Droid Robot Font: The Only Font You’ll Want This Week

August 13, 2023 by noemi

I am not knowledgable when it comes to fonts. You’re talking to the girl who used to use Comic Sans as the default font in her company e-mails! (Typophiles, don’t get a heart attack, okay?) I do know, however, how to recognize a fun font that will make your days at work more enjoyable. It doesn’t mean you have to use the font for official correspondence, but I am pretty sure you can find a lot of other uses for it.

So what font am I talking about? The Droid Robot Font. The font that will get Android lovers all worked up, I assume. I don’t even have an Android device, but I still think that this font is cool! Take a look up there again. [Read more…] about Droid Robot Font: The Only Font You’ll Want This Week

Old Old Spice Guy Versus New Old Spice Guy

August 7, 2023 by noemi

Old Spice Guys
Old Spice Guys

So what are you doing at 12 noon (Eastern Standard Time) today? In case you do not have anything better to do, or you just feel like slacking on a Tuesday morning, why don’t you tune in to the biggest duel of the year?

The Web has been abuzz with news about the new Old Spice Guy, Fabio. Just in case you have been hiding under a humongous rock, let me tell you a little about Fabio. He’s this Italian fashion model/actor who became world famous because of his appearances on the covers of tons of romance novels. You know that hunky guy with long, flowing, blond hair? That’s Fabio. Why Old Spice has chosen him to be their new brand ambassador, I have no idea. But whatever floats your boat. [Read more…] about Old Old Spice Guy Versus New Old Spice Guy

This Is What Leonard Nimoy Does These Days

July 29, 2023 by noemi

Ever wondered what the famous Leonard Nimoy has been doing in the past years? Many of us know him as Spock and nothing else, but some of you may not know that he is also a photographer. In fact, last year, he held an exhibit called Secret Selves at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.

A lot can happen within a year, though, and it seems that the venerable Spock has had another career change in the recent months. That is, if Bruno Mars and his recording label can be believed. Now I have nothing against Bruno Mars, but let’s just say that he is not part of my daily playlist. (If you are averse to his music, bear with me. You won’t regret it.)

Anyhow, his song title “The Lazy Song” has an official alternate video, which will make the day of Spock-lovers (both my hands raised). Then again, if you have no sense of humor, you just might want to send Bruno Mars a death threat for daring to portray your idol in such a way. If you feel that way, think again. Vulcans may not experience emotions like we do, but Leonard Nimoy is very much human.

Enjoy!

Adam Savage Does Doctor Who

July 28, 2023 by noemi

I know I just posted a Doctor Who infographic yesterday, but this video is too good to pass up. I may not have seen the series yet, but I sure as heck am familiar with Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame. I don’t know about you, but I find him to be the most endearing member of the team.

Recently, he has attracted more attention, thanks to his stint dancing in a cage. Yes, a cage. To the theme from Doctor Who. Backing up Adam Savage is Arc Attack, and the cage is flanked by two Tesla coils to complete the setup.

The performance was given in this year’s Makers Faire, giving attendees a treat that they probably did not expect. If you’re feeling low or you just have some time to waste, this video is the perfect thing to watch. The music + Adam’s robot moves and gyrations = a hilarious few minutes!

Adam Savage, you rock!

Angry Birds for Real

July 27, 2023 by noemi

It’s been a while since I last played this overly addictive game, but there is no denying that there are still people who are only starting to get hooked. Unsurprisingly, businesses will continue to ride this wave as long as it can bring them benefits. And Deustche Telekom is not exempt from this.

Earlier this month, the telecommunications giant teamed up with Rovio, the creators of Angry Birds, to promote their new services. In a Spanish town called Terrassa, they set up a real-life Angry Birds scene, complete with pigs, birds, bricks, and what-have-you. To top it off, this talented band provides a jazzed up version of the game’s theme. Never mind that the people who participated in the event were all invited to be there and paid (I assume). The whole thing still looks fun.

Some of you may be sick of the birds by now, but this video just might change your mind.

I wonder if this will set off a string of copycat events?

Dr. Seuss Does Pokemon

July 25, 2023 by noemi

Or maybe it should be Pokemon does Dr. Seuss. Whichever way you see it, the results of the Draw2D2 Dr. Seuss-Pokemon Mashup which was held in the past two weeks are worthy of viewing over and over again. There isn’t much to be said about the “contest” – the contributors of the blog were simply tasked with coming up with original art work that would put elements from Dr. Seuss and Pokemon together.

As they say, one’s imagination is the limit. And boy, do these people have awesome imaginations! If their work is anything to go by, there should be some pretty interesting worlds and characters in their heads.

There are several pieces showcased in the blog ((Draw2D2)), but here are the three that I like the most.

drseuss_pokemon
This is by Ian Brauner. Dr. Seuss meets Pikachu and fish. I don’t know, but the fish reminds me of Klaus (Heissler) in American Dad. And don’t you just love the umbrella?

Seuss-Pokemon_Andy_Hunter
This is by Andy Hunter. Seusemon, indeed! I can’t decide which I like better – Grinkachu or Hortopillar. On the one hand, Grinkachu sounds so much better, but Hortopillar looks better visually.

Pokemon_DrSeuss_jwelborn
I think this is the best of the lot – it’s drawn by Jason Welborn. The art is simple but the rhyme that goes with it is superb. Click on the image to better read the text. Theodor Seuss Geisel himself would be proud of this work, don’t you think?

I think these guys should put their heads together and make their own version of not-so-common children’s books.
