Some very strange art & cards.
Not safe for work (strong language).
Not safe for sending to friends, either. :)

Don’t know what this is, but it’s vaguely creepy
I’d suggest highspeed, and maybe turning down the speakers.

I may not agree with his politics, but damn dude is funny.
Once again, he’s gone after culture of old books, and this time, he’s doing Little Big Books
Awesome, alarming.

Ducks in Lodi is a comic strip that may or may not be funny. I dunno. I thought Clara would dig it though, ’cause hey, DUCKS! Also, I wanted to post about this strip ’cause it’s done by the same guy who made my little UnkyMood thing on the side there (I have no idea what kind of Mood “Toasty” is, but I’m feelin’ it – are you feelin’ it?).
Anyhoo, here’s the Ducks In Lodi strip I kinda liked.

iFilm is showing “Hooped!” by Steam Powered Films
I know these guys, and they’re funny as hell.
Go check it out
They’re #92 on the top 100 for short film as I post this.
Oh, but lots and LOTS of swearing in it, so if you can’t handle 6+minutes of “Did you or did you not f*ck me in the ass” in the style of Who’s On First, forget it. Also might get you fired and launched off the roof of your workplace.

Yanked directly from Slashdot (thanks to Timothy for hooking us all up.)
“What do you belive is true even though you cannot prove it?”
Here’s the blurb:
The 2005 Edge Question has generated many eye-opening responses from a “who’s who” of third culture scientists and science-minded thinkers. The 120 contributions comprise a document of 60,000 words.
The New York Times (“Science Times”) and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (“Feuilliton”) have been granted rights to publish excepts in their print and online editions simultaneously with Edge publication. The editors of “Science Times” and “Feuilliton”, respectively, made their own selections. The Italian newspaper, Il Sole 24 Ore will follow on Sunday, January 9th.
and here’s the answers.

Thanks to Beetnik, I’m reading this little blurble in the New York Times by Dave Eggers, who wrote two books I can honestly say I’m not really sure I understood, but enjoyed the hell out of anyway. The blurb is Sixteen Tons Of Fun, and is all about Eric Idle taking the Holy Grail to Broadway.
No, really. He is. There’s a movie coming about Graham Chapman’s life, too.
Some neat history about the first season of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, which I saw for the first time EVER when I was about eight, and was sitting in Erin Fernstrom’s TV room, eating icecream and giggling my fool head off (I’d just got back from a VERY dull week away at the lake, where they ate, seemingly, nothing but salads with sunflower seeds in ’em, and MPFC combined with the icecream was a true godsend).
But yeah, David Eggers is the guy what cobbled together A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, complete with the “Rules and Suggestions for Enjoyment of This Book” section, which is a fun read in of itself, complete with the illustration of a stapler, just in case you forgot what they looked like.
You Shall Know Our Velocity is also great, about two guys setting off with a schwack of money all over the globe to commemorate their recently deceased friend (brother? can’t remember), and is the one that I had the most trouble following. Not because it’s badly written, but because I kept tripping on the excellent writing, and not paying enough attention to what was going on…
But yeah, so…
What was my point? Oh yeah, go read the NYT thing here.

The deal is this: people send requests for songs to the Songs To Wear Pants To site, and if you’re lucky, you might actually get one.
Personal Fave: The “I am Bjork” song (with Lyrics, perfect music, and a somewhat startling impression of her Icelandicness)
Most of the songs are a minute or less, so it’s not too painful for dialup folks, but for full effect, I suggest fatpipes.
There is a CD in the works, too. Yikes.
Thanks to Darren’s site for this one.
It really is kinda freaky what people can find out about you online. I mean, there’s all this “freak you out” stuff in the papers going back two or three years now, telling you that people can find a torn up business card and end up doing a better job of running your life than you can, and while I’m a bit of an information paranoia kinda guy, I don’t fall for everything that comes across my path pretending to be legit.
(Hear that, Nigeria? Buzz off!)
(Oh, and would the “legal cousil (sic) of Burton Render buzz off too?)
(Thanks).
