- McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Our Daughter Isn't a Selfish Brat; Your Son Just Hasn't Read "Atlas Shrugged".
"The thing is, in this family we take the philosophies of Ayn Rand seriously. We conspicuously reward ourselves for our own hard work, we never give to charity, and we only pay our taxes very, very begrudgingly. "
- Cyberoptix TieLab: hand silkscreened TIES THAT DON'T SUCK!
Actually, really true. There are absolutely hordes of ties in here that I would actually wear. Astonishing.
- Mike Marcus – Contemporary Artist and Photographer
This guy is offering ten quid portrait photography to, essentially, passers-by, so that everyone can have a decent profile pic on any on-line service they care to use it on. Wish I'd thought of this. And also that I wasn't a total bag of arse at portrait photography.
- Mule Design Studio’s Blog: Tips On Buying Design
This is, frankly excellent. It can be boiled down to: expect to pay money, so have an idea how much you can afford.

- The Non Autumn/Winter 2010 ‘The Golden Dawn’
Some of the most interesting bits of clothing design I've seen in ages. Absolutely brilliant costume inspiration. (I'd like to link the the label's own website, but it's the most user-unfriendly bit of flash crap I've seen in ages, so look at this article instead.)
