Mr home shopping host can’t think for himself and reads the teleprompter raving about a picture taken using the camera that he’s selling. Pretty sure his pitch only led viewers to think that there’s something wrong with the device (and/or him):

I don’t want to believe this… Director Satoshi Kon has died at age 47
•August 25, 2010 • Leave a CommentI love all of Satoshi Kon’s work. He was a great storyteller and one of my favourite filmmakers. Satoshi Kon definitely had talent and true genius. You will be missed.
Gainax employee Takeda Yasuhiro tweeted the news a short time ago, and it was confirmed by Madhouse’s Masao Maruyama via the Otakon committee.

Homemade ‘Fallout 3’ Replica Rifles by Ryan Palser – these are AWESOME! [DIY]
•August 25, 2010 • Leave a CommentFrak these are awesome; replicas from Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG shooter (one of my favs) Fallout 3!!!
The A3-21 plasma rifle and the AER3 Laser Rifle – The ammunition is still in production, so there’s no chance of killing any wasteland freaks with these babies, but they may provide a good conversation starter to persuade your attackers into running away scared for dear life.
“Built it from scratch, using mostly wood and sheet plastic. It’s an amazing design, and was a great learning experience. Being the first “realistic” prop that I’ve attempted, I’m pretty stoked about the final result.”

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
