\nSeahorses<\/a>
\nOne of the many amazing creatures featured in this photo gallery website dedicated to seahorses.
\nSwanksigns<\/a>
\nA collection of funny public signs, a hobby we have all enjoyed at one time.
\nPacer<\/a>
\nThis is a sweet ad for a sweet car.
\nThe Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou<\/a>
\nPossibly the most exciting link this week: Wes Anderson (Rushmore<\/i>, Royal Tennenbaums<\/i>) has a new movie. It stars Bill Murray. Seeing as Rushmore is one of my top ten, that I just watched Le Grande Blue (a film about diving) this could prove to be a great film for me, as long as it doesn’t repeat itself too much, or try to be over-kitschy-yet-faux-sincere-and-kinda-free-floating like Tennenbaums was.
\nCamp Jeep<\/a>
\nA Hummer shows up at a Jeep rally, gets high-centred, needs towing from a Jeep owner.
\nMaohai<\/a>
\nA recording artist\/actor with a LOT of body hair. Strange.
\nYou have bad taste in music<\/a>
\nThis guy goes around to concerts with a bullhorn encouraging people to stop listening to [insert pop artist here]. Watch the Justin Timberlake \/ Christina… video, then watch the Linkin Park one. Kinda funny, kinda sad.
\nGenghis Khan got it on<\/a>
\nThe Wilt Chamberlain of medieval Asia: “It means around 8% of the population of the historical Mongol empire share a common male ancestor: Genghis Khan or his immediate ancestors.”
\nAerial photography<\/a>
\nI saw an large-scale exhibit<\/a> of this photographer’s work (is it Yann Bertrand?) outside the national theatre in Amsterdam last year and am delighted to find these shots of his incredible aerial photography online.
\nThe guy who does the Google logo holiday variations<\/a>
\nComic: Other People’s Stories: Deadlock<\/a>
\nAn excellent episode detailing the paradox of seeing a film you loathe with a girl you desire. Complex mathematics and neurosis; this episode is unique in that its main character is based on the real-life guy who did Fleep<\/a>.
\n“Vintage” iPod, Gameboy, etc. ads<\/a>
\nLearn how to tie a tie<\/a>
\nI never knew the differences, or the intended purposes (such as expressing confidence or for work, or for show), between a Windsor, Half-Windsor, etc. Includes excellent diagrams and descriptions.
\nEvery beer can from like every country<\/a>
\nJenny Holzer’s new work<\/a>
\nStudied her provacative and undermining public billboard work in school. She has a new exhibit of more than 30 former National Security Archive secret documents, projected in monumental size on public buildings.
\nBill Morrison, The Balloon Man<\/a>
\nAppearently this guy had a public-access cable TV show (in the 70’s?), and this video is like a trailer for a film about him.
\nSanto Gold<\/a>
\nBizzarest of the infomercials? This site, which catalogues such things, would know.
\nWhite House West<\/a>
\nA public campaign parody commercial with Will Ferrell.
\nBen Katchor<\/a>
\nInteresting and well-written comic strips.
