Music blocks.

LEGO does...the music video. Sweet.

The Wonderland Characters

Check-out Michael Kutsche's sketches for the characters in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Read the story of how he landed the Sony Imageworks gig here. I would love to see the early sketches and less Disney-fied versions of these creatures (although they look superbly creepy already).

Monday with Merton

Merton, improv piano player extraordinaire, freestyles in real time with random strangers on Chat Roulette. Just what you need on a Monday.

It's a sign.

We braved the rain today and rocked-up to a tiny cafe called Props Caffe on Blågårdsgade in Copenhagen that looked like a scene out of a Russian film (Socialist posters on the wall, old wooden furniture and candles). We played backgammon for two hours over Chai lattes and nuts, without any dirty looks from the waitstaff (which would be unheard of in NYC or London). On our way out (when we finally decided to leave), a few stickers around the door caught my eye.






And then, a few steps further, another great sign.


It's funny what you see when you look a little closer.

Beer label musings

Lagunita's Brown Shugga (great freaking name), unfortunately being used a a candle holder and not a refreshing beverage, piqued my curiosity (it was sitting alone on a big oak table in a quaint little bar). I started reading the small print around the label, which was quite funny and somewhat cryptic:

We believe this special ale is something unique. Feeding brown cane sugar to otherwise cultured brewery yeast is akin to feeding raw shark to your gerbil. It is unlikely to ever occur without human intervention. And it looks weird besides. But it has happened and now it's too late.





I love when you find messages in unexpected places, like on the bottom of an Innocent Smoothie carton, or inside the cap of a Snapple.
