The Army Man Project by Mike Hunter: Tilt-shift photography of real scenes, with real people standing on toy soldier-like plastic bases.
“ Officially this man isn’t Banksy. But unofficially, he’s so Banksy I want to slice off his face and put it on eBay. ”— The first interview with the world's most elusive artist

Magnetic Movie: The secret lives of invisible magnetic fields at NASA's Space Sciences Laboratories. So awesome. (Narrated by the scientists, animation by Semiconductor, via The Filter)
“ If there is hope for the world, it lies in cities. ”— Felix Salmon: The Urbanist Party
“ If you’re reading this, the chances are that you live in a large and vibrant city whose local politics are controlled and stifled by unresponsive and uncreative national parties who have approximately zero interest in urban issues.— Felix Salmon: The Urbanist Party
Most political parties are founded on the basis of some common bond, be it the trade union movement or the church. And most of those common bonds are increasingly irrelevant today, especially to city-dwellers. Instead, a new set of political desires has started to arise, one which simply doesn’t mesh with any parties on the left-right spectrum.
The core of the urban constituency finds itself in opposition to the nostalgic tales spun by both the left (which would love to recreate the job security of the 1950s) and the right (which would recreate the nuclear families of the 1950s). ”
Next big thing: Rooftop ads
Random thought: I bet the prevalence of satellite/aerial photos in mapping apps (especially as they spread to ever more mobile devices) will lead to more ads and signs on rooftops. Why would a store/bar/other commercial venue NOT want to paint a bright red logo on its roof?
I'd totally go into that business if I was a painter.

Mootools Mocha UI
A web applications user interface library built on the Mootools javascript framework. Canvas tag graphics are used for much of the GUI components.LaunchSplash
It's a web service for these cliche web 2.0 splash pages ("sign up to be notified when we launch"). I can't decide whether this is pure genius or a horribly silly idea.Real DJs Code Live
LONDON -- Some DJs spin vinyl or twiddle fader knobs. Others write subroutines in C++.Doing some research on my new commute: These seem to be my three widely divergent, yet equally time-consuming options for public transportation, clocking in at 30-35 minutes each.
Still investigating potentially more direct bike routes.

Incidentally, that is exactly what this map I made (manually, by guessing) two years ago estimated.
