This noise is all kinds of epic.

Holy Moses this site is awesome! The associated blog is also worth looking at.

They seem to focus predominantly on publishing short form documentary-type pieces. They're all very well polished and presented. The content is usually well researched and completely engrossing.

This is a pretty good example of why I love this goddamn site.

The only problem is the trust accounting paper I have due next week.

And in other news...

At least throw it like you mean it.

Cool starry, bra.

We will look back and scold ourselves for calling them paranoid.

ROOKIE: Now I'd like to ask you some questions about X.

ASSANGE: I don't want to talk about X. That's not why I agreed to participate in this interview.

ROOKIE: Alright, I understand and really, there is a lot more about you and your work that I'm sure everyone wants to hear about.

ASSANGE: Great, I'm glad we can move on.

ROOKIE: So tell me more about X.

Also, did he or did he not just pronounce it as 'mantable' ?

This had to be staged. It's too perfect.

[EDIT]: Come to think of it, this seems more like sneaky viral advertising than anything else...

Free speech is not a marketing plan. Free speech is only any good if you take advantage of its invitation. So I say this to you, my video game maker brethren: say something. Say it like you mean it.

Cool little stop motion advertisement.

Gaz Metro A Natural Evolution from La Moustache on Vimeo.

Although I'll be honest, I'm having a hard time drawing a connection between scribbling in chalk on a building and what appears to be the promotion of some kind of 'clean/[generic hippy buzzword]/responsible' energy agenda.

[EDIT]

I get it now. If you your energy is provided by this company, you may notice that you can scribble chalk over the exterior of buildings at night. This is useful for those who are in the business of making quaint little adds in stop motion for power companies.

So at the end of the day, this is an ad for the company that did the ad for the power company.

I change my mind; I resent this ad.

Consequently, though once this entry was filed simply under 'ART', it now also answers to 'RANT'.

Too quiet.

Shit! What's that?

SENTRY 2:

Whats what?

SENTRY 1:

There, at the edge of the clearing, in the trees. See it?

SENTRY 2:

It's just the wind.

SENTRY 1:

No I don't think so.

[The wind abates, yet the trees continue to jostle as a great weight shifts within]

SENTRY 2:

Oh God! They're here! They've come for him!

I've been following CreatureCast for a while now, and I rekkon they've done an awesome job at making the topic of marine biology accessible and engaging for those without a background in science.

I love these guys.
