Friday, March 12th, 2010In 1951, the French Village of Pont-Saint-Esprit was struck with a mysterious case of chaotic insanity when inhabitants mysteriously suffered from intense hallucinations leaving many institutionalized and 5 dead.
One man tried to drown himself, screaming that his belly was being eaten by snakes. An 11-year-old tried to strangle his grandmother. Another [...]
Darth Vader To Celebrate Earth Hour – Join The Dark Side!
Friday, March 12th, 2010These ads for this year’s Earth Hour (March 27th) are so unbelievably fantastic. Look at all those happy animals! And Vader’s butterfly headband! Almost makes you want to join the Dark Side, doesn’t it? Don’t worry, if you’re not ready for a commitment to the Dark Lord of the Sith, you can stick with Earth [...]
8-Bit NYC
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010Tired of NYC? Maybe it’s time to look at it in a different way.
Ahhhhh, how refreshing! Brett Camper created the 8-Bit NYC map using “a custom rendering engine, with help from several excellent open source software and data packages.” Why? I believe the more appropriate question would be “why not?”.
Learn more about Brett and his [...]
Street Playmobil Heads
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Beautiful people, beautiful language and street Playmobil. I guess it’s time for me to move to Rio!

Tokyo/Glow
Monday, March 1st, 2010Wow, I just melted a little. Let’s just say I know something is good when it includes four things that I love and adore: time-lapse, stop motion, Tokyo and bioluminescence. What I would do to be bioluminescent… Maybe it’s time to donate myself to science so they can make me glow like a shrimp or [...]
Tilt-Shifted New York City
Sunday, February 28th, 2010Having woken up this morning in Brooklyn, I’m feeling especially nostalgic when it comes to New York City. And I don’t mean those fond memories of how Penn Station stunk of guido puke last night or how I witnessed someone literally punch a subway (no, not a sandwich) in a drunken stupor, but rather that [...]
Oh, Shit – Dubai Mall Aquarium Is Leaking
Friday, February 26th, 2010Dubai is under water. Well, its mall is, which shouldn’t have been much of a surprise considering it houses a 2 million gallon aquarium that was home to 33,000 different creatures including a whole bunch of sharks, and just so happened to have sprung an epic leak. I imagine the shoppers and vendors aren’t too [...]
Tokyo Sky Tree Construction Time-Lapse
Friday, February 26th, 2010Because time-lapses are always entertaining.
So the Tokyo Sky Tree is a broadcasting tower that is currently under construction and is set to be completed by December 2011. They still have a long way to go considering the Tokyo Sky Tree will be 2,080 ft tall/the tallest structure in Japan, but I’d say they were off [...]
Tiny Jerboa – No, You’re Not Hallucinating
Thursday, February 25th, 2010Holy freakin’ mother of God, this little creature looks like something I’d see in a fever dream after playing way too much Q*bert. I can’t tell if it’s totally adorable or absolutely horrifying. For the record, this is a pygmy jerboa, which meant nothing to me at first since I have never seen a jerboa [...]
Kirsten Dunst Is Turning Japanese (God Help Us All)
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010Honoring my philosophy of “if I have to watch it then so do you”, here’s some weird ass video staring Kirsten Dunst and directed by the three lettered, double syllable McG. Don’t get me wrong, I happen to be one of the few bloggers that enjoys Kirsten Dunst (or rather, is not bothered by her) [...]
That Train Scene You Always Wanted To See Happen (And Successfully)
Monday, February 22nd, 2010Movies know a thing or two about building suspense and thrill with a good ol’ train dodge, but does that stuff happen in real life? Yes. Well at least it does in Argentina.
Stalling out in the middle of the train tracks is a situation best prevented by observing the “hey, look, there’s a [...]
Unsolicited Mall Exorcism
Friday, February 12th, 2010In today’s batshit crazy news, one young woman has claimed to be victim of a forced and unsolicited exorcism.
In a mall.
We’re strolling through a shopping mall, minding our own business, when we’re suddenly pounced on by a Taoist priest telling us that we’re possessed by an evil ghost who is hell-bent on killing us within [...]
Robot Underpants Invasion!!!
Thursday, February 11th, 2010I can’t decide if this video/commercial is funny or absolutely terrifying. So let’s break it down.
In general I would deem underpants as funny. Say it: underpants. Did you giggle? I totally did.
So far, the commercial is funny.
In general I would say that robots aren’t funny. I mean, there’s always an exception (i.e. Bender) but a [...]
We Love XKCD, We Love The Internet
Monday, February 8th, 2010XKCD, being the awesomest, simplest comic, strip-ified Discovery Channel’s “Boom-De-Yadda” commercial and it is adorable. Even more adorable, Olga Nunes videofied the stripified XKCD Discovery Channel commercial into one world-loving geek fest explosion featuring the likes of Neil Gaiman and Wil Wheaton to MC Frontalot and Mr. Toast (and a whole lot of bloggers and [...]
Moonbow!!!
Monday, February 8th, 2010We can thank the sun for its hand in rainbows, but this fancy arch of a color spectrum is a luminous product of the moon, stretching across the volcanic Haleakala crater on Maui Island, Hawaii. I wonder how our favorite conspiracy theorist would feel about this?
She’ll probably blame it on Obama and the Russians.

Tokyo Sky Drive
Friday, February 5th, 2010Hello shiny mirror effect! This is the kind of video I would have playing on my walls in my future house of the future-y future, where every morning I sit inside a humidifying machine that also applies my Pris makeup and inserts a thimble radio into my ear. Man, this cold, bleak and sterile future [...]
Godiva Chocolate Shop In Tokyo
Monday, February 1st, 2010Dear friends,
I have yet another reason to travel to the Harajuku district of Tokyo without dressing up like a toy store exploded in my closet in the hopes of being discovered and therefore being adopted as Gwen Stefani’s best friend. Best friend, accessory, it’s all the same. Anyway, this Godiva shop is literally dripping with [...]
Cannibalistic Pudding
Friday, January 22nd, 2010Wait, isn’t that how mad cow disease started? To be fair, this pudding sure does look really exciting. I would probably eat myself too. But hey, that’s probably why I’m not pudding.
Giga Pudding is available from Japan’s Amazon for about $28.00. Just make sure you eat it before it eats itself.

Tee Time For Haiti Relief
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010“Men anpil chay pa lou”
(Translation: “Many Hands Make the Load Lighter”)
We and some friends of ours have come together to support sending relief to Haiti. We’re donating 100% of proceeds of the sale of “Many Hands Make the Load Lighter” to the American Red Cross (up to $100,000).
We reached out to Haiti’s neighbors and asked [...]
An Image To Promote Anxiety
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010Ever have that feeling of darkness and danger looming over you? I bet these guys do. And they’re not even in a shady alley. To be fair, they’re scientists that went to get a quick peek at all that molten lava of the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii for a mere 6 seconds before they were [...]
