Whatever Happened To 5-25-77?
For those who don’t know 5-25-77 is a feature film about a young high school student completely obsessed with Star Wars.
.
Not to be confused with the upcoming (we hope) Fanboys - this film resonates so frickin’ strongly with my own geeked out youth. I remember seeing […]

More Than Just A Phone - iPhone Piano Video
I was saying it for months before the damned thing was ever released into the real world and now, with the next iteration of the iPhone looming on the horizon, I found this nifty video over at the MAKE blog. It showcases an app for the iPhone and iPod Touch called Piano.
Sweet.

And then there’s […]

Buster Keaton + Radiohead
Fred sent me this via Facebook and I just had to share.
I’ve loved Keaton’s work from back when I was a kid and through my own less than illustrious days as a clown and mime. His physical theatre is stunning and surreal and beautifully collected here with the mesmerizing sounds of Radiohead.
Enjoy and share.
Thanks, […]

Surf Your Worlds With Hacked Wii Balance Board
Found this over on Gizmodo and thought it to be trĂ©s cool. It’s two German students at a centre for studies in artificial intelligence who have hacked the Wii balance board so they can literally surf through Google Earth and Second Life.
Just as Johnny Lee hacks the Wii to create cutting edge tech that […]

Pork and Beans - Weezer’s New Video
Weezer has posted a video on YouTube for their new song “Pork and Beans” - and it features a vast array of internet “stars” - including having the bdan playing in the midst of a Coke + Mentos deluge.
Brilliant stuff.
I think Weezer has consistently held their thumb on the pulse of current culture. Can’t […]

Holy Crap! - mADness!!
Hopefully most of you missed what happened to these pages earlier today.
I’d been messing around with GoogleAds and AdBrite yesterday - just trying out a few things - seeing what might work and what might not in an effort to subtly eke out a few bucks from this daffy exercise of mine.
But I fucked up.
I […]

Bill O’Reilly Meltdown Dance Mix
Found this over on BoingBoing.
I would never recommend this sort of behaviour for my friends and colleagues in the news media - unless they want to partake in the on-air equivalent of a lease breaking party.
These pathetic antics, at best, merely leave the lingering sort of stain (and attendant aroma) which no one would desire […]

Things Are About To Get Busy.
Things are about to get busy for me.
According to my Horoscope - which, I assure you, I never consult:
The time is ripe for you to dissect less
and build more.
I had, of course, already arrived at that conclusion myself and was in no need of any arbiter of the passage of stars to tell me this […]

Happy Birthday Spam!
Gizmodo proclaims today is the 30th Birthday of SPAM - not the tasty yummy delicious canned luncheon meat - the commercial electronic shite which clutters our online lives.
Thirty years ago, on this day, you came into the world as a little misguided e-mail sent by an equipment engineer over Arpanet to promote a new line […]
