Buzz Dump: Dirty Laundry Edition

Finally. The Dirty Laundry Vineyard website is live. And it looks damn good, right on down the pitch perfect washing instruction-like icons for "tell a friend" and "order wine." Well played. Get some of that Pinot. Now. PS - Thanks to
Bernie Hadley-Beauregard for the heads up on this. Thanks for stopping by.

And I thought yesterday's Olympic Closing Ceremony would be Canada's shame this week. Then I endured the new shame that is Brent - the Canadian contribution to The Apprentice. Dare we click on his personal website? Oh dear god. Please tell me that either Peter MacKay is asking for tubby's passport back, or Trump will fire this weasel. Please.

Thankfully New Hampshire is keeping their kick ass state motto - "Live Free Or Die". And yes I will be checking out Matt Pond PA Thursday to hear his New Hampshire at The Red Room. [Ad Freak]

Now that Malcolm Gladwell is blogging now. The point has totally tipped.

Screenhead is just awesome. Case in point: "Mark Crisanti’s odd collage style of image-making creates a surreal mood that kinda feels like Egyptian gods woke up and took to wandering around in new york in the 50s looking for a job."

Yesterday I said Drew Lachey earned perma-d-list status. But even Defamer is suggesting c-list. This better not be a new Cold War scenario where Drew ends up totally becoming a-list. Please say no. Please say no.

Boing Boing asks two great questions: Prefab Ewok Villages, what up? Why do architect "firms' sites always suck?"

Finally, the DLW site! Can't help but wonder if Bernie had a fire lit under his tuches by your subtle egging. Anyway, have to say it is a bit disappointing graphically. Was expecting more conceptually. There was much more promised by the lovely & tantalizing splash page that has been up for the last year. Yet I do love the direction of the pseudo-erotic wine bottle images and yes the washing instruction icons are great. I think maybe they felt rushed to deadline by The Vancouverite.

And yes architects' websites do generally suck, except North Van's McFarlane Green site http://www.mg-architects.ca/ by BurnKit http://www.burnkit.com/
