Animal Commercials That Rule

Flea/tick/mosquito-control for pets is A MUST, but why not consider some non-toxic solutions, too?


Wire Fox Terriers are so cute! Instead of buying one from a store or breeder, adopt a rescue!


All animals, even pigeons, are swerve-worthy.

For Those Who Live Life On the Edge…

Tank on Empty: Great site for broke people who can’t always afford to refuel the car.

A much better site description from Networkworld.com:

The Tank on Empty idea is simple enough: The site invites motorists to ignore the fuel-warning light for as long as they’re comfortable, note the number of miles they drive before refueling, and input the data online. For example, 30 of my fellow Toyota Corolla owners report having driven an average of 52 miles after the light, with one fearless soul checking in at an astounding 99 miles (of course, there’s no way to verify these claims).

Stats for my car, a Nissan Altima:

As my bank account is always in the negative, I think this information is going to prove very useful.

6.05.2008: New message from Trent on nin.com:

NEW BAND – NEW TOUR SAMPLER

I am proud to announce the final personnel lineup of nine inch nails for the foreseeable future. We’ve added, we’ve subtracted and we’ve wound up with unquestionably the strongest lineup I’ve EVER had. Joining me onstage will be Robin Finck, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Freese and Justin Meldal-Johnson.
We’ve been working on something really special for these shows and so far I couldn’t be happier with the results. We’ll be revealing some live performances shortly here on nin.com – in the meantime, we’ve posted some photos from rehearsals up on Flickr here.

Posted in art, cool with tags on May 31, 2008 by Kerin

Jason Freeny is “an artist and illustrator testing the limits of sanity.” He’s from NYC, very talented and you should really check out his website and his MySpace page (there’s a bunch of cool artists in the “Friends” section).

Some pieces that I especially like:

Freeny 1

“Anatomie Gummi Bär

Freeny 2

“Worlds Yet Imagined”

Freeny 3

“Visible Vinyl”

Freeny 4

Heavy Metal Magazine (March 2004)

You can totally see the Robert Williams influence. The bottom part of the graphite piece actually reminds me of the cover art for “Appetite for Destruction.” This is a good thing as I love both Williams and G’n'R. But that’s beside the point.
