If you really want to pique my curiosity, try 1D. As they say, less is more!” A friend of mine shared a link to a DIY 2D glasses project. It’s a template to print, cut and paste together for glasses that only have one eye hole, thus eliminating depth perception, thus locking you in the world of 2D. I thought it was funny.

The 2D glasses inspired me to create my own template for 1D glasses. Enjoy!

1D Glasses: Because Less Is More!

1D Glasses: Because Less Is More!

If you’d like, you can see the project that inspired this for yourself, but be warned: its name is a touch on the crude side. You have been warned. Really. I’m not responsible for you being offended. Okay? Okay.

The DIY 2D Glasses Project that inspired me. Also here. Also here. Finally here.

“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is being released to home video on Tuesday, May 5, 2009.

It’s being released in Blu-ray Disc format, which will turn into an HD-DVD Disc after a few months, then later still a DVD, then a LaserDisc, then a VideoDisc, then a VHS tape, followed by Betamax, and finally an 8mm reel before finally disappearing from existence altogether.
