Jelly fish Saturday
- At Ironic Sans, a roundup of terrorist organization logos.
- The loudness war — how record companies are ruining your music (true, even if the example is a bit exaggerated).
- Photo above is from the Black Sea. More here.
- Top 10 strangest deaths.
- New, minimalist Coke can, and the history of Coke cans.
- The pretty fucking impressive sculpture of Kris Kuksi.
- Blah: nature photos. these are from the Smithsonian, and not too bad.
- Charlie Vandergaw is a dude who enjoys hanging out with bears. Hopefully he won’t get eaten like the dude in that Herzog film.
- Segovia tears it up.
- Photos from Pakistan, 2004.
- Apparently American Express jacked this photo from flickr.
- “When Dateline NBC recently asked children to choose between a banana and a rock with a Scooby-Doo sticker on it for breakfast, nearly all chose the rock.” Great moments in product placement.
- Some idiot cheats on Price-is-Right.
- Denis Darzacq’s falling photos.
- Schadenfreude is a German word meaning ‘pleasure taken from someone else’s misfortune’.
- Photos from inside a McDonald’s factory in Moscow.
- I’ve had this tab open in my browser for weeks, and since I can’t seem to bring myself to read it, I think everyone else should read it instead: The Stylistic Artistry of the Declaration of Independence.
- Reversal ring? We don’t need no stinkin’ reversal ring: how to turn a regular camera lens into a microscope on the cheap.
- ‘Bush Lied, They Died’ t-shirt banned in three states.
- Nude LP Covers. Where’s the Blind Faith cover?
- Here is a decent optical illusion. If you stare at the + in the middle, first the moving dot will turn green. Then all the purple dots will disappear, leaving only a moving green dot. “Proof enough, perhaps, that we do not see always what we think we see.”
- BrianBrown’s photostream.
- We build tunnels through things.
- Rare deleted scenes from Shawshank Redemption. “2 not so good deleted scenes from the classic Shawshank Redemption. Rare scenes are from an old VHS taping of a Showtime cable special in 1995, and never seen again. Not in the DVD, because Frank Darabont had regrets about showing these. Both scenes feature Morgan Freeman.”
- The wonderful objects of pan-dan.
- Thomas Pynchon: essay about, literature map, random page from Gravity’s Rainbow, Against the Day deathmarch.
