Many of these super slow motion movies are quite entertaining, moreso than the standard milk-drop and bullet-through-apple ones. My favorite is the bursting water balloon…the water retains its shape for several moments before giving into gravity. So cool.
Fascinating and disturbing realistic drawings of Mario and Luigi. Some things you can’t unsee. (via alice)
Cool video by the British group Hexstatic for a song called Distorted Minds. It’s almost audiovisual hypertext.
The NY Times has photos and video from Hurricane Katrina.
Clive fills us in on Greg Gillespie’s belt buckle knife. Don’t miss the video…it’s pretty damn funny.

Jason is gainfully employed again. After 4 months of contracting and sitting around on my ass, I finally found a full-time job. I’m going to be a Web designer at a small ad firm in Mpls. called Kuester Partners. I’m pretty excited…it should be fun and challenging and all that good stuff. Wish me luck.
