Awesome visuals

time making this? awesome.

Makes me think naked lunch.

WARNING: Do NOT calculate Pi in binary. It is conjectured that this number is normal, meaning that it contains ALL finite bit strings.

Wobbly.

I post this because it’s new, shaggy bisons are cool, and I’m going to see her trounce about on a stage tomorrow.

WATCH IT

EDIT: It’s actually available in 3D… if you’ve got a pair of those glasses lying about.

Oh internet, how I love thee, let me count the ways. You give a voice to people with waaaaaaaay too much time on their HANDS. Sublime.

Arthur C. Clarke (and others) on the Mandelbrot Set:

“Also, I am told… I have never tried the experiment myself… that when certain illegal chemicals are ingested, you experience visual hallucinations strikingly similar to some of the patterns of the Mandelbrot Set.”

Spotted in the credits: “Sound: Ray Brotman”

Simpsons are known for their variations in their intros. I have often wondered how much time and money this goal has cost them in the long term. Sure, it would take yonks to create an individual episode, but not being able to replay the same intro as every other show does, has gotta hurt you at that last minute before release.

Here is one that represents what our reality actually is:

“i dont really see why its amazing. watched the first 20s then skipped bits to find the cool part – never found it.”

reply
“Everything is better with an attention span.”

Superb comedic oratory and perfect timing. What’s with all the nose rubbing though, eh?

“…and she looks at her clipboard”… Cuvée Brut comedy.

Kevin Smith spins a good yarn

Guy bets life savings on blackjack – double or nothing – does he win?

‘Hey-Ya’ cover – converts to beardy guitar ballad nicely

I have held off seeing this one because I was quite sure it was preaching to the converted…

However a nice guilt-free bittorrent download with the blessing of the makers was enough reason for me to take a look:
The Corporation – Legal Bittorrent

Unfortunately, as a cog in various Corporate wheels, the viewing wasn’t so guilt-free. I didn’t think ‘Rotten Tomatoes’ would have total praise for this film. The polemic employed grated with me a bit, so I was surprised to see it with a 90% rating. Kinda agree with one the of the unconvinced critics, who said “Achbar and Abbott would have had a first-rate film had they stuck with their conceit — corporations as inmates running the asylum — but they dilute their case in an attempt to make it irrefutable.”

Damning it is… but persuasive to those who might best benefit from appreciating the perspective put forward by the documentary? I’m not so sure.
