Rainbows are made from panda vomit

Not sure what Flickr has up its sleeve, but here's a nifty Easter Egg. If you happen to explore the panda category, you'll be greeted with a (happy?) panda with rainbow vomit and photographs spewing out of its mouth.

It's just so bizzare and awesome at the same time, you'll need to view it for yourself.

3D ^ 3

These look pretty cool...it's 3D, but in real 3D. Not your mom's old school red/blue 3D.

evolution

the missing link is a pair of wireframe glasses that are more oblong, but i don't know where they went. the progression totally makes sense though :þ

go speed racer

so i watched speed racer a few days ago, and i have to be completely honest and say that i enjoyed it. of course, i wasn't taking it seriously, and while i was watching it, there were two toddlers running around and screaming, so my attention wasn't focused on the plot or the cheesey acting. however, both of those things are justified when you're remaking an old cartoon. there's a difference between speed racer and the scooby-doo remakes, and that is that speed racer rules.

the impressive thing about the film was the hyper reality of it. cat in the hat on crack. mario kart + fast and the furious mash-up. i loved the color. simple as that. i really liked the wardrobe, the set design, it all fit.

bottom line: awesome, fun visuals. don't take it seriously. cheaters never prosper. rain is so hot.

(note on the poster above: that is the MOST STATIC composition ever, making it the worst ever solution for speed racer. DUMB. however, rain is hot.)

Have your coffee and be a photography nerd too.

How deliciously adorable.

Photoshop Filters

When used sparingly, Photoshop filters can turn normal ho-hum photos into snazzy, awesome works of art.

But what happens when you go overboard and apply every single Photoshop filter on the list, top-down?



Lens flare makes everything better.

giant mural comic

it was nice to wake up and look at such pretty pictures. stuart kolakovic created a 9+ metre-long comic called never been. it's a mural that spands across a wall and requires the viewer to move about to read it. the story is about a small eastern European village community. see the piece in context here, and view the entire thing as an interactive website. i love the illustration style and the textures. try to find the dancing bear.

let's get ready to rumble

i love rootin tootin putin, hahah.
