I’ve been trying to figure out how to turn some drawings into sculptures
and I believe i’ve fallen in love with dioramas.

Twitter Tracker on Coco
While Late Night’s replacement Jimmy Fallon is embracing the digital world, taking full advantage of fan involvement through Facebook and Twitter, Conan O’Brien, new host of The Tonight Show, is jumping on the bandwagon with a slightly different attitude:
A lot of sweet time was spent on those graphics.
I am not a Twitter fan. I think it’s self-indulgent nonsense, and this sketch underscores this point. Hooray for Conan

Just A Friend
Heineken made this genius little commercial.
The pacing of the shots reveals the story nicely. By the end, we find a group of drunk party people in a cab singing along to Biz Markie’s “Just A Friend” with their fellow cabbie. The tagline, “Let A Stranger Drive You Home” makes a beautiful lockup with some interesting attempts at ligatures. Heineken does their bit for responsible drinking with some classy design. Kudos.
The Real San Francisco Treat
THE IT’S IT!!!
Growing up in San Francisco, I never realized that this dessert was particular to the Bay Area. I guess I just assumed they were part of everybody’s childhood. Now that I know it wasn’t, I am doing my part to introduce this amazing ice cream sandwich to as many people as possible.
Turns out the It’s-It has been around since 1928, originally made and sold only at San Francisco’s Playland-At-The-Beach. You can see the illustration along the bottom of the packaging.
I assume they were sold at the “Pie Shop”
Once this funland was demolished in 1972, the It’s It ended with it. But in 1974, a factory was bought to distribute the It’s It and it still exists today right off of the 101 freeway in South San Francisco.
Contents of an It’s It: A scoop of vanilla ice cream smooshed between two large old-fashioned oatmeal cookies and then dipped into dark chocolate. So delicious.
Flavors of It’s It’s: Vanilla, Chocolate, Mint, and Capuccino. All amazing.
How can you resist this goodness?

Must watch
I know you don’t really love scary movies, and I wouldn’t say this is exactly scary. However, I was left feeling slightly paranoid, excited and confused all at the same time.
