Video tribute to designer Paul Rand – video

Picture 14-5

Marco says: “Paul Rand left a huge mark on American graphic design thanks to his corporate logo designs you’ve all probably seen. It was only recently that the UPS logo was redesigned from his original look.

“Here is a 4 minute Quicktime film tributing Paul’s work, a delicious animated journey through very familiar shapes and colors as Paul explains graphic design. In short, it looks really great.

“Paul Rand was inducted to the One Show Creative Hall of Fame this week.”Link

New Disneyland monorails

The new Monorails just arrived at Disneyland and man, they are h4wt! Be sure to check out the OC Register’s gallery of these massive beasts being transported and craned into place.

The first new monorail car in two decades slid onto the Disneyland track on Thursday as the theme park prepares for guests to ride it starting in late February.

Bizarre coincidence: front-page photos help capture thief

Picture 14-6 Saxtor says “The URL is to a PDF of the front page of the 12/14/2007 Lewiston Tribune (Idaho). Above the fold appeared a photograph of Michael Millhouse, painting a sign on the window of a business. But below the fold, he appeared again, in a still taken from a convenience store where a wallet containing $600 was lifted. Due to his size, and the fact that he was wearing the same clothes, he was easily identified and caught.”

Wolf Boy on the loose

Jon says:A ten year old boy who was raised by wolves has escaped from a Moscow clinic. He bites and snarls and acts all crazy, just like you’d expect a boy raised by wolves to act. And man, has he got some of the coolest toenails I’ve ever seen.

The boy moves around with his legs half bent, said Tvoi Den newspaper. “He was running with wolves and searching for food with them.”

Villagers found this “wild creature” in a lair made of leaves and sticks in freezing temperatures and told the police who named him Lyokha, though his real identity is not known.
