Nintendo controller

La evolución del control de Nintendo en un bonito y elegante GIF animado. Creado por Gadget Love. Buen uso del recurso, diferente. No más…

From simple square to a giant box with a screen in the middle, Nintendo’s controllers have never been consistent.

Whiles its rivals have focused on tweaking one main idea, each Nintendo console iteration had a radically different controller, each iconic in its own way.

This mesmerizing bit was created by Gadget Love, which also created an interactive version if you want to take the whole thing frame-by-frame (as well as equally hypnotic GIFs for the PlayStation controller and Xbox controller)...

Endless Pizza

Creo que ya había compartido algo de este GIF artist conocido como Sheepfilms (al menos en su Tumblr). Pero es que su trabajo es realmente hinpotizante. Ssobre todo sus loops imposibles, de los que me declaro fan. Buen ejemplo de ello es esta Pizza infinita…

I’m an animator and comedy short film maker, and I’m available for freelance commissions. Mail me

Lonesome George

El Solitario George (o con el nombre de pila en inglés, Lonesome George y nombrado incorrectamente "Solitario Jorge") fue el último ejemplar conocido de la especie Chelonoidis abingdonii, una de las especies de tortuga gigante de las Islas Galápagos (Ecuador). Era un macho y murió el 24 de junio de 2012 sin dejar descendencia a pesar de los muchos intentos, lo que deja suponer que la especie Chelonoidis abingdonii está definitivamente extinta

We’re welcoming the weekend with Lonesome George.

Be among the first visitors to see the famous Pinta Island tortoise who was the last of his kind when he died in 2012. Lonesome George will be on display at the Museum till January 4, 2015, when he will be returned to Ecuador as part of that country’s national patrimony.

Interesting stories from the past week:

Have a wonderful weekend!

Flux Machine 

Si es verdad que todas las fotografías son “máquinas del tiempo”, las fotografías antiguas nos hacen viajar mucho más lejos. Algunas de ellas son tan distantes que son extrañamente desconcertantes. El artista Kevin Weir saca provecho de este “poder”, y utiliza las imágenes del archivo fotográfico de la Librería del Congreso para darles nueva vida…

Art director and designer Kevin Weir uses historical black and white photographs forgotten to time as the basis for his quirky—and slightly disturbing—animated GIFs. His path to online GIF superstardom began when he was in high school. He tells us that “my parents’ boss bought me a copy of Photoshop and I decided I wanted to be some kind of designer.” Having mastered the software, he found himself five years later “making black and white GIFs as a way to occupy myself during the downtime of an internship I had during grad school.” He shared the images on his Tumblr, Flux Machine where they quickly went viral…

NYC etiquette

El dibujante Nathan W. Pyle hizo esta serie de ilustraciones animadas (GIFs) que nos dicen cómo sobrevivir en NY, siguiendo algunas reglas básicas de etiqueta y sana convivencia. Con el humor negro que tanto nos gusta…

Tackling an obvious void in our collective cultural knowledge, Nathan W. Pyle addressed the need for NYC etiquette tips. But more than just good practice, these tips are a hilarious survival guide. They wisely instruct you on how to steer clear of the smelly subway car and how to negotiate sidewalk traffic.

Pyle’s book NYC Basic Tips and Etiquette was just released this year. Available both in digital and hard copy formats, the e-book has the delightful benefit of animation as seen in the GIFs below.

We think that these real-life tidbits are significantly more useful than the Emily Post brand of etiquette, like which is the proper fork to use. What do you think?

Star Trek stabilized

While we were talking about the image-stabilized version of Cloverfield, Reddit was applying the same image stabilization talent to a franchise even riper for parody: Star Trek. A new subreddit, r/StarTrekStabilized, came to our attention on Saturday when this GIF shot to the front page..
