Whenever people ask me what I dressed up as on Halloween I always say “myself.” Artist Eric Testroete took that concept a step further and created a 3D model of his head to wear as a costume. The result is really stunning. Click here to see the photos (scroll to the right).

Basically, you put in someone’s name, and it returns 100 “facts” about that person.

Note: This project also makes experimental use of the “Google/MySpace Theory” where functionality takes precedence over looks (hence the horrible non-design).

Most of the time, I prefer this format: (480) 945-5653.

So that’s what I use when I put a phone number on a web site or printed piece.

But 99% of the time the customer asks me to change it.

Sometimes they want it like this: 480-945-5653. The rest of the time, they like using periods between numbers, like this: 480.945.5653.

Then there are people who want to use some wicked combination. My favorite is separating the numbers every two digits. As such: 48 09 45 56 53. Yes, that is beautiful.

I’m making it a personal mission to make each and every one of the Readymech’s that are featured on www.readymech.com, so keep your eye out!

I have to give a little shout out to Josh Pigford who posted a link to this on his new blog, Decomodo.

Thanks for watching!

If you make any of your own, email me a photo or a video!

The Chris Tingom iPhone Stress Test

• Play “egg toss” on the parking lot
• Drop it down an elevator shaft (a mine shaft will do in a pinch)
• Throw it against a brick wall with all of your might
• Play baseball with the iPhone (professional pitcher not required)
• “Accidentally” microwave it with lunch
• Freeze it with your lunch leftovers
• Run over it with a lawnmower
• Play ice hocky and use the iPhone as a puck!

I’m sure you can imagine it wouldn’t survive. But if it did, I’d buy one. In other news, Viddler is giving away two iPhones in July.

Why do news networks continue to fumble when amazing ratings are within their reach? I ask you, which of the following would you like to see as news anchors?

Adam Sandler

Sean Connery

Kiefer Sutherland

Mr. T

Now seriously, that lineup would be the bomb!

If a major news network brought actors and comedians on board to deliver the news. Ratings would jump.

Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it.

If you’re not familiar with them, read the Wikipedia entry. They go like this:

In the US, you can catch a cold.
In Soviet Russia, cold catches YOU!!
In the US, you take a bath.
In Soviet Russia, bath takes YOU!!
In the US, you pity the fool.
In Soviet Russia, fool pities YOU!!

They’re worth a try!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

Humpty Dumpty on the Wikipedia.

Me: Well, it’s not really a house.

Cold caller: Oh, is it an apartment then?

Me: Well, no. It’s more of a dwelling.

Cold caller: A dwelling?

Me: Well, more of a straw hat.

Cold caller: Oh — “click” –
