Art For Monday.
Ok.. I need to be careful with this post in order to avoid search engine traffic of the… wrong sort. So in Belgium, the NEE party (which is “an impartial protest movement running for senate) is fielding their lead candidate Tania Derveaux. Apparently some other candidates have been promising the creation of 400,000 [...]

Apparently Marcondes’ immortal hand and eye could…
This video is stunning. Inspired by William Blake’s The Tiger, Guilherme Marcondes directs this video with puppets, sets and animation. That tiger is particularly cool, I’m not sure why, though, I think it’s the way he moves - I guess you get a lot of freedom of movement when [...]

Apparently there’s a yearly Bring Your Own Big Wheel race down Lombard Street in SF. Something like a thousand people go and slalom down the crookedest street there is, and it’s damn steep, too! Check out some pics and some videos to get a sense of the mayhem. It’s a good thing there’s so many, [...]

I don’t know why I don’t just load up an RSS feed of the Wooster Collective on this site, but this particular post is art, but also a little nerdy, so I felt like I could post it this Tuesday evening. It’s one of those things where you have to find just the right place [...]

So hot on the heels of R2D2 mailboxes, the USPS is about to release their Star Wars stamps. Their whole homepage is focussed on the new stamps and they’re letting you vote for your favourite stamp, the winner of said vote to be released as an individual stamp (the rest are part of a sheet). [...]
