Melting Ice in LA?

Starting today, and on Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th, Allan Kaprow and Friends will be constructing about twenty rectangular enclosures of ice blocks (measuring about 30 feet long, 10 wide and 8 high) throughout the city.  Their walls are unbroken.  They are left to melt.

For a location near you, check out the exhibit site:

Burning Man 2007

Picture_1

Just got back from Black Rock City, it was quite an eventful year: copious dust storms, a lunar eclipse, arson, a suicide, 'splosions and one amazing double rainbow. Felt like the town got a little too close for comfort the weekend of the burn, topping out at 47,097 participants. But you can't deny that it's still the most creative summer's end hoedown in the world.

70's Style: The Longest "Running" Joke

Picture_2
The good news: Nike has re-released their classic running shoe designs from the 70's. The bad news: they're only available in the faux-aged, pre-worn variety. The Nike Vintage site is amusing though.

EAGLE vs. SHARK

Picture1_2
The attention to flash animation detail on the new EAGLE vs. SHARK movie site is really exceptional. The content is pretty kick-ass too: like the Kick-Ass Collage, and the Killer Soundboard. I get the feeling this film is the Kiwi equivalent of Napoleon Dynamite. If EAGLE vs. SHARK is half as entertaining as it's site then we're in for a nerd-loving chucklefest.

Under the name FurryCarlos Productions,Trey Parker and Matt Stone (South Park) have brought to life the teachings of philosopher Alan Watts in 3 short animations. My favorite is Prickles and Goo but the other two shorts have their merits as well.
