xkcd #667: SkiFree. Ahh, the good old days of simulation gaming. What a fantastic timesink SkiFree was. I still think of you fondly, SkiFree.
Alt-text: And from that day on, I wore this little ‘F’ key pendant everywhere I went.

Wonderful Illustrations of Alice in Wonderland (via Abduzeedo)
Alice in Wonderland is a chameleon that lends itself to endless interpretation. By far, though, my favorite take on Alice has to be American McGee’s Alice. I’m also crossing my fingers that Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland won’t flop.

Taking a Stand Against American Apparel -
Cameron Moll writes:
[…] American Apparel feels it’s not enough to merely make a quality tee that fits well. In the past year or so they’ve substantially broadened their product line and have resorted to advertising that is suggestive at best and explicit at worst. In today’s say-all, share-all socioeconomic society where a quality product virtually sells itself — which is precisely how American Apparel sold itself back when it became mainstream — there is no need for this, let alone the ethical reasons for which this isn’t necessary.
If you haven’t been in the loop, see for yourself (potentially NSFW). It’s difficult to argue that American Apparel straddles the line between “tasteful nudity” and porn when more than a few of their models are porn stars. I personally don’t mind; but then again, I don’t buy American Apparel clothing.
P.S. …in case you’re wondering which ones: Sasha Grey, Charlotte Stokely, Faye Valentine, Avy Lee Roth and Trixie Teen by my count.

TechCrunch Homepage Design Gets Deconstructed By ZURB (via TechCrunch)
I thoroughly enjoy reading design critiques and deconstructions like this one. I think Andy Rutledge has spoiled me though; I miss the passionate opinions and no-nonsense “this is how you do it” approaches.
I love this design. The slot for the olive oil would be perfect for the Sonomic Vinegar I have lying around.

Mmmm, Brains! Undead Labs to Develop Console-based Zombie MMO -
From the press release:
When flesh-eating, shambling undead corpses invade Seattle, Undead Labs will probably be the ones responsible. Video game industry veteran Jeff Strain today announced the formation of Undead Labs, a Seattle, Washington-based game development studio that’s on a mission to take online gaming in bold new directions.
Undead Labs’ sole focus will be to create the definitive massively multiplayer online zombie game (MMOZ) for console gamers. Nothing screams funny quite like wading into a group of rotting zombies with lawn chair and a box of sharpened #2 pencils, and nothing says fun quite like doing it with your friends, whether online or on your couch. Undead Labs is committed to bringing to life an MMO loaded with action, humor and, of course, a whole lotta zombies, because the world doesn’t need more dragons.
