Awesome Giant Coin Mural [time-lapse]
•August 22, 2010 • Leave a Comment“Obsessions Make My Life Worse and My Work Better.” Agreed.
Apparently, this installation took place in Amsterdam in 2008, but I’m just finding out about it now. Incredible, no? 250.000 euro coins went into it. The time-lapse video is pretty impressive, and if you’d like to know more, the whole project was documented pretty well: Flickr
Over the course of 8 days, and with the help of over 100 volunteers, the coins were sorted into 4 different shades and carefully placed over a 300 sqm area. After completion the coins were left free and unguarded for the public to interact with.
The Seattle Gum Wall
•August 20, 2010 • Leave a CommentThis is the most disgusting tourist (trap) attraction in the world me thinks – not keen to see this one up close:
One of the most offbeat attractions in the United States, the Seattle Gum Wall
Located in Post Alley, under Park Place Market, the Gum Wall has its beginning in the early 1990s, when people, irritated that they had to wait in line to get tickets to the theater, stuck chewing gum on the wall. At first, they would use the gum to stick small coins to the wall, but in time, the tradition of the coins disappeared, and the gum remained.
Theater attendants scraped the Gum Wall twice, but gave up in 1999, when it became a certified tourist attraction of Seattle. Now it is filled with thousands of pieces of chewing gum, of any color imaginable. And, as the wall grows, the chewing gum art becomes more sophisticated. You’ll find names written with pieces of gum, and symbols like hearts or the peace sign.” – Spooky

“Although auction sites like eBay and Yahoo Japan are becoming increasingly fertile hunting grounds for treasures from the video game past, there is nothing that beats walking into a retro video game shop.” – donkeykong
Wait, are these PAL or NTSC?
Question: Does anyone else out there get, I don’t know, jealous/depressed/weird when you see a photo of someone you know, happy with someone you don’t know? Wishing you had what they have?

This always manages to cheer me up. Here’s one of my favourite songs and claymations of all time: ‘Nina Simone – My Baby Just Cares For Me’ a 1987 stop-motion claymation directed by Peter Lord, co-founder (1976) of Aardman Animations, famous for bringing the world Wallace & Gromit – Enjoy:
