Many of you don’t know this about me, but every weekday morning I wake up at 4:45AM, pour some coffee, and read the NYT cover to cover.  Later when I get to work I read every last article on NYTimes.com.  On weekends I relax and only read the entire WSJ and Economist.  I’m so well read that… »

Meditating On MOPAC

If you’ve ever read a Chuck Palahniuk novel, you know they are fantastic sci-fi/thriller tales sprinkled with interesting and true bits of information.  One of those interesting facts that has stuck with me is the stuff about Alpha brain waves.
The Alpha brain state is what explains those moments when you “wake up” while driving and… »

I Dream A Chopper

I discovered Bike EXIF during an ogling session that started with some local chop shops and ended with Bike EXIF. The Aussie-run site is right up the MIFG alley, it integrates a love of design, photography, and art while showcasing some extremely enviable rides. I encourage you to peruse the archives and find your favorite… »

Just Had To Post It

Found this and just had to post it.  If I was a talented illustrator/graphic designer I think I would dedicate my entire career to drawing Daft Punk.  The rest of Gianluca Fallone’s work is pretty cool too, check it… »

MJ Chopped & Screwed

The King’s birthday is coming up tomorrow and I thought I’d kick off the MIFG festivities by recommending you check out a few of the thousands of MJ chopped and screwed remixes.  I prefer DJRioBlackwood because he does the best job of making Michael’s slowed down voice not just sound like a normal dude.  Happy… »

Winch Shredding

Check out this new extreme sport that combines all the fun of high speed winches, wakeboarding brahs, and drainage ditches.

Listen for the cheeky  “I’ve already got a girlfriend” line in this UK version…

Oh Japan

I’m only posting this because it’s late on a Sunday night and hopefully no one will really see it before Patrick’s first post of the morning, but here are a few things I noticed about this (typical) Japanese TV show clip:

She’s not even very good, but the crowd is enthralled.
She has the creepiest backpack I’ve… »

Buenos Aires Arte Extraño

Argentine artists have brought us all kinds of interesting art such as this and this.  I ran across an art studio today called Cinco and they produce some extremely creative and inspiring artwork I thought was worth sharing.  Check out the videos with the “manos,” really great stuff.  Also look at their blog – you… »

A Very Strange Birthday

June is a celebratory month of weddings, family reunions, and birthdays (most notably mine.)  I ran across two awesomely appealing things on the internet recently and the only way I could think to tie them together was to invision them being the cake and gift in a fantastic dream of a birthday party.  Only random… »

Hundreds Frozen In Grand Central Station

I’m sure many of you have already heard of this improvisational acting troop out of NYC called Improv Everywhere, but they are so incredibly cool that I thought I ought to acknowledge them here on MIFG anyways.  My favorite of their stunts is this clip where they send 200 people into Grand Central Station for… »
