I’ll be gone in Hawaii for the next week until the 25th, so the blog will be on hiatus until I get back. Call it a “Hawaiiatus”.

Stupidity and the unexpected for the sheer sake of it? Sign me up.

Another excellent ad for VB, an Australian beer, by Droga5 featuring the shimmering sounds of the incomparable Neil Diamond.
