I find Critical Mass annoying, dumb and ineffective for adding to traffic and raising the antagonism between cyclists and cars. This is a helluva lot smarter, by comparison.

I'd rephrase that question to read,

..in cities where the needs (ie. resources, lanes, safety concerns etc.) of car drivers override bicycle drivers, why is it that you can get places faster on bikes?

..motorcycles and scooters, too.

Thought the same thing as soon as I read the title. Thanks for posting the link !

Love the myopic zooms that open and close that skit. ..and the clash between the two opposing plans and characters.

"..gotta' keep on top of my life, gotta' keep on top of my life."

"..or this'll happen to you"

It's obviously hideous. But at least it's obvious?

In the less obvious more insidious category, I just today noticed Yahoo branding itself on top of newsfeeds small and large.

I'm sure I'd want to run through red lights and stop signs in that thing just so I wouldn't have to start from a dead stop.

I like this lighter design:

Neat-ohh.

I would've especially loved this while waiting for my turn as a kid, back when I needed to stand on a milk crate to see anything. I remember putting my ear up to the sides thinking what? how? where?

I wonder if there's any potential for some 3d action looking downward with the transparent design - like an extra layer with flippers, springs, gravity mixing with magnets.
