TV. It's The New Movie. Hmm...


Showrunners is a documentary about how TV shows are fast becoming more highly produced, better written and way more conceptual than most movies are these days. 

Craziest Marriage Proposal Ever. Hmm...

Guitar Oscillations Captured With An iPhone 4. Hmm...


So this was accidentally discovered when testing what the view would be like from inside a guitar. Apparently the iPhone 4 camera uses a rolling shutter that scans each frame in lines, one after the other, so one side of the image is taken before the other. The guitar strings move so fast that they are in a new position as each scan line is captured, creating the wavy effect. Kinda makes me feel like a kitten staring at shiny keys or something. 

Tesco's Zero Footprint Supermarket. Hmm...


A brilliantly simple idea that could change how we shop.

Up All Night: The New Blink 182! Hmm...

Pencil Shaving Art. Hmm...





















 
Kyle Bean has, one could say, a strong waste not, want not art ethic. You may remember him from his "chickens made from egg shells" project from a few months ago. His latest idea is turning pencil shavings into portraits for the contributors page of Wallpaper*‘s 2011 Handmade issue. Pretty rad.

Being Sick In Bed Feels A Lot Like This. Hmm...

Right now I'm just hanging out waiting for things to miraculously get better.

One More Month! Hmm...

Why You Should Never Give A Chimpanzee An AK-47. Hmm...


Believe it or not, this is a viral for the new Planet of the Apes movie. It already has 8 million views on YouTube. And it doesn't mention the movie ever. Awesome.
