NES Mouse

While ladies drool over shoes and handbags, us boys have our saliva shed over things like this!

Mouse Vomit came up with this foam model of NES Mouse using the aesthetics of a NES System’s gamepad for his school project. UBER AWESOMENESS. He has to turn this into a functional mouse and sell it! ARGH!!! In the mean time, you could make your own NES Mouse like this.

Reminds me of the World’s Largest and the World’s Smallest NES controller too! Check out other equally super cool NES gamepad mods like the Mp3 Player, DVD Player and Cellphone!

Our Children’s Saturday Morning Cartoon Will Look Like This

Award-winning German-based 24-year old Irish filmmaker and artist David O’Reilly has a new short film called Please Say Something. It mingles with the classic ‘Cat & Mouse’ cartoon tale but tells a story about their relationship of love and loss.

The animation started out as a five 25-seconds episodes last year and now is completed with 23 episodes with a duration of 10 minutes. The highspeed futuristic animated drama features a brilliant stripped down aesthetics of 3D and 2D animation with bright colors and cool soundtrack. Watch the film in full below;

PSS headlined the Future Shorts at BAFTA recently and already won the Golden Bear for best short at the 2009 Berlinale.

O’Reilly’s other work includes animation sequences for the 2005 comedy film Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the 2007 Sundance premiered Son of Rambow. He also did a cool iPhone app called iHologram that features an illusion of a 3D hologram jumping off the screen! He is currently doing the stage visuals for M.I.A. and can be seen here.

Technicolor Post-Its

Eepybird, the guys who did The Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments, came up with a new fun project called The Sticky Note Experiments. The video explores the endless possibilities of using 280,951 Post-It Notes in a mind-bending, multi-colored, slinky-like office musical. And you know how I like ‘em colorful things!

COOOL GILLA!

See how the Post-It inventor, Art Fry, reacts watching the awesome viral video, saying it’s “Cool and creative” and “The best part is when they’re done, they can use it all over again.” Sweet!

The Good, the Bad and the (F)ugly Comic Sans

Yesterday Lifehacker posted an article entitled Should Comic Sans Be “Banned”? and here’s an excerpt;

It’s not the only free-spirited font installed by default on most computers, but it’s almost certainly the most widely, and often inappropriately, used. If you had your way, would Comic Sans ever see the light of day?

If I had it my way? Click HERE to read my answer I posted a year ago.

The Ban Comic Sans movement is going strong and they’ve come up with a short documentary about the hideous, treacherous, and hell-sent font.

Comic Sans by Sam and Anita

It’s so bad, it didn’t even make it on Squidspot’s ‘Periodic Table of Typefaces: Popular, Influential & Notorious‘ poster haha!
