"House" Finale to Feature Canon 5D Mark II Footage
Speaking of shooting stuff with a Canon 5D, the House finale was shot entirely with it. Episode airs May 17.
(It's been just over a year since commercial DSLR video cameras became available, and already "shot with Canon 5DmkII (or 7D)" is becoming commonplace; almost tiresome to repeat, in fact.)
The Making of the Nissan Sentra SE-R Drift Ad
The stars of this advertisement are not full-size vehicles, but rather 1/10th scale R/C cars and helicopters. The entire ad, aside from a Panasonic used on a tracking vehicle, was shot with a Canon 5D Mark II.
Simplified ExpressionEngine Control Panel Theme
Jesse Bennett-Chamberlain:
I'm currently working on a project that involves a lot of EE development, so I took a couple hours last night to tweak the default Control Panel theme. I've only tested it in Safari… so your milage may vary… but feel free to give it a try.

Josh+Amy Wedding Invitation Video

The gorgeous footage from the 5DII only enhances the production value, it doesn't create that value from nothing.

Moonbird Lamp by Yukio Hashimoto
This is absolutely gorgeous. But with a price tag nearly as steep as my 13" MacBook Pro, it's unlikely I'll have one of these sitting on my desk anytime soon.

What the iPad is Missing: Good Typography
Stephen Coles, FontShop's self-described "Glyph Pusher" (and boy does he know glyphs):
Apple has made some puzzling decisions over the last few years that leave one wondering if they really care about typography as much as they did in the 1980s when the Mac launched the desktop publishing revolution. As recently as 2005, Steve Jobs made typography a central theme of his commencement address to Stanford grads, but his actions as the almighty head of...
