My point was that it's kinda old news...

But she is pretty hip for someone in her 60's...

Man or Astro-man? used one of his paintings for their first record...

Lungs Ashtray Entices Fatalists

March 14, 2008 3:24pm

I used to have an astray that had a dome over it, and above that was a pair of pink translucent plastic lungs... Kinda worked like a chimney for the astray, but the more you used it, the blacker the little lungs got. I actually never used it, and eventually gave it to a friend.

As for the warnings... When I was in Australia back in ’95, I remember seeing a cigarette machine in a bar that had an X-ray of some lungs that had emphysema. Covered the whole front of the machine. No text, just the image. Even though I was a smoker at the time, I thought it was pretty bad ass.

Zine library at Ontario College of Art and Design

I didn't think any still made zines anymore.

Since everybody and their mother seems to have a blog (or even their own domain) to espouse their opinions, why make the trip to Kinko's?

That said, it is an artform. Much like band flyers, they have the handmade feeling that is impossible to convey via the internets (unless, you have Adobe CS and loads of time on your hands to make some look like it was actually hadnmade).

African ATM offers eight languages

I bet if there had been more than eight buttons, there's a pretty good chance there'd be more choices...

Surprised French isn't on there.

Wow. Something in Flash that I actually liked... Don't think I've ever said that before..

Soviet propaganda cartoon DVDs

This looks like an abreviated vesion of the four DVD set that was released by Jove Film back a while back (and appears to be out of print).

Anti-DRM cards to stick in your Netflix envelopes from Defective By Design

Um... Is the sticker design supposed to be a little white square with a red X in it?

Air travel in ten years -- the Freakonomic future

I think Ninja Air should start looking for investors... I'm all for it.

Time Bandits map reproduction

October 16, 2007 12:08pm

Oooooooooooooooooooh. I've always want that!


Evil: When I have the map, I will be free, and the world will be different, because I have understanding.
Robert: Uh, understanding of what, Master?
Evil: Digital watches. And soon I shall have understanding of video cassette recorders and car telephones. And when I have understanding of them, I shall have understanding of computers. And when I have understanding of computers, I shall be the Supreme Being!

I would love to watch this try to make it past airport security...

Moment of TSA surrealist zen @ LAX: Xeni

I had the same thing happen to me in Atlanta, back in 2003... I had just gotten thru the metal detector / x-ray funtime... All of the sudden I hear "Every freeze. Don't move." Then the SWAT team runs out. We stood there for about 15 mintues, then a guy in suit came out of an office and said "This has been a drill, thank you for your cooperation"... Yep, the terrorists are winning.

No friends yet.
