Friday Links!
Leading off this week, from DQ reader my wife, a glorious article in the New York Times about director Spike Jonze and the process of making a film adaptation of "Where The Wild Things Are."This link is from Nicest Guy In The World Ben Ormand, and it's not safe for work unless you work in a very cool place. It's called shitmydadsays, and it's a 28-year-old (still living at home) just writing down what his 73-year-old father says. It's both obscene and extremely funny.
From Andrew B, and this is a wonderful idea, it's Save The Words. It's a very, very cool piece of design. Also, a link to the story of James May, who is moving into a house made out of Legos.
From Jason Kerr, and this is a fascinating read, it's a story about augmenting reality via contact lenses.
From Clayton Lee, an Australian Rules Football (awesome game) highlight of one of the greatest marks ever.
From Sirius, and this is one of the funniest images I've seen in a long time, it's the camper bike.
Also, and this is very beautiful, it's the eye of the red-eyed tree frog.
From Adam Schenker, a link to a remarkable artist whose medium is trash (the mask made out of Air Jordans is fantastic).
From David, a link to the disturbing news that DNA evidence can be fabricated.
From the Edwin Garcia Links Machine, it's an 8-story anti-gravity forest facade. Also, and this is a remarkably thorough article, it's Living, Growing Architecture (the ancient vine bridges are particularly interesting).
From Randy Graham, a link to an intense and sometimes disturbing series of images: WWII propaganda posters.
I know I've linked to a version of this before, but the images are so striking that I'm going to do it again: color photographs of pre-revolutionary Russia.
From the Wall Street Journal, a fascinating article about the Collyer Brothers, who are famous, bizarrely enough, for living in indescribable clutter. How much clutter? More than 100 tons of debris in one house.
From Steven Kreuch, and it's incredible: an F-18 Hornet Ultra Low High Speed Fly By. How low? About twenty feet--with a guy standing underneath on the runway. Epic.
