Cool video…

What the hell is going on here? Hrrrthrrr posts a Tumblr linking back to what is seemingly a one off from davidhorvitz. A simple query to google turns up this article which just brings me further down the rabbit hole.

Watch this TED talk video:

That lady is crazy. Also. Not only is this thing actually happening on Flickr but it seems to pop up all over the internet. Now I’m not only part of the meme but I feel as though I’ve uncovered some sort of secret society like the mob or the illuminati.

My head is cold, now, though.

Jason Santa Maria lays out some very interesting queries here, but seems to lack answers. Here he speaks to why visual appeal is very much alive in print media, but lacking in online layouts. He argues some pretty compelling points about things that work for and against both mediums but seems at a loss to explain why more attention isn’t paid to design online.

Interesting discussion if you design for the web.

I’m amazed that it’s possible to be more meta than a Quentin Tarantino film. If for some reason you thought that Tarantino’s movies dragged or could have used faster cutting, this mash-up is for you. Simply a must-see.

It’s from Eclectic Method who has also fashioned a remix for 30 Rock, a Fraggle Rock remix, and a remix of the Colbert Report.

Wow. If you like Nintendo and public transit you must see this video about subways. ExciteBike references, among many other old school NES games abound in this informative video about world transport systems.

Somehow makes Katie Kouric more bearable. I love how terribly done the green screen effects are also. If you watch only one remix of news clips this week, let this be the one!

This video really illustrates the line between a photograph and motion pictures — a line of topical interest to me. There’s a magical wonder that happens with an object in motion. Even with the jerkiness of the low fps our mind wants to believe that there is a relationship and so follows the story frame by frame.

Kim inspired me to dig through the archive to find the oldest digital photo of myself. This one comes from Christmas Eve 2003 when I would have been 23 (still older than Kim :/ ). I don’t even believe I owned a digital camera at this point so not sure where this came from. Though I still have that shirt and wear it often.

Ahhhh… digital nostalgia.. I like Kottke’s recent musings on it. Also Rocket Boom has a must read for any would be time travelers.

I find this especially hilarious.
