StumbleUpon of the Week - Amautalab  →
This is…by far…the weirdest portfolio site I’ve ever encountered. Even if you don’t skim through the portfolio, the “Space - Forest - Ocean” part is worth a look. You’ll be scratching your head and probably saying “Double-Ewe-Tee-Eff?” out loud, but it’s definitely unique!

Designer of the Week: Darren Firth →
Normally I would post pictures of select works by the designer of the week, but I really enjoy Darren Firth’s website. The way it scrolls is quite nice. That, and there’s an awful lot of good work floating around in there. Please take a look!

The 10 best celebrity computer ads of the 1980s -... →
A few observations about these commercials: Computers have come a LONG WAY in the past 20something years. Advertisements have ALSO come a long way in the past 20something years. Apple ads have always been pretty damn epic. Bill Cosby brags about a 16k memory. I feel like crying. I really liked the Shatner ad….until I watched the Jon Cleese ads. Hilarious!

Gehry’s original idea for the hat was so Gaga. Maybe they should team up more often.
