Project Runway: Casa-ek-saaaaaaaaaaaak-lee

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

All I can say is “Oh Casanova… *sigh*”. Man I love this show and he totally makes it wonderfully hilarious. I think that the go big or go home attitude is wonderful. And the “old people, sluts and flamingo dancers” line, priceless. Ek-saaaaaaaaaaaak-lee.

Cufon, a god send!

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

So for any of you developers out there who have been living under a rock like (like myself until a few months ago) there is this incredible JavaScript plug-in caller Cufon. Cufon allows you to render any font you want on your web page without having to convert everything to images and thus worry about SEO issues. The best part is super that it is easy to install! Really it is a simple five step install, which goes a little something like this:

Amazing Stop-Paint Animation

Friday, July 9th, 2010

BIG BANG BIG BOOM – the new wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.

So surfing around I stumbled onto this amazing artist. He goes by Blu, and makes these amazing stop action movies. I can only image that this must take forever to make. The concept is very unique and interesting, sort of an evolution of everything starting with the big bang and going through the destruction of the world, and the execution delightfully playful. Blu does a really wonderful job playing with size, proportion and a mixture of two the three dimensional media to create this very entertaining work of art. Have a look and see what I am talking about. Blu also have several other works as well and a quirky website, which though a bit chaotic and a touch annoying at times features several of his other works (seen here). Definitely worth checking out!

My iPad is Hanging in, the MFA?!?

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Wowzers! That is incredible!! I am pretty sure that I could not do that with oils on canvas, never mind a iPad?!?! As if that is not enough, this only took 3 hours. Nuts, absolutely nuts. I guess that I could use this as another point of justification for getting an iPad, right? The good old “I can use it for work” line…

Puma Hotness!

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

So as you may have noticed, I have my “pumas of the month” displayed on my website. It was suggested to me that I also open up this forum for a puma of the week, or perhaps pumas of the day (should there be enough of a response). Thus I put this out to you to supply me with the hottest pumas you can find. The selected shoe will be displayed on Monday of course with shout outs to the finder of said hotness. Please email images of the pumas to me at ben@iamcaplan.com. I look forward to seeing what you find! Happy hunting :-)
