I Laugh at Your Commute. I work in a coconut on my front lawn.

Giant Sad People: The hyperrealist sculptures of Ron Mueck haunt my dreams, but I can’t stop peeking at them.

Hippies with AuotCAD: Hmmmm… seems like a lot of work went into this extremely stupid, never-gonna-happen bike lane idea.

New David Cross Show: “The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret”. It’s on British telly, so you’ll have to wait or steal a British TV set to watch. View Video clip.

Download: Minutes – Seven​-​Inch. It’s good for your body and Jon Solomon approved, what else do you need to know?

We Love Sports (for 3 Weeks Every 2 Years): Awesome Olympic photos

Old-Timey Video: Dick Button 1948 Olympic Freeskate. Pretty rad, except for the weird Nazi-looking outfit. (thx @pfilbert)

Food Lover’s Video: Soup Boots brought to you by one of Todd’s old students, Dave Metter.

Speaking of Todd… The artist/skate rat will debut some spiffy new art you can ride. I’m so gonna front side grind at this show. Where are my Vans?

Waste of Good Ink: House Industries Design for John Mayer Tour Poster

Looks Like a Duggar Escaped Years Ago… and was raised by some real show business people:

This kid never had a chance. Thanks Everything is Terrible.

Nice Try: Ad agency stages lame “walk into door, spill stuff” video, hoping for viral.

It’s Coming People… Better Hide or Turn Off Twitter! SXSW will be here soon and every designer, web pro, social media nerd, bearded band guy, label flunky and alt-celeb will be inundating your Twitter with on-the-minute updates on what they are doing, where they are currently drinking coffee, TwitPics of their airplane seats, are most importantly, kissing the asses of other people in their biz who they desperately want the attention of. Expect lots of RTs.

Twitter’s pipes will be clogged like Paul Deens’s butter-battered arteries during a family BBQ. Fucking Four Square just bought a new server the size of a Costco to handle all the traffic! “Mike is the now the Mayor of Austin’s Kinko’s on Main Street! http://4sq.com/imana$s” Awesome! “Marci is eating an organic grape @ Augie’s Produce with @pixelbaybee http://4sq.com/imana$s2.” Thanks for that!

Good lord, I wish Twitter had a hide feature. SXSWers, please behave.
