Evil Mad Kitties on Cheezburger
Neat! Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories cats Harley (left) and JellyBean (right) are making a guest appearance on I Can Has Cheezburger? today.
[These two– the Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories Feline Auxiliary— seem to show up in a lot of our projects. Like here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.]

Clarity in Industrial Design
On our last trip to Urban Ore, we found this fantastic example of illustration as an element of industrial design. The “Sun Dial” on this 8mm Bell & Howell 333 wind-up movie camera is absolutely foolproof. If only all camera controls were so clear!
Here’s what the rest of the camera looks like. Sorry about the busy background–those pretty tube boxes are awfully distracting. You can see the normal, wide, and telephoto lenses here. Note that the red and yellow rectangles on the viewfinder correspond to the ring color on the lens choice as well. (Where’s my digital conversion for this thing, anyway?) |
Enjoy new taste thrills with skewered food!
The cheerful vintage packaging card for these lovely Kenberry stainless skewers proclaims that “whatever you like, it will taste better on a skewer.” This set came from the hallowed halls of Urban Ore in Berkeley. It is hard to imagine anyone who could have resisted the exhortation to “enjoy barbecue taste thrills year round indoors & out!” More pictures including close ups of all of the suggested skewer uses (“for individual shish-kebob service,” “for meat birds,” and “for good eating”) are in this flickr set for your enjoyment.

Charming Japanese Notebooks
“Most advanced quality Gives best writing features” is a great not-quite-nonsensical slogan we found on a charming little notebook from Kinokuniya’s stationery store in Japantown in San Francisco. Another is “Made of paper specially prepared in Tokyo.” Or is that “Made of paper” and the booklet is “Specially prepared in Tokyo”? In either case, we’re always on the lookout for little booklets for TGIMBOEJ and these fit the bill perfectly.
