Online Fridge Magnets: Diesel

Very few things can follow the excitement of the back to back Valentine's Day / Family Day weekend, but Diesel.com has managed to do it. Their main page has been transformed into a gigantic version of refrigerator word magnets as part of the Diesel Be Stupid campaign.

iPad wha?

Today marks the official release of Apple's iPad. In layman's terms, the iPad is basically a larger version of the iPod. Sort of like those gigantic calculators you can buy at the dollar store, only these play music. And you can read books on them!

Reviews are varying between an Epic Fail and Apple moving their headquarters to Mount Sinai. On gizmodo.com, blogger francisco.e.soto comments: "This is going to completely revolutionize my pooping experience." We agree!

To celebrate this monumental day in technology, we give you a snippet of other objects enlarged for no good reason.

Careful now.

What do you think of the iPad, Musers? Waste of space, or can't wait to own one?

Wonderland

The countdown is on to Tim Burton's take on Alice In Wonderland [in theatres March 5th 2010], but illustrator Maggie Taylor had her own version down in 2006. Surrealism at its finest.

The Pop Shoppe

Toronto-based soda retailer The Pop Shoppe has redesigned its website. The site seeks to give the brand a whimsical personality through the use of animated characters and settings. It was developed by AmoebaCorp, OneMethod, Tattoo Sound & Music and On the Chase Motion Design. "This is a brand that enjoys no age-limit when it comes to the Canadians that love it and I think that's because it's always been about simple joy, childishness and exercising your playful spirit," said Mikey Richardson, co-creative Director at AmoebaCorp. "So when it came to creating a new site for the brand, we knew we wanted to deliver big on personality and entertainment, and allow Pop Shoppe lovers of all ages to enjoy the flavour of the brand in a new way."
