This Week in Awesome (10/17/09)

This was deadline week at work, so I wasn't able to goof off online quite as much as usual, but I have a few items. In order, from coolest to strangest...

England is releasing some sweet postage stamps of classic album covers. Why can't we get something like this in the USA? (The Awl)

Now something can come between you and your Calvins, but only if you're the sort of guy who feels like you need some enhancement downstairs. Ick. (NY Observer via Racked)

And finally, a cute little animated video illustrating the challenges faced by the people who do all that driving for Google Street View. (Funny or Die)

Hi. Thanks for the link to our site. We've now added an order and payment page on our website so that people around the world can buy the stamps and associated products, and people in the UK can buy the products which they can't find at their local PO.

I understand that the US Citizens Stamp Advisory Council is seriously considering album cover stamps in the next few years. Won't be next year, but maybe 2012?
