about out of sight

A site of original and unoriginal content meant to entertain and inform. Out of Sight is edited by JJ O'Donoghue and William Hilderbrandt.

more about out of sight

If this site had to be summed up in one word and a preceding parenthetical phrase, then it would be (hopefully) entertaining. Think of it as an archive of some of the most interesting articles, videos, photography, and miscellany that JJ and William find online.

Presently the two have hopes of expanding the site to include some of their own work, and when they do just watch the hilarity ensue.

In the meantime please leave comments on posts - whether you like or dislike - and make suggestions as to what you want to see more of. For some of you it's more tits and ass, for others you prefer men with beards, and for one of you (you know who I am talking about) it's all about jam.

one more thing on out of sight

Out of sight is Will and JJ's attempt to get noticed and invited on daytime TV or any Fox TV show. Before out of sight, there was rich and creamy, a hugely popular blog for spammers who wanted to sell us penis enhancing products. They were wasting their time.

But to stick to the augmentation analogy, out of sight at its best is a brain enhancing website. That's a radical statement guys.

What you'll find on the site is a ménage à trois of humour, skepticism, intelligence and titilation. We really enjoy comments and recommendations and we hope to build up a community of followers so that we then add a subscription wall and take on the Financial Times or Playboy. Or just get jobs with them.

who is this stud william?

William lives in Paris. At the start of 2009 he left London and all his friends and his bad job to come to France, where he hardly speaks the language, to be with his girlfriend. Officially he is very happy to finally be living with her but occasionally he does get nostalgic for London.

He grew up in the US - Oklahoma (please do not hum the musical!) - and studied philosophy before going to London for a Master's in journalism. His work has not been published by the best in the industry, such as The New York Times, The Atlantic Monthly, The Economist, Mother Jones, McSweeney's, and many, many more.

Currently he is freelancing at radio and TV gigs, slowly acquiring technical skills he hopes he can eventually use to make documentary and feature films that one day will not be produced by some of the world's best film studios.

who is this wise guy jj?

Quite early on in life JJ discovered that he was a fabricator. In 2006 his mum and dad invited him to leave their home in Cork, Ireland and head for London, where he now resides, to shake up the city. He cycles hard, drinks hard and blogs harder. You get the picture.

Currently he's alive, and, like most people his age he's 29. He longs for the day Japan get's moved right next to Ireland, and that Cork wins the world series in hurling. More than anything else he want's a book deal. Failing that a decent sandwich with French mustard, mayonnaise and Ballymaloe relish in it.

This is badass. Dig the music, the old-style graphics, and the rhythm. That boy definitely thugs it.

I love cartoonist Sage Stossel’s latest work over at The Atlantic - a Facebook world leaders group. Had to crop the image so it’s worth checking out the link to see the rest. My favorite part of what I excluded was this: Muammar Qaddafi is off to see He’s Just Not That Into You. Hamid Karzaisaw this on Saturday. Very funny!

We’re a contemplative duo at Out of Sight. We like to constantly question - why? what?  - I’m assuming you know what questions are so I’ll stop. But, above all, the question we ask our selves daily, no minutely, if that’s a word is, “Would you?” And yes, Pochantos, I would. However, according to this list of the 50 most do-able cartoon hotties,  the Indian princess only makes it no six. Number one - the grand dame of cartoon hotness - Jessica Rabbit.

I love seeing other people’s sketch books. That’s not true. Some are fascinating and others are…well they don’t hold your attention for too long. But cartoonist Tom Gauld put some of the pages from his sketch book on Flickr and they’re very nice. Unfinished ideas, streams of thought, cluttered but organised. Check the rest of his set here.

This is a pretty fun idea - Garfield: Lost in Translation. Original Garfield comics are translated into Japanese and then back into English, I think via Google language tools. Anyway, the site was inspired by Blogoscoped of the same name that used Chinese-English translations.
