Herman Miller makes beautiful chairs that I can’t afford. However, their new website, “Thoughtpile” provides a unique opportunity to voice your opinion and potentially win an expensive new chair. It’s a super clean, crafty site that reinforces the popularity of micro-blogging.

Nick Hornby said it best, “The making of a good compilation tape is a very subtle art.” It’s also an indie rock dating ritual. There’s a ridiculous amount of thought that goes into it so you don’t want to screw it up with a shitty looking CD cover. Look, this is a passion project that probably took up your entire evening so make it count on all fronts. [via boing boing]

An idiot in Arkansas left his iPhone in a McDonald’s and when he returned to pick it up, nudie photos of his wife were leaked online. He’s suing the golden arches for three-million nuggets. Probably bullshit but the tag line made me laugh. [via Wired]

Photographer Fred Muram curated this beatiful and amusing gallery of people kissing their ceilings. I love stuff like this.

Holy bagels and lox have I got a 2009 calendar just for you. They’re nice, they’re Jewish and they finally have their own calendar, ”Nice Jewish Guys“. Get to know Ira, Noah, Efran, Seth, Avi and don’t forget our super nice, super Jewish cover guy, Samuel. The calendar costs $12.95 and comes with all the Jewish holidays marked in. Consider it a mitzvah.

Dust Jacket is a new record by the multi-talented artist, designer, musician and school teacher Joel P West. Not only do I like Joel because we’ve shared Iceland stories over beers but his approach to creating an interactive dialogue with his fans is truly innovative. Dust Jacket is currently available only by trading something you have made. Be it a picture, a poem, whatever it might be, send it to Joel, he’ll post it on his site and then send you his record. I sent him a pizza.  What about you?
