The Super Friends in Office Space

Okay, so it's not as fun as the Super Friends does Budweiser commercials from a few years back, but at least they picked a good movie to spoof.

NYC Subway Photography Ban

This news piece aired on ABC News February 19, 2005. New York City will decide whether to ban photography on the subway in the interest of national security. I'm very much in favor of preserving freedom against terrorists. However, if they decide to ban subway photography, the decision will be a harsh overreaction to terrorism and will help the erosion of the freedoms that it intends to protect.

NOTE: This piece has been posted without permission. But, I think its importance risks a bit of ire from network executives at ABC. Heck, if anything, I think ABC News did a wonderful job with the news story!

The World's First 5-Star Undersea Hotel

Evidently, you don't even have to know how to SCUBA dive in order to get to Poseiden Resorts. There's a tunnel that leads to the hotel itself. And at $1200/night, I sure hope it's a chauffered trip down (and back up).

Do You Know How to Ride an Esuvee?

Such an extremely impressive web site. I'm afraid it doesn't say enough about who's sending out the message, though.

A big thanks goes out to Matt for telling me to, "Blog this one!"

Poppin' in the Rain

Tip of the hat to my wife, Joyce, for letting me know about this one. We both love Gene Kelly. But we bet you've never seen Gene Kelly dance like this -- unless you've seen this commercial before.

Milton Glaser, Courtesy of Hillman Curtis

"If you like Mozart and I like Mozart. We already have something in common. So, the likelyhood of our killing each other has been diminished. Art performs this pacifying function in culture in that its practitioners create commonalities. I always quote a guy named Lewis Hyde who wrote about primitive cultures where there is an exchange of gifts that cannot be kept but passed on. And the passing on of gifts is a device to prevent people from killing each other because they all become part of a single experience. His leap of imagination occurs when he says this is what artists do. Artists provide that gift to the culture so that people have something in common."

- Milton Glaser

Stick Up NYC

From the site:

New York is covered by stickers.

The exhibition gives an impression of New York's sticker scene, illustrated by some 250 pictures taken in spring 2004, starting from Obey Giant to the famous Macintosh Apple.

Mailboxes, traffic lights, public signs and walls, stickers are attached to nearly everything.

Even though they were not supposed to be there.

Showing either promotion art or political statements they still represent one of the most familiartrademarks of the urban jungle.

The book comes out this month. Click here to view the gallery.

One Hundred Pounds and Four Gigapixels

From the Wired.com article:

Physicist Graham Flint is working on an ultra-high-resolution portrait of America -- a series of gigantic, gigapixel images taken with a custom camera made from bits and pieces of decommissioned Cold War hardware.

Armed with a self-designed camera he crafted from parts of spy planes and nuclear reactors, Flint is crisscrossing America, taking thousands of pictures of cities, monuments and national parks.

Weighing more than 100 pounds, Flint's camera captures images at 4 gigapixels -- a resolution high enough to photograph four football fields and capture every single blade of grass. When printed at maximum resolution, the images are as big as billboards, but render the finest detail.

View his online gallery. For the rest of the Wired.com article, click here.

Holy Blinkenlights! Talk About Big Pixels.

Arcade is an interactive light installation. Using your mobile phone, you can become a part of the event at any time. Using your cell phone as a controller, you use the lighted windows of the office building as pixels to play games like Tetris, Pong, Breakout or Pac-Man.
