Something Neat – Alien VS Predator

Alien vs Predator - Chess

IO9 had a great take on the “Alien vs Predator” theme recently, with the two moral foes (?) taking eachother on in fairly mild sports, such as tennis and chess. Wallpaper-quality images are available!

Something Neat – Kutiman’s YouTube Mashups

kutiman brings us some new amazing YouTube music mashups. If you’re a fan of the mashup/DJ style music (including Wax Tailor or Cut Chemist), you’ll get a kick out of these YouTube inspired tracks.

Ness Munny – AlbertArt

AlbertArt brings us another inspired Munny custom, this time focusing the video-game spotlight on Earthbound’s Ness. This custom “sheds his ‘goody-goody’ persona” in favor of a more Dennis the Menace style.

64 Colors – Marshall the Vinyl Toy

In December, I took a look at a wonderful poster-making group called 64 Colors. They’ve been up to quite a bit since then, with the creation of a new poster and a new vinyl toy. That’s right, they’ve taken Marshall (their trademark marshmallow man) and transformed him into an adorable vinyl toy.

StripGenerator – Lifehacker

Lifehacker recently posted a link to a fun web comic maker called Stripgenerator. With it, you can create fixed-width comic strips using stylish black-and-white (with an occasional red highlight) characters, shapes, and speech bubbles.

I’ve been having fun making some of my own comics, and you should too.

Contest Alert:
Post links to your own works in the comments! The best comic will be selected and featured on this blog next Tuesday. Have at it!

Getting Organized – Why We End Up In Low Energy States

There’s a lot to be said about getting organized. And a lot of us would love to consider ourselves orderly individuals. However, clutter usually creeps into our lives no matter how careful we may be.

Why does this happen? Disorder is a natural phenomenon because we usually define “order” in such a way that it goes against how things naturally occur. “Nature abhors a vacuum” because a vacuum is extremely ordered – no matter whatsoever. Disorder is easy because it only takes one particle to destroy a perfect vacuum.
