Naked People


Behold, 24 people shot clothed and unclothed, before and after. Click to watch the transition take place. It’s fun to see how certain stuff fits under the fabric. Also fun to know what I’m imagining when I get nervous. Have a look, but be warned, though this is artsy not porn-y, and fun to look at, it’s probably also NSFW.

FUN VIDEO: Magic Tie

Surely someone noticed and let him go on anyway. How fun is that?

Honorary Doggler: Mark Shouldice

I can’t do this story any justice. You’ll have to “read” (it’s told mainly through pictures) it for youself. It’s amazing though, and true, and fun, and told by artist/writer Franke James, and begins with the question above. What would you say?

Mark Shouldice, you are now my hero.

Toronto’s Punny

Yup, our denim-loving brothers to the north sure know how to turn a phrase when naming a business, but they’re not the only ones. Pop over to the Torontoist to check out their complete list, then start a “pun hunt” (you’d think there’d be a more clever name for that… I tried though, there’s really not) in your own town.

For my part, I’ve spotted the following in lower Manhattan and beyond:

I’m not entirely sure they all qualify really…

Let It Snow


I know I know, it hardly feels like the holidays without snow. The weather can’t always be counted on to do the right thing, so I’ve taken to making my own.



Why’s it always got to be a white Christmas?

Sweatshirt

Playing with people on Craigslist… this time in the name of a sweatshirt.

The Funest House On The Block?

Yup, that would probably be the one with the 80 channel Christmas light display…

Thanks to Brian Battjer for sharing this years ago.

This guy is amazing. And who knew broccoli was so creative. Check what happens when the whole family gets together.

A BetaMaXMas

Whatever you were doing, prepare to stop doing it now. BetaMaXMas is a walk down memory lane, loaded with Christmas specials from 20+ years back. Adjust the rabbit earns for minimal fuzz, check in with TV Guide to see what’s on when, then flip around. I’m going in for my second hour starting now…

Blow Out The Interactive Cake For Charity

When I’m not hanging out with Jake plotting fun things, I’m busy at my day job. Chained to my mac devising ideas for Cunning. It’s hard work, but someone has to do it.

I’ve been there for 10 years (wowzer!) and this year is our 10th birthday.

To celebrate we’ve baked a special online birthday cake. Go to http://www.cunning.com/birthdaycake, blow out the candles (no really, try it) and have a wish on us. We’ll match it by supporting our fellow youngsters with a donation to Action For Children or, in the U.S., Children in Need. Turn on your mic and speakers for best results. No mic or speakers? No problem, just blow anyway and make a wish.
