Erin (who writes something on Tofugu like once a year now, and has a new blog over at SputnikSweetie.com) showed me this calendar. After looking at this calendar for four straight days, I exclaimed:

“Omg, this will be an awesome ‘Saturday Timewaster’ for Tofugu!”

“But what day is Saturday?? Where AM I?”

“Thank God I have this calendar to tell me.”

This is the most addicting, time wasting calendar I’ve ever seen. Thanks Uniqlo (who also told us what women think about their bras).

Tilt shift is awesome.

Video tilt shift is even better.

Tilt shift video of Japan is even betterer.

Knowing what day it is today is pretty sweet as well.

Uniqlo usually makes really inexpensive clothes, but sometimes they make really cool interactive websites as well. They’ve apparently been running this calendar for a while, but they just released the winter edition making it full of snowy goodness (and making Hokkaido-centric calendar buff really happy).

So yes, this is basically just a web calendar with a few other neat things like greeting cards and screensavers (guess what’s saving my screen now), but something about it makes it so mesmerizing. Perhaps it’s wanting to know what you’ll see next, or perhaps it’s finding all the little things going on in each scene… Most likely, though it’s the incredible music (oh Fantastic Plastic Machine, how I love you).

Anyways, to see the glory in action, you’ll want to check it out for yourself. Try not to get stuck over there for too long, it’s addicting (not to mention a *ahem* “time waster”of sorts.
