WTF? Don’t you hate it when you sit down to watch a favorite show and it’s basically a filler episode with clips from previous episodes tied together with a loose “plot”…
Those shows that are made when the writers are either too lazy or too burned out to come up with something new.
Well, this post is the equivalent of that. Kinda. Only instead of pulling old bits of posts from the lumpy stew of my past archives, I’m going to link to things I’ve found interesting today that I don’t actually have the time right now to explore as fully as they may deserve.
But it’s still a step up from posting about my lunch. Which is chilli.
Off we go!
- Send in your samples to be photographed by a scanning electron microscope
- Jane McGonigal on how games can make the world a better place
- Rentokil’s misleading marketing is “brilliant”
- YouTube: Viacom secretly posted its videos even as they sued us for not taking down Viacom videos*
- Entertainment industry sours on term “pirate” — too sexy
- Raiding Eternity
- Mark Dery: What do zombies Mean?
- Photo series of baby dressed up as ruthless dictators
- Loud sex is a reason for cops to search your home, rules court
- The Young Man’s Book of Amusement
- Trailer for Parallel Lines: five short films that use the same dialogue
- Future of Publishing video will amuse and delight
And that will do it for today. Big thanks to BoingBoing.net for being awesome.
*Fun Fact! I posted a video on YouTube a couple years back showing how I developed a sketch in Photoshop and it was taken down by order of Viacom because it had the word “Help” in the title. It had nothing in it that wasn’t created by me. I later changed the name and reposted it without any problem. Fuck them and their draconic copyright enforcement. I hope their entire legal department spontaneously shit themselves inside out, all at once. baBOOMF! *wobble*
I wanna do the microscope thing – that would be awesome! Much more awesome than pooping myself inside out. Thank God I don’t work for Viacom!! =D
