Singing the Yellow Bird praise
Groucho Marx said: “Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana”
Yellow Bird, on the other hand, flies because the idea or the Mission, as stated on their website, is a simple, solidly grounded concept based on community and conscientiousness. Oh, and charity. These 3 c’s, coupled with an original finished product are an example of the kind of intelligent change we all keep talking about, but seem to have trouble putting into action. I mean, a t-shirt designed by the guys from The National ? Who can resist ! Oh…and yer giving my money to charity…nice.
Did I mention they’re a Montreal-based, non-profit initiative ?
new apartment

The Photographic Dictionary
“the photographic dictionary is dedicated to defining words through the literal, figurative and personal meanings found in each photograph.”
I got a nice surprise today. This photograph of mine was chosen to represent the word Pear in what is becoming an interesting new project. Take a couple of minutes to browse through the whole thing, it’s well worth it !
Dummer
“In the present time of environmental urgency, catastrophic wars, soaring gas prices and economic gloom, can there be a car more senseless, unintelligent and offensive than Hummer? When I see someone driving a Hummer, I can almost hear: “HEY, LOOK AT MY DICK. AND BTW, I’M RICH AND FUCK YOU AND YOUR ENVIRONMENT!” So, here’s a small way to get back at them:
Introducing the all-new Dummer. The next time you see a Hummer, tag the logo and turn into a Dummer.”
- Ji Lee
Ji Lee is so much more than awesome. Go to his website, you can spend hours there and have many of those moments where you think to yourself: “fuck, why didn’t I think of that !” Make sure you find his business card, it’s well worth looking for.
