A spare day? This is the stuff of my dreams! (Though really, an extra hour or two per day would be better still.)
In broad strokes, I understand the concept of the Leap Year, and you probably do, too; that understanding didn’t stop me from enjoying – and learning from – C. G. P. Grey’s video explaining the Leap Day and what exactly it’s for.
What will you do with your extra day?

In honor of last night’s fleeting snowfall in Boston (the arrival of winter at last?): an incredibly slick urban skiing video.
Enjoy!
A few weeks back, when Cee Lo Green leaked an unofficial, typographically animated video for his latest track ahead of the official release, it quickly made its rounds about the blogosphere. (We personally, even after the official video release, are partial to the typographic version.)
As the video was blogged, reblogged, linked and shared all across the internet, we got to thinking about typographic animation – motion typography or kinetic typography, as it were – and as it turns out, Cee Lo was far from the first to put type in motion. We spent some time looking into other artists’ explorations of moving type - what follows are some of our favorite interpretations. (image credit: Amandine Alessandra)
We’re feeling a bit more Chromeo obsessed than usual, in light of their Boston show tomorrow and the impending release of their latest album. Take a quick listen, and you’ll be hooked too. Pinky-swear.
Dear friend that he is, Michael got RJD2 stuck in my head this afternoon – so I had to share. Ghostwriter is favorite that Jack and I share, and in my opinion, one of RJ’s best songs. A perfect oldie-but-goodie for a summer afternoon.
