Let them sing it for you
Ever wanted famous people to sing your own words back to you? Well, here is the next best thing:
Let them sing it for you will take written words and sing them for you. Don't believe me?
Listen to this message in song.
Micro Heros
I don't know what o say about this, except that someone had too much time on his hands. Some French guy (maybe he's Canadian), loves American comics and created like a bazillion
Micro Heros. I've only explored a little bit, but it looks like they are organized by publisher, series, and character. So if you ever wanted to see miniature comic book heroes in every possible form, check it out. Bizarre.
Transformers: Break-dancers in disguise
I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. The folks at the
Wilenkin Group have created what is most likely the coolest video of Breakdancing Transformers. It's got some good techno with awesome 3D-renderings of Soundwave getting his dance on. It needs the newest version of flash, but there's never been a better reason to get it. Who knew they could dance?
The GTA San Andreas interview
Oh snap! It's all that and a side of fries. Looks so good makes a grown man cry. And on and on. All I can say is that the new Grand Theft Auto is going to make all of the other games that come out this year look like mincey, little, sissy games. Don't believe me? Read
this interview with Dan Houser. Bigger maps, better AI, better fighting, better driving, and best of all, it's 5 times bigger than Vice City! It's so big that they have no more space on the DVD to put stuff. Grand Theft Auto might not be your thing, but any game that makes fun of your haircut while your toting an uzi is all right by me.

My tiny mind is blown
Talk about some cool optical illusions. Check out
Akiyoshi's illusion pages. There's nothing fancy here, just some good old fashioned optical illusions. But be warned, they will blow your mind. They are completely stationary, but they look like they're moving. I've stared at them for a solid 20 minutes and I can't figure it out, but I can't get enough either. Pure craziness.
Good Idea? Bad Idea?
According to a
Boston Globe article, "A Delaware college student ate a bag of hallucinogenic mushrooms and drove around in a pair of stolen cars before arriving, confused, on a mountain in northwest Connecticut, police said." He stole two cars, one from LaGuardia Airport and one from a Southbery rest stop. He has no idea how many laws he broke, nor what transpired for most of his two-day bender, but he does want to correct his mistakes. I think we've all been there. I remember when I dropped a sheet of Acid and wound up buck-naked in Tijuana covered in Salisbury steak and blind in one eye. But hey, I didn't steal any cars... I don't think... anyway... Two cheers for Delaware, which drives kids to drugs, and two cheers for Connecticut, which is so boring it sobers them up.
