Swissted
I really wish these posters from swissted were real. Swiss design and punk rock are two things that I love like crazy. To be honest, if I had the opportunity, I’d probably buy way too many of them. So maybe it’s a good thing that they’re just images on the internets… [via]

Further Adventures in Ipsum
Huh. A little Hipster Ipsum made it into Android’s Design Pattern documentation. P.S. Can’t find it? Look here. [via]

Shut Up and Play the Hits
There was talk that LCD Soundsystem was eventually going to release the footage from their three and a half hour long final show on DVD. And while I was pulling for that (and a decently mastered audio version) I’m almost more excited that it’s getting the documentary treatment with Shut Up and Play the Hits.

None More Blackletter
Tim Denee has put together this really beautiful, free PDF calendar for 2012. If you’ve got a ream of A3 paper sitting around your office, don’t hesitate to print it off and hang it up. [via]

Plimpton & Hemingway
He keeps track of his daily progress—“so as not to kid myself”—on a large chart made out of the side of a cardboard packing case and set up against the wall under the nose of a mounted gazelle head. The numbers on the chart showing the daily output of words differ from 450, 575, 462,…

WTF by the Numbers
Mitchell Scherr has done a statistical breakdown of what Marc Maron calls his listeners during the intro for WTF over the past 50 episodes. I’ve always really enjoyed hearing “What the fuckstables.” so any time I can see that in print, I’m happy…

Moving Day
If anyone notices a significant speed increase on the site here, it’s because I’ve finally gotten around to moving it from a well meaning but poky VPS over at DreamHost to a shiny new supercharged account at WP Engine.

Peel Slowly & See
Does anybody want to buy a lightly used, month and a half old Peel? It’s a pretty great little device — and its complimentary iOS app is fantastic — but we’re just not using it as much as I thought we would. What can I say? Sarah is too damn fast with the normal remote for me to…

Cleaning Up Unicode Cruft in WordPress
While helping someone with WordPress move earlier this week, I noticed a bunch of weird Unicode cruft (like ’ and –) in their posts and comments. Apparently, MySQL databases don’t like it when you switch their default character encoding. But different web hosts have different ways of doing things — so default character encodings can (and…
