From MSNBC, it’s a three dimensional visualization of the news that you can interact with in various ways. A funky little toy for sure and worth checking out if only because you can speed up the flow of the trippy effects and then, if you stare really, really hard, approximate an acid induced high. I could only get the MSNBC blogs and videos to load when I gave her a whirl but it was enough. Be cool if you could pull in any RSS feed.
The letters contain the sentence, “I have determined that you pose a security threat.” To be honest, I prefer this blunt approach as opposed to the usual bureaucratic rigamarole that requires a super secret decoder ring to decipher.
Answer a bunch of questions to find out what drug you should take. Seems to have an uncanny ability for predictive behavior as it suggested I take MDMA, which I took about forty minutes before I began the quiz. Go figure.
“OCAD student Michael Tampilic presented Vert Rain Terrace at the Rocket 2008 industrial design show. It is an interesting combination of rainwater harvesting and green wall.” - I want one.
David Allen, he of GTD fame, pegs the biggest procrastinators as “usually the most sophisticated, sensitive, creative and intelligent people.” Or in Myers-Briggs lingo all you INFP’s, which I am. I’d like to thank Mr. Allen here for providing me with a nice gift wrapped justification for my compulsive procrastination (like I needed another). You know, it’s a mean convergence of biological-environmental factors outside my sphere of influence. Or I don’t do because it’s not in my nature. Though maybe I’m giving myself to much credit here. Sensitive, sure, intelligent, when I’m not drinking, creative, comes and goes, sophisticated, hardly.
I’d imagine this is one of those links that’ll get lots of play, but here it is. StrawPoll has released a platform that allows you to create your own twitter poll. Go at it.
Woman breaks stuff with her gigantic boobs. It’s from a Bulgarian talk show, but this is a good as the clip works better if you don’t understand a thing. The best part, from where I sit, the studio audience clapping after her first successful attempt. (via Mr. Diggles)
Julia Rothman shares beautiful book art finds. Some great stuff in there.
So this is old, in Internet time, but it’s fabulous so I link. Nina Katchadourian mended broken spiderwebs with red sewing twine. An example of the way you want to interact with the world around you. Clear your head of all the mind chatter, and see nature as something to interact with in a co-creative process.
Not exactly a Flickr fiend myself, but this might be useful. The bookmarklet enables mapping, geocoding and geotagging directly in your flickr photo page. Grab it and go at it.
I was wondering about just this sorta thing the other day, and so here it is: “Vidnik is a simple program for using the built-in camera on your Mac to create movies and upload them to YouTube.” (via hivelogic, I think, lost the breadcrumb in the chaos)
“Watch young chimpanzees beat Japanese college students in a short-term-memory test by a wide margin—raising questions about primate intelligence and evolution.” Or raising questions about human intelligence depending on how you look at it.
So you’ve probably had this happen to you once or twice in your lifetime. You’re sitting around with your friends watching Jerry Springer or something and someone is like, “You know what would be cool?” And someone else is like, “What?” And they’re like, “Well, like, if we rolled down to that cemetery over by the Circle K, and dug up a grave, and then, like, took the body out and severed the head and then used the skull for a bong and shit.” It happens.
How you read this title will say a lot about you.
Two things, the title is MSNBC’s own, and grilled is an example of the gratuitous, misleading language media uses to get your attention/money. There was more laughing than grilling going on, and two, I miss John Edwards. I was prepared to vote for him.
Biochemist does the math and finds his research contributes twice the amount of CO2 per year that you do. PETA protests his findings, just because.
Apparently the leadership of ineffectual, bombastic liars in Government reduce teenagers belief in the transformative power of engaged civic activism by 100% and increase the likelihood of persistent political apathy by a magnitude of 100, or, wait, wrong study, something about weed will kill your precious baby.
Or if you’d just wear a potato sack we’d have some kids, cause apparently there’s a problem here, and your decision to dress like a tart is the cause of my biological flaw.
