• Commented on Guatemala: In YouTube Video Shot Before His Death, Attorney Blames President for His Assasination
  While this makes a great public spectacle, I doubt, should it ever make it to court, that it would make very good evidence. All of which, of course, has no bearing on whether any of it is true. I'm not...

  Lovely animation and camera work, but so far as I can see, there's not enough sense in the layout of all the players in the building. Everyone's scattered throughout without providing a sense of how they came there. @ Dan...

• Commented on Stylish packaging for beloved lowbrow media
  I actually really like Forrest Lucero's imaginings of The Postal Service and Daft Punk songs as Penguin-style book covers. Very 40's sci-fi, which in my mind fits DP pretty nicely, and in comfortingly puzzling for TPS. For some reason, the...

  I would just like to thank vermeer99 for TOTALLY UPPPING THE CRAZY in that link. As the other site says, "luckily, the crazy starts at :01 and doesn't let up until 20:54, so you can enjoy it for as long...

• Commented on Pneumatic tube-based systems -- the real series of tubes
  My bank (credit union, anyway) has them for their drive-in kiosks. Pretty neat, but not worth the time sitting around in a car, and filling out paperwork any time you want to do anything. I've since started walking in and...
