Watch: “No Light, No Light” by Florence + The Machine

I might just consider buying one of the lithographs from the 1969 illustrated Alice in Wonderland to which Salvador Dalí lent his talents, as pointed out by io9. Because, you see, they look like this:
In looking up the price of a copy of the actual book (not found), I also turned up a video or three about the project:
With Xmas time just around the corner, feel free to take this post into account when considering how best to splurge on me…
It’s Ladytron. And a new music video from Ladytron at that!
Engadget asks the question that makes up the post title as it regards product names in the gadget world and comes up with a four prong answer. They categorize things into the columns of good, safe, meaningless or bad – examples, being Kindle, iPhone 4, Nokia N9 or Epic, in that order. The reasoning is pretty spot on and I especially like the acknowledgement that with enough time and consistency, even a meaningless naming scheme carried forward by a strong brand can produce recognizable monikers like BMW 328i. Or maybe I just like the fact that crossing over into automotive territory was necessary to make the point?
At the suggestion of both Dave and Hannah at work, I finally got around to watching PressPausePlay – and I must say that I’m duly impressed. I actually just stopped the film moments ago to look up more about Japanese visual artist Takafumi Tsuchiya. You can see his amazing 2011 show reel below:

The answer to which is now “Yes.” What a perfect companion to Murakami’s book.
It could be the chill in the air right now and the general disappearance of all things green and alive, but I’m really into Zola Jesus again and her new album Conatus is delightful. This comes from there:

I was just proclaiming how I didn’t have any reason to miss TV…and then this ad came on. Damn you, cable programming!
Amen, Jalopnik. Your description of the feeling I get when I see a Sheetz come into view is absolutely spot-on. As I beat the pavement from campus to campus, I can always rely on Sheetz to get me warm sustenance in the form of a delicious pretzel sandwich with little hassle and consistent results. A perk to PA’s roads can’t be discounted!