Things looking bleak for Hillary. Campaign decides to play its final, and most brutal, gambit. Have at ‘em Harvey.
These two sentences sum it up; “Instantly I knew this was going to be an excellent night. Playing checkers with cups of beer is brilliant. ” So this got me to thinking that there’s an untapped public market for watching people review drinking games. Think instructional video meets Siskel and Ebert meets James Lipton’s Inside the Actors Studio, with beer. Need to be a twist of course, like, streaming hands-on beer game reviews while debating a topic of the day, like, say, the legitimacy of fauna rights. Probably need to take place in a bar. Be a big hit no doubt. Give me a ring if you’re interested. Hell take it mobile, and turn the thing into a road show. Beer game reviews at famous bars, or sleazy bars, with famous people, or sleazy people. Starting to see the possibilities now huh? I’m telling ya. Untapped public demand.
This is neat. From footnote, it’s an interactive Vietnam Wall. You can focus on individual names and highlight them to learn more about the soldiers. (via pownce.com/ttscoff)
A cover gallery for the comic book Detective Comics. I picture them framed and adorning an entire wall.
First quote, “The idea is that we live in the museum as their guests, and at the same time we are hosting lice on our heads.” Okay. Second quote, “Art is no longer just a painting on the wall. Art is life, life is art.” So, like, what’s not art?
Like did you know if you take a package of bacon and throw each slice against a wall they might stick and you could take a picture of it and call it art. That’s not on the list, but for example.
Straight talk about Scientology from everyday Scientologists. “It teaches you why your heart is an alien testicle pumping space cum through your veins.” This might explain my slight heart murmur. (via Iced Blog)
So other than drinking the stuff. Thing is if you throw down a bunch of shoots in quick succession all the tips kinda take care of themselves.
For the past four years Chen Si has been walking the Nanjing Bridge patrolling for the depressed and despondent. Since that time he’s saved 144 lives. What we call a hero around these parts.
It always begins in a bar no? She refuses a breathalyzer but admits to drinking, which would have been obvious when she didn’t hit the breaks, choosing to speed up instead.
What a dog and cat diary would look like. The dog one is spot one; Sweet, my favorite thing. Kinda sums it up.
From the website, “Each day for a year, starting on September 1, 2007, Superfund365 will visit one toxic site currently active in the Superfund program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)… In the end, the archive will consist of 365 visualizations of some of the worst toxic sites in the U.S.”
I always suggest the same book. Not because it’s a classic, or will make you look smart at the party, but because it’s set in the Adirondack and Jamaica and people use drugs, which is always reason enough.
From Esquire, Tom Chiarella throws down 75 essential skills every man should be able to do. Not listening and criminally ineffectual governance didn’t seem to make the list.
There’s no way around it, farts are funny. I’d go so far as to say adding a fart sound to anything makes it funnier, so here’s a game with that in mind. Help the pig fly through the air with the power of his farts. Someone had to make it.
The LightCap 200 turns any standard water bottle into a light show. Kinda like bringing your own lava lamp out into the wild.
No Free Refills aims to educate and combat the perils of our disposable society by targeting the paradigm of single use silliness, the fast food industry.
The thing is I’m not sure I want another President who suffers from clinical delusions. Delusions can be useful as a means of escape from the crazy making of our collective consciousness, but it’s a fickle proposition. You can end up filtering everything through the small pipes of your own fantasies. Everything’s an attack. The world is hostile, cruel, and pernicious. Maybe it is? Maybe it isn’t? Leadership is standing stoutly between the contradictions, and creating an army of leaders, not a ragtag band of followers. Maybe it’s all bunk. I link. Make note to avoid psychoanalyzing in the future.

I'd Take Credit for Love Spackle If I was a Politician
Aja West coins the phrase “Love Spackle”, which I adore. Hits the mark in making her point, and sounds like the name of a great band that doesn’t exist yet.
