daily awesome internet finds
I'm Andy Thompson. By day, I'm Creative Director at an awesome company called onebluebrick ™ (proof). By night.... well, same thing, but I also tend to waste my time tweeting absolutely worthless bits of information to a group of random people who for some reason like to hear that kind of thing. I used to be in a band, but now record mostly noise.

This is so ridiculous it’s ridiculous.

Vimeo has done it again! Pretty amazing work.

Pretty much the greatest music video ever.

Girl Scout Cookie Locator

When I read this, I heard Cookie Monster say the phrase “LOCATE COOKIES”

Everyone loves Girl Scout Cookies, but who can tell when they will be available in your neighborhood? Little Brownie Bakers’ Cookie Locator can. I bet your cool Web 3.0 service doesn’t have a “LOCATE COOKIES” button.

I’d usually say that tilt-shifting is a bit overdone, but anything involving heavy machinery and trucks fulfills my fantasies from when I was 5. This is awesome.

Sam O’Hare’s mesmerizing tilt-shift view of New York, composed of 35,000+ photographs.

tourfilter.com/newyork

I’ve been looking for a deadsimple daily listing of concerts in New York for way too long now. Going.com doesn’t cut it, most other sites have too much commentary on individual bands and the blogs tend to focus on the more obscure acts. Tourfilter is exactly what I was looking for.

Sidenote: If you have the chance, go see Black Joe Lewis tonight at the Bowery.

Brooklyn Public Library. Every time I come here I feel like I’m about to stand trial for some heinous crime against the empire.

zoee: Lego Boardroom Table by ABCG: ‘making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.’ Charles Mingus The recently formed Advertising agency Boys and Girls approached us with this problem, a gorgeous Geaorgian house with high ceilings, great spaces and original joinery, but décor that was decidedly solicitory. The brief was succinct; playful but not juvenile, they gave us the Mingus quote (above) too. Wow I want this.

OMG, this is wrong on so many levels. This woman (who has seven kids under 8 years old!) goes on 40 day fasts, nearly killing herself “for God”.
