Not entirely SFW. Be forewarned. Just a song for the ladies, by Jon Lajoie

My god.. watch the drummer. Quote from the original Esquire article,

“You could be wheelbarreling a supermodel offstage right while watching the Super Bowl and this guy would still be having more fun than you.”

From the linked article:

“It takes some serious game to rise above the legions of mediocre DIYers out there and stand tall as a true legend. Judging by the video posted up after the cut, James Houston can now consider himself one of the elite. Somehow, this cat managed to tackle the nearly impossible task of remixing Radiohead’s Nude without defacing it entirely (read: merging bits and pieces of the tune into a 4/4 arrangement and calling it a day). Instead, he utilized a host of aging hardware (Sinclar ZX Spectrum, Epson LX-81 dot matrix printer, HP Scanjet 3c, etc.) to create a rendition that even Yorke could admire”

This is brilliant and a little nuts. It was done as a part for a DHL advertising campaign, but don’t let that spoil it. a suitcase fitted with a GPS broadcaster was shipped via DHL with very specific routing information. The GPS was tracked, and when plotted, it drew a portrait of the artist.

Honestly, I have no idea what I can say about this….

OK, we all read a few. These are my favorites.

From a Ukrainian design firm psyho.ua made as promotional items. These are awesome..

Makes sense to me…

Well, I have not posted much for a few days and this is why. This is a wire frame view from Second Life of the TonHalle and SchlossTurm in Düsseldorf Germany. Jack, myself and several others have been commissioned to reproduce a significant amount of the landscape for a joint real-world/Second Life event. The Dome and turret on the TonHalle alone is over 500 objects.

Theres actually 10+ landmarks we are creating as well as the landscaping, railroads and canals the rest of the team is working on. Jackie has been concentrating on reproducing 13 some sets of ethnic clothing for use in SL on avatars that will interact and perform native dances for people.

More information on the exhibit can be found here.
