Offbeat: This Transformer dude already has your Halloween costume beat

  • At least he decided to dress like something cool instead of Tron Guy. Though if the guy did this in front of our house as we were passing out candy, we’d point and laugh.source

U.S.: The coolest, most awesome political graphic you’ll see all week

leftvsright1025
  • This is one of thoseincredibly awesome graphics that makes us warm and fuzzy inside. It’s impartial, smart, fun to read, and downright awesome in execution. It’s so awesome that it comes in two versions – the U.S. version (above) and a world version which flips the red and blue, much like the U.S. flips the metric system on its head. Information is Beautiful did a beautiful job on this information breakdown.source

CNN redesign
  • Could one make love to a redesign? Especially one of a news site that seems to go tabloidy more than it should? If so, we’d totally make love to the CNN redesign. It’s big and bold and red. Just like us.source
