Is there anything better than kissing? Hmmm…nope! We’ve all had bad kisses (see also: jr high) but when it’s right, oh man, butterflies invade your stomach, bodies shaking and all concept of time is out the door. There’s nothing like it. And if you’re biting your bottom lip, you’ll love “Fuck Yeah Kissing“.
It’s true, hipster dating is in full effect. And thanks to a new blog, How Hipsters Date (straight outta Brooklyn, of course!) you can find out if hipsters are good at making out, where they hang out, which ones you should date and my all-time favorite, how hipsters break up.
I just spent hours being totally inspired by Hugh MacLeod’s gallery of art, Gapingvoid. It’s the kind of stuff that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. The music sounds louder and there’s this sense that anything’s possible. This is one mailing list you don’t want to ignore. Once a week, you’ll laugh, buy prints and want to share with all your burnout friends who need a bigtime kick in the ass. Thanks to the female version of me for showing the way.
Dear blank, please blank is another user-generated website that lets people express their feelings using the same written letter format. Some are cute, some are wtf-worthy, and some are just very angry (these are usually the best ones). Thank you, internet, for providing people with yet another way to express their innermost rage for everyone to see and even more thanks to Victoria for giving us the link! What letter would you submit to this website?
In the US we call ‘em trailers but in Europe they’re often referred to as caravans. However, no matter what you call it, the result is typically the same: awesome. Road trips are a must on so many levels – clear your head, learn new things, experience new places, meet new people, take amazing photos…the list goes on and on. And for everything you need to know about cool, funky, retro, vintage and classic caravans, there’s now a place (and book) for that. It’s called My Cool Caravan. Get out there and have some fun.

Ever since I found out about Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half blog I’ve been dying laughing. The girl’s witty rants and admissions of her flaws strike a chord with me about growing up and she’s instantly someone I’ve added to my random people I must meet list. The thing that really does me in though are her crude MS Paint drawings, complete with hyperactive emotions. I also might need to impulse buy this coffee mug for the office.
Alison Garnett’s home on the web, My Lala Land, packs together her creative projects and inspirations in a clean, grid-based design. It’s a nice solution for putting her multiple online projects in one place so that she doesn’t have to share each website one by one. Each link is a doorway to something else, and I think the browsing experience is a lot like being in a house and looking behind every door to see what’s in each room. The awesome tagline (which is also the title of this post) is the cherry on the bottom.
Geeks unite! If thick frames, fitted trousers, and pocket protectors tickle your fancy, I guarantee you’ll be infatuated with Nerd Boyfriend. The blog pairs vintage photos of dapper dudes with modern shopping suggestions. Girls can drool over intellectual studs like Woody Allen, Vonnegut, and Buster Bluth, and guys can grab their dorky digs with minimal effort. Don’t have a six figure income or an IQ that exceeds your weight? It’s easy to fake it with these bitchin’ brainiac getups. If you could raid any dweeb’s closet, whose would it be?
We’re written about Mischief Champion before but it seemed like a good time to remind you to bookmark this site as your homepage. It’s a perfect way to start your browsing, time-wasting or chuckling.
Mashups can be so hectic that sometimes I kind of recognize the beats going down, but not long enough to actually remember what the tracks are. That’s why what Ginger Ninja, aka Edd Hannay, did with Girl Talk’s album is rad. It tells you what samples are being used as each track from the album plays. To me, that makes it a lot more likely that listeners buy music from the original artists.
