Work as if you were in the early days of a better nation. Beautiful work from Hoefler & Frere-Jones. The most fitting post-election sentiment we’ve seen yet.
The After Deadline Quiz: edit The New York Times. Even The Times admits its susceptible to grammatical blunders and usage slips. Can you find the errors in these problematic passages?
The Double Reverse Bradley Effect. Probably the final days for That’s Right Nate, one of my favorite tongue-in-cheek conservative blogs… at least until the next election.
31 amazing videogame costumes. Probably the nerdiest thing we’ve ever posted on Bureaucracy, but there’s some bold craftsmanship to be admired here.
Amazon introduces Frustration-Free Packaging. Instead of the obnoxious “clamshell” plastic packaging, some of the best-selling products from Fisher-Price, Mattel, and Microsoft will come in recyclable boxes, free of excess packaging materials. Still, this might convince kids that Santa does his shopping online. More info from Amazon.
Make your hair look like Don Draper’s. Just in time for Halloween, NYTimes‘ The Moment Blog has tips on getting that Mad Men do. If you do go as Don Draper this Friday, just be sure you act the part. If you don’t, please avoid dressing as Gov. Palin or any of these.
A selection of the 50 best DVD covers from the Criterion Collection. Sure Criterion DVDs cost around $30 a pop, but I’m willing to shell out the extra cash for a great film that sits pretty on my shelf.
Andrew Bird + Yo-Yo Ma = String-based Awesomeness. It doesn’t get too exciting until Bird breaks into his signature whistling and plucking, but considering it’s an impromptu jam (is it still called a jam if you use classical instruments?), I’d say Bird and Ma sound pretty sharp.
Quantum of Solace premieres in London. Set for a November 14 release date, the early reviews are mixed, but the general consensus promises a shorter, darker action flick.
