Isner-Mahut, Part 3
i can’t decide if this match is going to last for ten more minutes or ten more hours.

“7.20pm: And so this match goes on and on, on and on. Somewhere along the way, the players have mislaid their names. The man who was once Mahut is now a string-bag of offal. The man who was Isner is a parched piece of cow-hide. The surviving members of the audience don’t seem to care who wins. They just cheer and applaud whoever looks likely to make a breakthrough and bring this nightmare to a close. Invariably they are disappointed.
The offal looks fresher, possesses a piercing backhand and still throws itself about the court on occasion. But the cow-hide can serve and has the advantage of going ahead by one game and forcing the offal to catch-up. This the offal is only too happy to do. It hits a backhand down the line and then follows that up with an ace, and the score now stands at 45 games apiece.”

really digging the video for mark ronson’s “bang bang bang.” q-tip is so great and i like the lady singer, though i’m not sure who she is. (google tells me she’s called MNDR.)
Oh wow, I had no idea blocking someone from tumblr means not only will they not appear on your dashboard if someone reblogs them but you can’t even see if they reblog something if you click on the notes. Useful. *__* Goodbye, idiots!

Art Project of the Day: For his latest project, WE ARE NOT TIME TRAVELERS, graphic designer Alex Varanese imagined what it might look like if one were to grab a bunch of modern gizmos, travel back to the 1970s, and remanufacture said gizmos with the bell-bottomed consumer in mind.
I’ve learned that there is no greater design element than the anachronism. I’ve learned that the strongest contrast isn’t spatial or tonal but historical. I’ve learned that there’s retro, and then there’s time travel.
The irony is that all post-modern, smugly self-referential retro porn aside, I’d gladly trade in my immaculately designed 21st century gadgets for these hideously clunky, faux-wood-paneled pieces of über-kitsch. Sorry, Apple.
Make sure to check out the entire line of redesigned faux-tech here.

there’s nothing ironic about my love for faux-wood. or giant headphones, actually.
