80′s inspired pop is alive and well

Holy moses, I’m addicted to Donkeyboy‘s 80s’-inspired jam, “Ambitions.” It’s the perfect throw-back that could have easily found its way onto soundtracks for Boogie Nights, Sixteen Candles or Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Seriously, you’ll be bringing back the neon and scrunchies after givin’ this one a spin. So fresh!

Make your iPod or iPhone look friendly

FriendsWithYou is selling these adorable skins for iPods and iPhones. They come in different designs and they’re available for all iPod models. It’s too bad I already have a case for my iPod Touch! I would’ve purchased the Mr. Phantom X Skin (pictured below on the right).

This will really make you want to get away

I love traveling and this website makes me want to travel even more. Wejetset is a part store, part magazine all-around awesome modern travel website that takes the excitement involved with taking trips and packs it all into one place. The thought of purchasing travel stuff from the store makes me feel like a kid buying a new backpack for the school year! The City Notes section is drool-worthy, too.

Pondering is best with a beard

LG is a brand that totally gets it or at least has hired an agency that does, and I’m loving what they’ve come up with. For the past couple months they’ve been pushing an online ad campaign featuring James Lipton called Give It A Ponder that’s centered around the perils of texting before you think. It’s relevant to their audience, pays homage to the fine art of beard stroking, and just plain funny. What’s not to love about that?

I so want this camera!

OMG, Pentax came out of nowhere with this one! The Optio H90 is seriously a work of art. Wide angle 5x optical zoom, 12.1 megapixels, 2.7 inch LCD and widescreen HD video. Sign me up!

Weapons! And the Cookie Monster!

This painting by Paco Pomet is my new desktop wallpaper and new favorite piece of art. Don’t ask why. Just compare yourself to it and realize how much greater it is.

Let the games begin.

A new season of Layer Tennis is kicking off and this means I immediately mark my Friday afternoons as busy. If you’re unfamiliar with Layer Tennis, it’s only the greatest thing ever. Two sick-as-fuck designers swap a file back and forth in real-time, adding to and embellishing the work. Each artist gets fifteen minutes to complete a “volley” and then it’s posted to the site. A third participant, typically a snarky writer, provides play-by-play commentary on the action, as it happens. An exhibition match went down today and if the results are any indication of what’s to come, we’re in for one hell of a season.
