I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

Google My Ride!

It may look like a psy­che­delic ver­sion of a “Pimp My Ride” mobile…but it’s not! It’s none other than Asif Hus­sain Shah’s taxi! WHO/WHAT? A Pak­istani cab dri­ver turned author. Just Google him and see for yourself…I sure as heck did! Oh, and if that’s not enough, you can also YouTube him and watch the 5 minute doc­u­men­tary [with “Memories” […]

Avatar Protest in the West Bank

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 […]

nittyGriddy Gets a Makeover!

Hello Every­one,
As you can see (if you’ve been here before), nittyGriddy’s been slightly retouched and fresh­ened up! Thanks to the won­der­ful peo­ple over at Cre8mania, espe­cially Con­stan­tine — aka Costa — who put up with my inde­ci­sive­ness and my look­ing over his shoul­der for a cou­ple days [pre­tend­ing to under­stand all the CSS stuff and other technical […]

The Photoshop Effect: Reality Bites!

Ever won­der how celebri­ties look so good and per­fect in mag­a­zines? Not one bit of extra fat or cel­lulite, not one sun spot, blem­ish, pim­ple or unwanted hair! Ever won­der why your lat­est, dig­i­tal 12.1 megapixel Canon doesn’t deliver the same ‘pic­ture per­fect’ look? Why you look…well, just like you?!
Watch this video from diet.com where Sarah […]

Flying for Dummies [Updated]

I orig­i­nally pub­lished this post on Feb. 12 — but I’ve updated it by adding another pic­ture of the famous Kul­ula info­graphic plane as well as a few more cheeky labels.
as if fly­ing wasn’t fright­en­ing enough these days, one air­line decided to scare the crap out of its’ pas­sen­gers even more, by paint­ing an idiot’s […]

nittyGriddy’s New Logo is Here :)

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 […]

Cheese Sculptures

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 […]

Galactic Suite Space Resort

the ‘space hotel’, oth­er­wise known as the galac­tic suite space resort, is due to launch (in every sense of the word) in 2012. barcelona based archi­tect, xavier clara­munt from equip xcl archi­tects — a for­mer aero­space engi­neer, is the brain behind this sur­real, multi-billion dol­lar project that has been in place since 2007 for their client, […]

Shoes to Show!

as (m)any women will tell you, shoes are precious…just ask car­rie in ‘sex and the city’!
each shoe is like an indi­vid­ual work of art; and that is often why our invest­ment in them is scar­ily close to just that. from chanel to jimmy choo, louboutin to manolo blah­nik, dior to gucci; each pair is worth a […]
