all day. But such desires of the id are played down and subdued, only to be lived out in my fantasies while I watch video game related media at work.
(Nah, I’m working, honestly… with a little peep here and there.)
So anyway, I got a real kick out of this:
Wonderwall is an interior design firm established by Masamichi Katayama. And it’s AWESOME. And what’s more, its website is also AWESOME. I do enjoy a well-presented Interior Design website, so this is excellent. What’s impressive about the site itself can be seen in motion, so go and click around. On top of all that site-ly […]
View ItemJust what is it about this video that amuses me the most? Is it the constant gyration, or is it the phone number mostly consisting of 666’s at the end? Or is it something I’m not even conscious of as of yet? Whatever it is, well, I wanted to share.

I like to see practical things with a creative/cute design spin. I was going through the backlog of one of my favorite websites and saw these adorable Japanese barcode designs, created by Japanese design company D-Barcode: What a cool way to enhance such a common thing! My favorites are umbrella-related!

You know that game Muscle March that I posted about earlier? Well, I finally remembered to buy it. It’s just as challenging as I thought it would be, with a dash of “oh gawd” near the third parts of stages.
I’m mainly making this entry because there’s a hot pink kappa in the village stage, which amuses me to no end:
Although I didn’t like it very much at first, the kappa has quickly become one of my favorite mythical creatures. What is it that I like about them? Is it the fact that there are many different interpretations of them historically, or that they can be downright adorable in modern depictions? Or maybe it’s just […]

Yes! My personal Top 7. Why 7? Because it’s lucky!
I’m a great fan of short things; short stories, short animations. They’re all opportunities to show a powerfully concise moving, touching, or just plain funny story. They require a special kind of skill to execute, and all the better when they’re visually unique!
I won’t say too much about each of these animations, or else I would be spoiling them. Needless to say, they mostly speak for themselves.
