This is Your Life, This is Your Time
Oh man, this video from a high school Christian rock band called Final Placement has got to be among the roughest musical artifacts I’ve ever encountered. It’s either a complete disaster or some kind of deeply ironic exercise in bad songwriting and musicianship. There are any number of notable moments, but my favorite is the guitar solo at 2:08. It’s just so off, and so sincere. Because I’m pretty sure this isn’t a joke, I do feel bad for these kids. I remember what it was like to start playing music at a young age. I just can’t imagine how this song made it this far without anyone stepping in. You know, for the sake of the children.

Another update: Found another copy. This masterpiece must live on! – Erik
Third update: Enough of this here today, gone tomorrow youtube bullshit. This video deserves vimeo, we all know it. – B

If Jackson Pollock Used A Mouse
People like to disparage so-called “modern” art by proclaiming that with the proper time and inclination, anyone could draw seemingly arbitrary lines on a canvas or reprint the iconic image of a soup can. As it turns out, those people are wrong, and I don’t mean their closed-minded aesthetics: it now takes neither time nor inclination to make Pollockesque art, thanks to a new software application by Anatoly Zenkov. According to Fast Company,
You just run the app, minimize the window, and go about your business. The tracks show your mouse path, and the circles show where your pointer lingered–stopping points where you were working on the keyboard, away from the computer, or immersed in content.

Tricks Are What Whores Do For Money
Kiwi architect Neil Dawson installed “Horizons,” an optical illusion-cum-installation art display, in a large private park in New Zealand for our enjoyment. It certainly looks like a cartoonish piece of paper but is actually welded steel.
Speaking of illusions, please enjoy this video of a disembodied Charlie Chaplin mask twirling around slowly. Sorry, schizophrenics!

Bruce Lee’s One Inch Punch
I don’t know how it came up, but I got to talking with someone the other day who had never heard of Bruce Lee’s Once Inch Punch. Here’s a brief documentary that explains the move.
Apparently the Entire World is a Green Screen
You know how you thought you were a wicked savvy TV viewer who could spot a green screen a mile away? Wrong-o. It turns out your just able to spot the janky ones they want you to see.
