This Stereogum post makes absolutely no sense to me. Does anyone know what they’re saying at all? I am so clearly the opposite of cool. But hey, owl.

Just so you know.
Handmade from bamboo, this owl wall clock strikes me as kind of retro-fabulous and would fit perfectly in the home of an unhappy hipster. Fawn&Forest, the site where it’s sold, bills it as great for a nursery or baby shower (gift), but this owl expert sorta thinks no baby is required.

This owl-theme loo is from an Apartment Therapy house tour, specifically, Carrie’s Calm, Cool and Collected house tour, a look around a nicely-decorated 900 square foot rental in Los Feliz, CA. Apartment Therapy’s house tours are some of my favorite forms of structured procrastination (the marginally useful activities you participate in while you’re intended to be doing more useful activities).
In the event that you too, dear reader, enjoy participating in structured procrastination of the interior design-related kind, have a look at this new house tour: Jason & John’s Hyper Saturated Home. In the words of Tim Gunn, that’s a lot of look.
(Bonus: spot the owl.)

AOL launches Owl beta. ‘Cause, obviously, Owelle was taken. Owl’s premise is that “each of us is an area packed with knowledge.” An area? Wonder how many times that sentence went ‘round and ‘round the product/marketing/PR team before they ended up with “area.” Hopefully that sentence is also still in beta.
Mateusz Kolek is the graphic artist behind this Polish-speaking owl, who, along with its fellow woodland creatures fox, bunny and deer, seems to be fleeing some giant, shiny land-anemone. The title of this print is “Evil Comes Out of the Forest.”
He also has a very cool owl t-shirt, pictured on the headless man below.
Go here for additional awesomeness.

Owelle's First Obit: Harold Bell, Creator of Woodsy Owl
The New York Times reports that Harold Bell, creator of the Robin Hood-esque environmentalist owl who has since the 70’s encouraged folks to “Give A Hoot, Don’t Pollute,” died at his home in Los Angeles on Friday at the age of 90.
