waxandmilk: Gary Anderson (right): creator of the recycling symbol1970  Anderson was a 23-year-old USC Architecture graduate when he entered the Container Corporation of America’s design contest to create what would become the universal symbol for recycling. From Wikipedia: The 500 entries to the competition were judged by designers recognized as world leaders in graphics and industrial art, including Saul Bass, Herbert Bayer, James Miho, Herbert Pinzke and Eliot Noyes. According to Anderson: “Angela Davis had just shot up the courthouse and the Manson murders had just happened. I wanted to move away from that, from the Haight-Ashbury poster art with its amorphous organic shapes to create something simpler and cleaner.” so then i suppose david spade is just a stage name?

just take a look at the tan and halter top on this health reporter and tell me this warning about the acai berry (in new york) is not extremely serious. soooo glad she’s here to expose the shocking truth!

this is great and all but, in 2010, how is it possible that this is as close as we can get to the real thing?  now that obama’s cut back on space, let’s get these scientists back to what’s important: wheelless skateboards thedailywhat: Art Project of the Day: For a 2008 exhibit aptly titled “Back to the Future,” artist Nils Guadagnin sculpted an exact replica of the hoverboard used in the film series, and fitted it with an electromagnetic system that allows the board to levitate above its electromagnetic plinth.

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE:

it’s that thing of when you’ve been fascinated by and in awe of the show ever since you were old enough to know what it was, and then your manfriend wins tickets to the 35th season finale, hosted by (now) 15-timer alec baldwin, and then you’re waiting in line in the lobby of 30 rock with your tickets, and a girl with a clipboard calls you out of the line for an undisclosed reason, and then you find yourself in the lower level hallway of studio 8h, surrounded by photos of all the past hosts, and tom petty’s heartbreakers are hanging around playing guitar and eating cookies, and crew members are wheeling set pieces with labels like “cold open” past you, and then you’re told to proceed forward under the upperdeck, toward the main stage, where the snl band is playing, and you’re seated in the second row on the floor, and then lorne michaels is standing within arm’s length of you, having a moment, smiling to himself before the craziness commences, and then 92 yr old don pardo comes onto the stage to introduce some cast members to warm up, and then you start to hear the countdown to the show and everyone’s scrambling around but unfazed because to them this is normal, and then live, from new york, it’s saturday night. yeah, it’s that common thing.
