But Does it Float

I am in LOVE. But Does it Float is a brilliant collaboration between L.A.-based creatives Folkert Gorter, an interaction designer, and Atley Kasky, a freelance graphic designer. The premise of the blog is simple: pair a cool quote with awesome images. Like this:

It’s very, very dangerous to lose contact with living nature.

Insane stunt driving

When I was little, I took the stunt driving in action movies for granted. It came with the super-human character, right? But then I learned about stuntmen (and women) and learned people got PAID to drive like that and it was NOT in fact Keanu Reeves. Ever since, the world made a little more sense. Also, much to my parents dismay, I wanted to become a stunt driver as well. As it happened, a different insane industry called me (journalism) and I chose that path. For now.

So you can imagine my glee when I ran across this. BMW Canada presents: The 1 Series M Coupe vs. concrete walls. Done by ad agency Cundari and shot by Banditos Brothers.

Short stories + typography

If you think updating your followers in 140 characters is difficult, imagine restricting yourself to six words to tell a story! As you may recall, Earnest Hemingway did it: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Inspired, designer Anne Ulku and writer Van Horgen created their blog sixwordstoryeveryday.com to keep the spirit alive. Some of my favourites below:

Artists have been invited to contribute, so if you have something interesting yet concise to say, give them a shout!
