Paul Graham tells it like it is in What You’ll Wish You’d Known, a speech to high school students. He’s partially right. I think there’s other stuff I would have rather known, but he certainly seems to hit the mark around the center. I couldn’t help wondering how I’d have received this speech when I…

This Low-Rent Rocky Movie is strangely funny in a dopey kind of way. I laughed at several points throughout. I wish I knew if all these bits were set up or if it’s all really a bunch of gorilla theater. I suspect the former, but hope for the latter.

Violence, Porn, Kids Line Dancing … Yep it’s all here in Concrete TV where it’s been crammed together in a bizare series of montage edits where A + B just doesn’t seem to add up to C for some reason. Won’t somebody please think of Sergei Eisenstein rolling in his cutting-room grave? As you may…

It’s a fight to the death when Rock, Paper and Scissors get together. Movie Here.

I can’t get into audio books. I put them on, and within 10 seconds my mind is drifting and I miss everything. I wish I could retain information that way, but I need a visual component or something. I’m much better with reading. I only mention it because I’m wondering if radio plays might be…

La Specola – Art and Wax Modeling Museum features some stunning works. They were cast from carved up cadavers so it has sort of a macabre feel to it. I’m just amazed at how detailed they seem (at least judging from the photos). I’d love to see them in person. That reminds me, I’m running…

Remarkable … Stunning … Gorgeous … I lack superlatives to properly do justice to something like The Beauty Of life. Available in MPEG or DIVX, it’s completely worth the 52 or 32 megabyte download.

This straw art is amazing. I’ve seen some cool things done with paper origami, and I’ve seem some lame things done with balloons. I had NO idea that there were people who were so creative with straws.

Somebody help me out here. Is Japan really into freaky crap like Zentai Woman, or do they just do this stuff to confuse Westerners?* * I know there’s a tremendous amount of ethnocentricity implicit in that question, but I mean come on. Nobody could be genuine about stuff like this could they?

Wow, this video of a drive from Los Angeles to New York is incredible. Definitely worth several looks provided you can handle huge, honkin’ big QuickTime files. via
