Another devastating earthquake has struck; only this time, it’s Chile. The 8.8 magnitude quake, one of the strongest ever recorded, shook the country for about a minute and a half causing widespread damage and triggering a tsunami warning across the Pacific [most of Central and […]
Being relatively new to the blogosphere, I tend to discover and learn new things about blogging everyday. Not only that, but the amount of random knowledge I’ve accumulated over the last couple of months (from researching), is simply ridiculous; in a good and valuable sort of way. The best part though, is that I come […]
Unless you live under a rock somewhere, you’re aware of the endless clashes between Israeli’s and Palestinian’s in the West Bank — actually pretty much anywhere in the country. Well, this particular protest which took place about 10 days ago, had a rather cinematic approach. Palestinian demonstrators from a small village painted themselves blue and […]
I’m gonna’ keep the writing to a bare (ooops Freudian slip?) minimum on this one! After all, I think the title alone is self-explanatory and your eyes will probably go straight to the pictures.

Hello Everyone,
As you can see (if you’ve been here before), nittyGriddy’s been slightly retouched and freshened up!

Time and time again, we’ve heard about the unhealthy and low grade ingredients that McDonald’s uses in their famous and somewhat tasty meals. Many of us have seen films such as Morgan Spurlock’s “Super Size Me”, and yet we continue to super size our orders in turn super sizing our body mass, calorie count and […]

Construction of the station began in 1998 and is expected to be complete by 2011.

I’m very excited to share nittyGriddy’s new logo with you. I wanted an image that would reflect the name, personality and style of the site — something simple and alive; something fun that inspires credibility but without the ultra corporate look that a bank or insurance company would have; something with a detachable ‘nG’ that […]
today, the best, most high-tech gaming consoles will run you anywhere between $250 to $500 — depending on what region of the world you live in. in america, i think the nintendo wii starter bundle goes for about $220 and the playstation 3 for around $300. and those, as well as others, include surreal high […]
v-day is finally here — and so is all the pressure that comes with it! what to get her, what to get him, what restaurant to book, what meal to cook, what kind of flowers to buy, what to write in the card, what romantic words to say, bla bla bla…
many people say they don’t care […]
do you want to spice up your sex life? it’s actually a rhetorical question, because afterall, who doesn’t? unless your genes carry a strand of the bonobo chimp’s, your answer is yes, yes, yes!
it just so happens that all the ingredients you need, can be found at your local market. and with valentine’s day right around the […]
after the devastating earthquake that hit haiti last month, thousands of companies and individuals as well as many governments from around the world, stepped up to the plate to lend a helping hand. although the haitian people have a ways to go before they can start to recover and rebuild, the money, equipment and services being […]
all i can say is that advertising has come a long way since the olden days! some ads that were acceptable in the past, would not be tolerated today, while others are simply funny or silly due to our value system which has radically changed.
take a look at some great vintage ads below — some […]
this video, made by 17 year old jamie bell, is simply terrific! the flip book, entitled “a brief history of pretty much everything”, was made entirely out of biro pens and took roughly 3 weeks to complete. needless to say that little boy genius earned full marks on his art class project. and if you think that […]
if you think people watch the super bowl just for the game itself…think again! besides being the event of the year for millions of ‘gung-ho’, chip dippin’ and drinkin’ football fans, the superbowl is also well known and watched for its’ big budget commercials. it’s often referred to as the ‘new year’s of advertising’ — […]
many of us have some sort of hobby that we enjoy — whether building model airplanes, racing cars, knitting, collecting stamps, taking pictures, blogging, whatever…
and some others have rather unusual hobbies or pastimes such as making sculptures out of cheese. oddly enough this kind of “art” has grown in popularity the last few years. i’ve […]
