Minas Tirith was always the better Minas. Not because good is better than evil which can actually be debated, and not because it looks cooler, which can also be argued against. But because it’s the capital of Gondor, dude! And you can’t dispute that. For the 3 of you that don’t know what I’m talking… (read more)
You’re sitting in your seat, just as calmly as you please when you stop to take some video out the window. And when you look at the footage you rub your eyes trying to make sense of the turbine blades that seem to be melting away from the propeller housing. You wish they would just … (read more)
San Francisco’s Pier 14 has been playing host to a series of sculptures fresh off the Playa. Through Sept 2011 down by the water is The Raygun Gothic Rocketship, a 25 foot tall creation by Raygun labs and commissioned by the Black Rock Arts Foundation. For more shots of the Raygun Gothic Rocketship, or to… (read more)
While not quite the same as a 3-year-long exposure photo, a video that documents a two-and-a-half-year building project shortened down to 30 seconds is pretty amazing.

Keith Thompson has a rare form of imagination, a rushing floodgate of fleshy, organic macabre—formidable, you might say, acting on you like a psychotropic drug bringing on subtle yet terrifying changes in your emotional state. His illustrations are scenes of war, pestilence, violence and decay each rendered with such a loving skill you might be… (read more)
Stop-motion animations are more elaborate than ever, each new artist upping the ante for those to come after. That being said, there’s some fantastic videos around nowadays that are taking the art form in new directions, for the benefit of all of us. Taking cues from Blu and other sto-mo masters comes another group fine-tuning… (read more)
A week ago on my blog, I posted my pledge to go one week without Google. It was inspired, in part, by the Google/Verizon proposal for the future of high speed and wireless internet that was devised in closed-door meetings, in secret, while the same discussions were being had with the FCC and other major… (read more)
I love Grinderman. They’re raunchy, they’re unapologetic, they’re out for pussy and completely willing to have a masturbating monkey as their debut album cover. Of course, Grinderman is not Nick Cave no matter what the people say, though it’d be impossible to remove his musical sensibilities from the Grinderman aesthetic. He is there in every… (read more)
