TSHM http://thissitehasmade.com Tue, 21 Sep 2010 13:55:17 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Consumer Report #2 http://thissitehasmade.com/2010/09/consumer-report-2/ http://thissitehasmade.com/2010/09/consumer-report-2/#comments Tue, 21 Sep 2010 13:55:17 +0000 Mark http://thissitehasmade.com/?p=838 This week’s Consumer Report features beautiful felt covered chairs for you kids, satellite imagery inspired carpets, watches that prove simplicity is awesome, and a classic gesture… no, not that one… [...]

Florian Pucher’ Land Carpet – “Designed by former architect Florian Pucher, the 100% New Zealand wool rugs use satellite images to represent different continents and countries, with fields of varying heights lending a surprising tactile and visual element.” (via CoolHunting)

Bookhou’s Child’s Felt Chair – Love this felt covered chair. How about making this into a bench for the grown ups? Also love their flock mobile. And that doesn’t HAVE to go in the kid’s room does it?

O’Clock – Leo said, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” By that reasoning, the O’Clock is quite sophisticated, and we happen to agree. Very cool.


Paul Bruno’s Traditional Greeting – If you don’t like this zip up hoodie, then you’re likely not the same age as us. Live long and prosper.

It’s in select theaters – that show indie movies like this one – that don’t show indie movies like this one – tomorrow (Sept 17th). Watch the trailer after the jump [...]

Awesome Job Title http://thissitehasmade.com/2010/09/awesome-job-title/ http://thissitehasmade.com/2010/09/awesome-job-title/#comments Thu, 16 Sep 2010 14:20:41 +0000 Mark http://thissitehasmade.com/?p=803 What’s your job title? There are some cool ones out there. Some guys at Disney has their Imagineers. Some companies have Evangelists. Southwest Airlines has a Director of Culture. And Freshbooks has a Chief Handshaker. But Matt Kent may have the best job title ever. [...]

He’s a Zombie Choreographer.

On a side note, “excited” isn’t a strong enough word for how I feel about this series. So Matt, I hope you’re good at your job.

Consumer Report #1 http://thissitehasmade.com/2010/09/consumer-report-1/ http://thissitehasmade.com/2010/09/consumer-report-1/#comments Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:50:06 +0000 Mark http://thissitehasmade.com/?p=773 The plan is to start breaking this little blog out into something people might actually want to read. So here is the first installment of TSHM’s Consumer Report series. Leave a comment and tell us what you think!

Beepart – Traditional tattoo inspired vinyl wall decals. Unlike the ink on your arm, if you don’t like these, you can just peal them off. But, why would you not like them? Awesome.

Teroforma’s Whiskey Stones – Don’t water down your whiskey with melting ice. Stick these stones in the freezer, then drop them in your drink. No melting, and chipped teeth make you look tough. Win, win.

KoiKouture’s Mandles – Take a recycled beer bottle, throw a candle in it that smells like coffee and doughnuts and call it “Oh no it’s the cops” and you have yourself a Mandle (candles for men).

Luxury Lane Soap – You smell bad. Luckely, “I am Jack’s soap.” Get your fight club soap, and much more.

Like & Dislike – Facebook stalking not enough for you anymore? Start labeling your real world with Like and Dislike stamps. A nice “Like” on the forehead of your girlfriend would make her feel special for sure.

Aviator Chair – Who knew Restoration Hardware could do steampunk? They say this awesome chair is inspired by WWII bomber planes, and sure, one could see that. But one might also see it inspired by a jet engined airship of steampunk goodness too.

HDR + iPhone = :) http://thissitehasmade.com/2010/09/hdr-iphone/ http://thissitehasmade.com/2010/09/hdr-iphone/#comments Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:48:33 +0000 Mark http://thissitehasmade.com/?p=762 The pictures in this post weren’t taken with an iPhone, they’re just awesome examples of HDR. Here’s to hoping the iPhone’s HDR capabilities are high! [...]

High Dynamic Range photography is a process of shooting three consecutive shots and merging them together to create one image. The first exposure is under exposed to capture the deepest tones. The second is a normally exposed shot. And the third, is over exposed to grab the brightest lights. The final, merged image has a higher than normal range of lights and darks and can make for some amazing pictures…

Sites and Sounds from 2010 Bonnaroo http://thissitehasmade.com/2010/08/sites-and-sounds-from-201-bonnaroo/ http://thissitehasmade.com/2010/08/sites-and-sounds-from-201-bonnaroo/#comments Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:40:20 +0000 Mark http://thissitehasmade.com/?p=737 Not sure how I missed this until today, but better late than never, right? NPR has a really great archive that has a ton of live concert audio and photos from this year’s Bonnaroo festival in Tennessee. Some of the highlights, in my opinion, that you can let your ears feast on include: The Avett Brothers, Here We Go Magic, Kris Kristofferson, LCD SoundsystemMumford And Sons, The National and She And Him. But wait! There’s more! See the full list here.
