Carousel: Week Ending 27th November 2009
[ 27 November 2009 ]
Sarah is the best, because she told me that you can choose a colour & print your own GET EXCITED & MAKE THINGS sign! (I just switched up the colours in Photoshop.)
Internet Vices by Patrick Moberg.
Shibari makes its way into an editorial, & it’s not safe for work!
Felt & Wire is radness2 for paper nerds.
Sarah Wilson, who I’m sure would be one of my BFFs if only we didn’t live on opposite sides of the planet, writes about checking in with her “inside people”.
Four Arguments for The Elimination of Television. Thanks Sean.
Christine wrote to me to tell me about her show, The Wishing Tree, which will be at BATS Theatre in December. Wellington represent! More details here!
Nicole emailed me this article, Stars & Stripes, about pseudo-patriotism & foreign travel. V. interesting!
Confessions of an Aussie porn star.
Slice of Style is a very nice round-up of what’s going on in the worlds of fashion, style & design.
Jazzi interviews Gale Parker of Clothespin for Style Section L.A.
Sam & I went to see the Red Bull BK One last Wednesday, & it was amazing. He wrote about it for NME & you should read it!
The lovely Amy Palko was interviewed by Jamie Ridler & it’s how I found out about full moon dreamboards. I am so doing this. Wanna join me?
Bring a piece of New York City into your home with these (fully customisable!) Underground Signs! They are so excellent. I would love one which said International Playgirl HQ! Like this, see?
This is The Perfect Interview Test — you can determine the strengths of a job applicant just by watching how they cross the road. If you’re interested, I am somewhere between a matador & a wader.
What You Can Learn About Blogging Business Models from a Hip-Hop Artist Who Used to Hustle on the Corner Just to Put Food in His Daughter’s Mouth. An Ode To Biggie, Small Business and Making Money. It’s Juicy. Longest blog post title ever, & not just a gimmick. Read it. It is really true for anyone who wants to make a little coin from this whole blogging thing.
Moonbows are a rad phenomenon. There’s a short article on it & then a photo of a moonbow in New Zealand as well as one in Hawaii.
Fafi is working on her comic!
Illustrated Missed Connections are so excellent.
Three DD is 3D photos of boobs. Obviously not safe for work but pretty cool. Even better if you actually have a pair of 3D glasses. Luckily, I keep a pair in my wallet at all times! (You think I’m kidding — I’m not!)
Tim Ferriss on The Benefits of Pissing People Off.
Fun Twitter stuff: tweetstitch (“where tweets are immortalized with fabric & floss”) & TweetBookz (“print high quality books of tweets from any Twitter account!”). Perfect holiday gifts for the person who really, truly does have everything.
An oldie but a goodie, thanks Anya!
This ad from the New Zealand Book Council is fantastic.
Okay, that’ll about do it… Have a fantastic weekend!
Love letters & feather headdresses,
Tags: carousel Add Gala on Twitter!
As usual, I now have about 15 tabs open, and I’m gonna check out all your links in a sec.
Just wanted to thank you for the ‘get excited poster’ – i have it as a shitty, tiny, low-res print-out. time for an upgrade!
Great carousel this week! I love that missed connection blog. Also, I’ve been avoiding checking in with my inside people because I’m afraid of what they might say and there’s nothing I can do to change our situation at the mo.
For some reason I don’t get anything when I click on the Shibari link.
We’re having an how-to on Shibari, and photoshoot, in Filament IV – I’m really excited about it. And your page in Filament III looks magnifico.
Thanks for the linky link :) Gale is so awesome. Can’t wait to introduce you two when you’re in LA! You will love her stories.
Love the rest of the links as always, 3D boobs and internet vices!? YES.
Yay for Fafi releasing and working on more! A lovely weekend to you. :)
I love the article about checking in with “inside people” – very poetic and put in a way most people don’t think of…I also liked the travelling American article; I do think it’s a bit sad though because one of the commentors has very clearly missed the point. Talk about bringing your own baggage!
The crossing the street interview is interesting; apparently I’m a Wader.
Now I’m off to read more about dreamboards & the article about blogging + Biggie (even though it was apparently published tomorrow?! time zone wackiness, perhaps?). Thanks for another round of great links Gala!
Wow, lots of links this time. These are great. Thanks, Gala.
Funny that you mention moonbows, I just discovered them the other day and was marvelling over some pictures and videos.
Its amazing how you manage to collect such great links everytime. Keep it up. Looking forward to the next list.
Holy moly! Moonbows! Thanks you times 4973873873 for showing me this! My mind is exploding!
Hi Gala
I’m glad to hear the download link made you so happy – such a groovy poster ! I’ve also added it (in green) to my desk space :-)
Love from Paris
thanx for sharing) reading and enjoying!!!)
Full Moon Dreamboards is such a cool concept. I’ve been making collages my whole life, since I possess no talent in drawing and painting and lately everything I have made in a collage on paper of polyvore has come to pass in some way. It’s my own personal brand of cut&paste crafty magic, and now that I have this cool idea I’m sure they will wax with power!
This research about gratitude made me think of you and TILT: scienceblogs.com/cognitivedail…. Keep it up!
You’re Welcome!
As always – a rad list! Great job!
Interesting links, as usual. The one about crosswalking wasn’t very accurate when it comes to me, though, because I have an irrational fear of crossing the streets. It’s not something expected when it comes to my overall personality, it’s just that I have this weird impression that I’ll be hit by a car eventually. Hard to explain.
the missed connections link is so sweet; I always love your links!
Thanks for including my link, Gala! I’m super excited about this show… xx
Wow! “Four Arguments for The Elimination of Television” is just amazing. It really makes me question how much we are controlled by our surroundings and how much we are missing out by not connecting with the environment. Thank you so much for putting it in Carousel.
Please include more articles and quotes like this! I’m starving for some truly original concepts and ideas.
Love, love that “get excited and make things” sign. These links always inspire me, thanks!
I saw a moonbow when I was camping at Uluru! I’ll never forget it. I thought I was dreaming it up, actually, as I’d never heard the phenomenon before I saw it myself.
Hey – great site!! Alice Grist from High Heeled enlightenment sent me over to check this out – then I just read how Sarah Wilson would be your BFF if not in Australia – I have just interviewed her (and Alice) on my blog… would love to do same for you.
Let me know – I’m doing a series on ladies who inspire.
Love what I see here.
I am from Australia too
