Sixty Seconds

So much to do these days. I keep forgetting to direct my great Zeus-like gaze of approval to David Friedman’s site Ironic Sans, which you may recall made a very loud splash a couple years ago with the first of what would be many ‘ideas’ proposed on the site, pre-pixelated clothes for Reality TV shows. I remember thinking at the time that, as ideas go, ‘that’s fucking brilliant’. The site is relentless if measured fun, and as you click around you find out things like he’s a cleverly stylish professional photographer, who also writes a mean about page.

And hey, he just turned up on Favrd.

Anyway to me one of the best things about Ironic Sans is the utterly compelling collection of short videos of otherwise unremarkable things, 60 Seconds, the latest of which, 60 Seconds in the Lives of Commuters, just made coffee shoot out of my nose.

In a sort of homage to David’s project, in no way at all connected to being desperate to do something stupid with a new Flip camera, may I present 60 Seconds in the Life of an Armchair, 12 Seconds After I Leave the Room.
