Kubrick’s Xanadu
Citizen Kubrick is a fascinating look into Stanley Kubrick’s home. He was quite the hoarder, and Jon Ronson spends some time describing the meticulously archived and cataloged documents he found when invited to visit Kubrick’s home. More interesting than that description might sound. Via

Without the Soul for Getting Down
Who knew Legos could be so thrilling? Requires Quicktime. If you don’t have broadband or a LOT of free time, seriously don’t bother.

Until You See The Whites of Their Eyes
Kind of an interesting analysis of Eye Placement in Paintings. It seems to be more uniform than I would have suspected though I can’t speak to the quality of their sample set or their math for that matter.

Hitchhiker Combat(?)
When I saw The Latest Episode of Madness Combat, I thought it was a continuation of this series. Boy is my face red to realize there were two series where simple animations kicked some major league booty.

Ouroboros…
…in which the snake eats its own tail. Sometimes the web is so cool and connected. A while ago, I posted an entry about the History of the Universe in 200 Words or Less. Tonight, Eric Schulman dropped by that entry to answer one of my questions, and let me know that he had revised…
