Pulled out of a lake near a nuclear power plant in Argentina, fishermen in the area are now leery of the lake…with good reason. That’s great and all, but what does it taste like?
Squiggly Light Paintings
•October 29, 2011 • Leave a CommentThese awesome light paintings drawn by Brian Matthew Hart in collaboration with Dena Pickering, have created quite the photogenic technique of squiggly lines:
Laying on the couch – apartment light drawing – 17min drawing
Absurdist portrait of dena with umbrella and bike – 12.5min drawing
Dena lying languidly while I stand with lamp – 12min drawing
What I don’t understand is, if these only take a few minutes to create then why aren’t there more? These are cool Dena and Brian, don’t stop there!
Shoe Box Super Mario Bros. [DIY]
•October 29, 2011 • Leave a CommentIt’s basically like a more advanced, real life version of LittleBig Planet’s level creator, only much cooler because you can actually hold the thing:
Using a Teagueduino (“an open source electronic board and interface that allows you to realize creative ideas without soldering or knowing how to code, while teaching you the ropes of programming and embedded development (like arduino”) and a few inputs and outputs, we put together a physical side-scrolling video game.
To control it, there’s a knob on the side. As time advances the game gets faster and faster — can you avoid all the obstacles and make it to the end?
Holy Smoke Batman!

Don’t Swallow [NSFW…ish]
•October 25, 2011 • Leave a CommentThe most awkward moment in game show history. The category? Things that you put in your mouth but don’t swallow. The outcome (pun not intended) says a lot about the show’s researchers. How could they not expect someone to think this:
Cringeworthy. I think the woman should have really considered her answer, given the show’s sensibilities, but I blame the host for making this worse than it actually was. And also diluting the humor somewhat. AND the stations editors for broadcasting. Sheesh. I love it!
VOTE PAULA GILLON [street art]
•October 24, 2011 • Leave a CommentNo need hiding that secret identity now; Paula has a knack for helping her community:
Labour’s candidate for the Northcote Electorate, Paula Gillon.
I hope you are all registered to vote in this year’s general election and referendum held November 26th (good date) Personally I’d rather not disclose my political standpoints (I’d love to discuss my father’s though, his name has cropped up on a few infamous government lists in the past hehe) but I think the Labour Party has a good billboard campaign going for them. I haven’t even noticed the other signs, drawn to the minimalistic and dominant red design of Labour’s signposts.
On a relevant note; vandalism is distasteful and NOT OK. Good sense of humour though Paula. I also feel obliged to point out that me and “Batman” are related. Cool huh 😀
In 2001 Paula became New Zealand’s youngest ever elected City Councillor and represented the Harbour Ward in North Shore City.
During her three years as an elected City Councillor she was appointed as a Council representative to the Birkenhead Northcote Community Board as well as the Glenfield Community Board.
Best Engagement Pictures Ever
•October 23, 2011 • 1 CommentJuliana and Ben’s friend and photographer Amanda Rynda helped them pull off what has to be one of the best sets of engagement photos; really sets a mood of love:
Love and marriage are beautiful things. A luxury two people work towards achieving and of course you’d want to make the most of and capture every special moment there is to be had, which is why I think we can all agree, these two lovebirds have taken the best engagement pictures ever:

This Thai Gamer ‘Is’ Ghost Squad
•October 16, 2011 • Leave a CommentI tend not to muck around with my shooters, aiming for the highly skilled one shot kills, but this guy takes arcade rail-shooters to a-whole-nother level, acting out every bit of the action in front of the screen:
I’ve seen this behavior before, he’s totally living with First-Person Shooter Disease.
SLACKLINING
•October 14, 2011 • Leave a CommentThere is always an element of danger (and injury) in all these new-wave action sports, which is often their mark of appeal. Not to mention, this looks fun:
If you put breakdancing, gymnastics, a trampoline and tightrope walking all in a blender, something similar to slacklining would probably be the result.
Live-Action ‘TOY STORY’

It’s crazy that no one had thought of this before, or rather, diligently executed a shot-for-shot remake as well as this young lad here:
