Why suffer from ADD when you can revel in it?
- Sleeping dummies from the Quality Control gallery of Marc Steinmetz.

- This, this, and this, is a Land Rover. The distinction needs to be made clear. Lately I've seen one too many pimped-up long-wheelbase models with half a plumbing company of roll bars on it. That is no longer a Land Rover. That's somebody's goddamn poodle.
- Moco Loco. Another modern contemporary design site. Do we need another? Yes please. (But shouldn't that be contemporary modern design?)
- I may yet go to England.
- Oh, yum! guidebook, the Graphical User Interface Gallery.
- Bookmark this. Little domo-kun flash cartoons that rotate daily and are often quite charming. And no, I don't know what's going on either. Yay.
- Serious video resource at 'boards - The Creative Edge In Commercial Production. Animation, commercials, music videos, short films.
- Also an absurdly large collection of game commercials, mostly japanese. Use it carefully.
- Um, Reel Fishing III for Playstation. But look at those screenshots. I'm torn. What next? Longline? Trawler? Toothfish anyone? Add a poaching level and have a little GTA action?

By the lesson of basic engineering introduction, it was manufactured in the 2001 fiscal year using scrap wood." "Street performance robot." I like that. See also, 2002.

Okay, it's not funny anymore. I want the tabs back.
If Google's usability downgrade trips your surfing as well (or you just need the old version for some comparison screenshots), then they haven't yet disfigured the Swedish Chef version. Use it while you still can.
Thank Nick. Or go online and beat him up.
