This Week in Awesome (8/7/10)

Well, we finally got some decent, comfortable weather around here, although to be fair, last weekend was also pretty nice. Meanwhile, back on the interwebs...

Can you stand one more Mad Men-related thing? NYC food blog Eater (part of the bloglomerate that also does the sites Racked and Curbed) worked up a nice list of bars and restaurants that have been featured on the show, complete with maps. (via Basket of Kisses)

A Seattle parking enforcement officer ticketed a guy who was sleeping in his car, only he wasn't sleeping... (Seattle Post-Intelligencer via Consumerist)

I've never heard of the band Dancing Pigeons, but they've made a cool video for their song "Ritalin." (Vimeo via Jalopnik)

Last year I posted about some folks who shot a comedic soap opera short film inside an IKEA. Now another group has produced something similar, but perhaps a bit more ambitious. Watch the trailer for Stealing Beauty here (YouTube), and read more about it here (Very Short List).

I know it's been a week since Lindsay Lohan was released from jail, and normally I would be disinclined to glorify her bad behavior and poor judgment by posting anything to do with her, but over in South Korea (Taiwan?) they take a slightly different approach to reporting celebrity gossip: computer animation. Somehow it adds a fascinating new dimension to these banal, tawdry stories while (I suspect) simultaneously mocking them. (The Awl via ?)
