Musical gem of the day is this funk breaks mixtape from Hong Kong Ping Pong. Ohhhh, yeah. Hat-tip to Ben for pointing it out.

Amazing.

AFTER YOU BECOME A LEVEL EIGHT RAW VEGAN YOU CAN ASK THE ELDERS FOR ACCESS TO THE ORIGINAL WHOLE FOODS. ONCE INSIDE YOU CAN ALIGN THE RUNESTONES AND SCALLIONS TO SUMMON THE TRANSFORMING SPIRITS OF ANCIENT LOCAVORES.

IT’S ALL PRETTY ADVANCED STUFF. YOU ARE QUITE NEW TO OUR WAYS. FOR NOW YOU SHOULD PROBABLY JUST CONCENTRATE ON BUYING FAIR-TRADE AND REDUCING YOUR GLUTEN INTAKE.

Oh my. Hilarious!

Beautiful design on the Hiut Denim Size Guide

Beautiful design on the Hiut Denim Size Guide:

There’s a lot to love about the story of Hiut Denim but the best part for me is the Size Guide. As you would expect, it helps you find the right size for your jeans. But the clincher for me is the sense of promise you have from seeing your jeans age and fade over time - three years, to be precise.

This is fantastic design for two reasons.

It makes it easier to decide to buy

To my mind, this is a subtle but effective way to make the price tag seem less daunting for someone who’s never dropped a ton or two on jeans alone. Yes, you’re paying £130-£260 for a pair of jeans… but they’re going to last you three years at the least.

It creates the emotional bond

You’re looking at the jeans fade over time and you’re already imagining the journeys you’ll take together, you and your organic selvedge denim. The romance is palpable.

Masterful work from Mark Boulton Design.

Pause for thought

These days, if I were to write code it would be Java or even Haskell, and I would design the heck out of the system using UML, incorporating design patterns. Given half a chance, I’ll specify the operations formally, using OCL; and if you give me total freedom, I’ll specify it in Z (i.e. symbolic logic and set theory) and mathematically prove the design before coding.

Some of the software engineers that I’ve taught absolutely love this approach. They’re the ones who, if their software fails, have to live with the fact that someone has probably died.

Fucking *love* this. As Cyriaque Lamar notes:

This video goes on for approximately eight minutes and has more critical merit than Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
