Winter Olympics
The Winter Olympics - Top Gear style. Lior has presented me with this glorious event via bit torrent a few weeks ago, and lo and behold it has made its way to Google Video.
You really have to adore google for putting up an entire episode of Top Gear available for direct viewing.

Amen Break
The Amen Break is apparently the most sampled 6-second drum loop, like, ever. It actually dates back to the 60's and has been hugely influential in Techno, Hip-Hop, Jungle Beat, Movies, Commercials and Radio.
It's quite interesting, only make sure you clear some time for it - it's 18 minutes long.
I'm somewhat confused about the video though....

Gmail Skins
New Firefox extension allows you to change the look and feel of your mail interface:
- Change the colour/skin of your inbox
- Insert smileys/emoticons and images in to your emails
- Make the navigation (Inbox, Starred, Sent Mail, etc) horizontal
- Fix the navigation in place so that you don't have to scroll to the top of the page to see it
- Zebra stripes on mailbox - pretty!
- Change the attachment paperclip (on inbox) to an icon indicating the type of attachment
- Hide various page elements (invite panel, page footer, your email address from the top right of inbox - may be useful for public computers)

80's Isuzu commercial
Watch out potential buyers - this car is likely to leap up spontaneously and get you involved in all sorts of shenanigans. It's also unclear if these guys are driving in formation or that the car just naturally tends to swerve at high speeds.
Hard to believe but it's claimed all those stunts are real. Insane.

Mozart
In honor of Mozart's 250th birthday, the Danish national radio released 9 of Mozart's symphonies for your listening pleasure (256kbps).
I'm quite sure that the better part of the people reading this have little difficulty obtaining their own "free" mp3s, but so be it....

Holophonic Sound
So as I gather "holophonic sound" is old news and actually quite low tech - what they do is record using two microphones, and when you listen to the recorded sound with headphones it feels very much like you're there, because the mics record exactly what your ears would detect on the scene.
'Holophonic' is just the groovy name it received this century.
This here is such a recording. It only works with headphones, mind you.
That guy shaking matches all around me totally got me feeling paranoid... I had to fight the urge to look behind me.
[Sound]
Choir cover to "I touch Myself". To directly (down)load the mp3 go here.

What do you get when you cross Asians and Fear Factor? This. NSFW what with the nakedness. And the pigs. Definitely the pigs.
Boys! Beware of balding men with a moustache!
Been a while since I checked up on Gunther. He's got new material!

LED Throwies
LED Throwies are an inexpensive way to add color to any ferromagnetic surface in your neighborhood. A Throwie consists of a lithium battery, a 10mm diffused LED and a rare-earth magnet taped together. Throw it up high and in quantity to impress your friends and city officials.
Watch it live here. If you're wondering where the music is from... you really haven't been paying attention lately.

Spam
I've been unable to log into my blogger account for the past two days. Sorry for the lack of updates.
I don't know what has happened, but for the last couple of days I've been getting obscene amounts of spam. To my Gmail inbox too! Which is strange 'cause I don't use it anywhere but with friends... someone must be mad at me.
It reminded me of these two classics:
From bash.com:
So, guys, I have some news. I know I usually don't talk much about stuff unless it's solid, but this is interesting, and I think you should know. I just got an E-mail about an interesting proposition.
* volsung_ perks up.Apparently, there are lesbians that want my 'hard cock.'
* volsung_ flips Paradox the bird.:) They want it 'now,' apparently, so the timetable is somewhat limited. Are you going to just take their offer as presented, or is there an opportunity for negotiation? I'm not sure. I'm sure your hard cock is in great demand. An exclusive deal might not be in your best interest. Last time I got an offer like this, there were some catches.
From zug.com (it's a great article):
I recently received an e-mail from a woman named Lela Jenna, where she made fun of the size of my penis. Even though my penis has never met Ms. Jenna, she still had the audacity to write this:From: Lela Janna

At first, I was hurt. "What's wrong with the size of my DICCKY?" I thought to myself. "No woman has ever made fun of my length, nor my girth."
"At least, not to your face," added my ruthlessly cruel self-esteem.

More Snoken
Earlier I posted a film by Snoken Productions shot in the Battlefield 2 engine. I thought it was very well done. They have more stuff if you're interested. Edit - upon closer inspection there's nothing of interest there.
This is their take on the Sony superballs commercial.

Top Gear - geared down
Real Transformer

AIDS Awareness
This animated film was done by the French for the International Aids Awareness Day (December 1st).
It's all very cute and happy end-ish, yet pretty much not safe for work. They even have the helicopter on there...

Spinograph fun
I could play with this stuff for hours. Check out the links on the left, lots of other goodies there. The blackmail app. could come in handy one day...Pictures and Art
Are you a student? Have you hardly left your house in the past weeks except for the occasional exam or study group?
Doesn't matter if you answered yes or no (dammit. It was yes) - These pictures will cheer you right up. So would sex with Jessica Alba. Trust me.
Pop Experiment - Cool and sometimes disturbing art.
Yuko Shmizu - I liked the Letters of Desire.
China is beautiful. But we already knew that.
Southeast Asia mostly. Again, beautiful.
This is an album of silly web pics I found.
This is all way to much to be taken in in one go - try it one link at a time.

The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions
The music is from the movie "The Life Aquatic" which I loved, but that's not the subject here.This album has Seu Jorge doing acoustic versions of Bowie's Ziggy Stardust in Portuguese. The result is quite appealing.

Ads from the UK. I also just discovered that if you name a .jpg "ads", it will be blocked by adblock and cause you to hit the screen and curse blogspot quite a bit before you realize what's going on.
I like this game. Or did. Until it gave me an aneurysm.
Uber Breakout 2.
Star Wars Chewy has a blog right here on blogspot.
Thank you Fuzz.
