Almost Exciting!

Cool video of some awesome hand-drawn lettering. I haven’t looked into who did this or exactly what it’s about, but it was too neat to wait before posting …

Link to video.

I am still trying to figure this one out. Why would you want a picture of a cassette with your name on it? Since I am searching the couch cushions of the Internet, I thought why not post it.

Awesome “space painting” in under a minute. Depending on how many “cool things” you’ve seen today, this could be jaw-dropping once you realize what’s going on: Link.

Our friend Bruce was kind enough to note that we had never linked up any webcomics.

He sent a list of several, all of which I did not take the time to peruse, so I’m sure of the SFW/NSFW status of these links.

Therefore, I will tell you about one I did check out: Dueling Analogs. A pretty funny web comic that deals a lot with video game culture. Some naughty language, including one f-bomb somewhere between today and December 2006, but mostly alright.

I’m going to ask that you post any additions or suggestions to the comments, and I’ll be sure to check them all out, and keep everyone updated.

My personal favorite, that I’ve been reading for quite some time: xkcd. Check it out, now!

Pretty picture of the Sun from NASA.

About:

This colorized picture is a mosaic of ultraviolet images from the orbiting TRACE satellite sensitive to light emitted by highly charged iron atoms. Growing in number, the intricate structures visible are the Sun’s hot active regions with temperatures over a million degrees Fahrenheit and their associated magnetic loops.

Found @ Kottke : sweet paper airplanes.

To Err is Human. Awesome shirt, I don’t want to spoil it. Check it out.

Denis Darzacq’s ‘La Chute’ (’The Fall’) is an awesome collection of photos.

From The Guardian:

“… these pictures - taken with a manual camera and not Photoshopped - in which impassive 20-year-olds seem about to hit the ground at high speed. Why are all the shutters closed behind them? Will anyone care if they splatter on the pavement? Will anyone even notice them tumbling to certain oblivion?”

“In 2006, Darzacq dreamt up The Fall. It was partly the horror-struck idea of people falling from the twin towers on September 11, but it was mostly a depiction of an entire generation in France in free fall, ignored by society, their energy untapped and unused. He felt today’s France was the sort of place where someone could tumble from the sky without a net and no one walking down the street would bat an eyelid.”

The article at the Guardian is worth a read. Very cool stuff.

I will do this. I will do this to someone. I will do this to someone, some day.

Cardboard office (prank).

It’s almost cool enough to do to myself, just to see what my coworkers would say when they showed up the next day and I pretended to work.

For example:

I thought Spartan might get a kick out of this one in particular:

I know it’s already been on digg for awhile, but wanted to link up this page at Financial Hack for displaying a pretty cool list of dollar bill / money origami. Each one attributed/linked up - so that’s cool, too.

If you’re really interested in doing some of these yourself, as suggested by a commentator on digg, check out Clay’s site. He’s nice enough to include instructions (for this awesome shirt, for instance), and several links to more info if you’re interested.

Blue team, go!
