Fantastic retro International Year of Astronomy 2009 Posters by Simon Page.

Apparently, what started as Page’s personal project got the attention of the IYA2009 and ended up becoming official promotional work for the organization. Well played!

TimeTuner is the sharp and savvy alarm clock radio iPhone app by Ammunition Group and DreamSurface. Wake up to classy alarm tones, iPod tracks, or one of 14,000 international streaming radio stations; all within an elegant Dieter Ramsesque interface.

Certainly, the most fleshed out and beautiful app I’ve seen in this category. Love it.

Frozen In Time, Switzerland is an absolutely gorgeous project by roving photographer Nathalie Daoust. These surreal, dreamlike images began as black and white photographs, taken with a pinhole camera, then hand-colored.

In this altered state of reality, stillness and silence permeate each image, each is a moment frozen in time. Here memory and introspection create a labyrinth of illusion, mystery and fantasy. Although the images are part of a series, each is unique and non-sequential. The narrative that evolves throughout the works is a personal one, a journey, steeped in self-scrutiny, towards coming to terms with one’s identity through life experiences, loss and sorrow as well as pleasure.

The series won grand prize in the 2009 Banff Mountain Photography Competition. Serko photographer Matthieu Paley was another participant.

While Deerhoof was owning my ears today, I realized that I had bookmarked some videos from their appearance on Pitchfork.tv earlier this year. I would post one here for you, but as they are all so wrought full of badassery, I will instead link to each excellent one below:

Tears and Music of Love / Fresh Born / Dummy Discards A Heart / Rainbow Silhouette of the Milky Rain / Snoopy Waves / Milk Man

Also, check out their complete set from the Great American Music Hall, August 9th, 2009.

Love these custom Alphabet Pillows that Hilary Cosgrove makes from recycled suit-jackets. As she says, some will have buttons, some will have a pocket, all retro awesome tweeds, herringbones and checks.

Also check out her sweet owl pillow.

For anyone interested, I set up a Flickr set of title art from Miyazaki’s Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea. Obviously, it’s just not the same as seeing it in motion, but I love the color and the form. ハム!

Wonderful images of the Siberian Lake Baikal by photographer Matthieu Paley.

Paley’s work was featured in Serko, a book (and film) telling the true story of equestrian Dmitri Peshkov and his horse, Serko. The duo rode 200 days and 9,000 kilometers from Blagoveshchensk, Siberia, to Saint Petersburg, Russia, 1889-1890.

Paley recounts his experience to Outside Magazine.

This is beyond fantastic. The entire run of LIFE magazine as a weekly is now archived on Google Books. 1,860 full issues from 1936 to 1972.

Such an amazing resource of American culture, historic events, photography, and advertising. What might Don Draper think of some of these? Also, note how the AdWords change to fit the content of each page you read.
