Ye Olde Tyme Cover of “Thrift Shop” by Postmodern Jukebox

by Rusty Blazenhoff

The Postmodern Jukebox Band performs an “old time-y, Jazz Age” cover of the hit song “Thrift Shop,” originally by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. The Postmodern Jukebox Band is Robyn Adele Anderson (vocals), Adam Kubota (bass), Allan Mednard (drums), and Scott Bradlee (keys). You can get the song’s MP3 at Bradlee’s Bandcamp site.

I suppose one might even call it the vintage thrift shop version of “Thrift Shop”…

The original version:

A Defense of Comic Sans by Vsauce

Christopher Lantz

I know there are a lot of haters out there.

Video blogger Michael Stevens (Vsauce) makes an intriguing defense of Comic Sans, the infamously childish typeface that is reviled by professional designers and adored by amateurs. Along the way he provides some fascinating typographic trivia.

Orphaned Bat Pups Cared for in Australian Clinic

by Rusty Blazenhoff
Christopher Lantz

Gaaah... ZOMG! I think... I'm freakin' out... so... cute.... breath, c.bat.... breath.

At the Australian Bat Clinic and Wildlife Trauma Centre, Trish Wimberley cares for orphaned bats and “rears them until they can be released into the wild.” The bats in this video were orphaned after a natural disaster.

It’s a tireless, never ending job which keeps her awake all hours (she apparently went 3 nights without sleeping once). A typical day may include feeding (the food is about $1000 a week), health checks, doing their laundry (the dryer and washing machine electricity bill costs up to $8000 every 3 or 4 months!), bat transportation for release — everything they need in order to survive. You’d think she’d need an army of people to help but she makes do with only a few loyal volunteers. It just goes to show, motherhood can transcend between all species and Trish is happy playing that role to assist a creature that is vital to the Australian ecosystem.

Favorite Memes, An Ode to Memes In the Style of Journey’s Faithfully

by Rusty Blazenhoff
Christopher Lantz

Beautiful.

Grumpy Cat, Always saying nope, His eternal frown makes me smile

Favorite Memes” is a humorous ode to internet memes done in the style of Journey’s song, “Faithfully.” It was written and directed by David Ward for Humordy and stars Russell Groves as the meme-lovin’ and mustached Steve Perry. The song’s full lyrics are available at YouTube.

Former Journey frontman Steve Perry only recently learned about internet memes. We think he may love them a bit too much.

Finger Trap Handbags by James Piatt, Based on Toy Puzzles

by Rusty Blazenhoff

FingerTrap

American designer James Piatt has taken the “Chinese finger trap puzzle” and brought it to his Finger Trap line of handbags (full size, Mini). Fingers can be slipped into the woven leather puzzle handles and “trapped” to carry the bags. The larger version comes with a detachable shoulder strap.

The Chinese finger trap is a common metaphor for a problem that can be overcome by relaxing.
