Wow. “600 Years” is a 6 centuries of Prague history condensed into one fantastic 10-minute animation that was projected and mapped to the facade of the IAC building in Prague. Watch with amazement.

People who shun new technologies will be viewed as passive-aggressive control freaks trying to rope people into their world, much like vegetarian teenage girls in the early 1980s

I’m sick of their crazy stuff and I’m not letting them get away with it in my presence any longer. I’ve got Obama’s back.

Color, Photos, and One Fuzzy Little Boy in a Field
Beautiful photo, well-written observations from Merlin:

A lot of the color photos I’ve seen from before the 1950s strike me as stiff, over-worked, or so experimental as to be a “Hello, World.” They’re cool from a technical standpoint, but they often don’t tell you any more about the subject than a well-produced monochrome image would.
Given the costliness of the film and the complexity of the process, it’s easy to understand why early color photographers had to be choosy about picking the subjects and conditions that their camera could capture well (rather than, as is ideally the case, working the other way around).
But, sometimes, an old color photo brings a distant image to life and produces something kind of special. The best ones make their subjects and their surroundings seem far more real and intimate.

Cute little animation, in a similar style to Plymptoons, from Birdbox Studio, on BBC Comedy.

Wonderful. And, apparently, all it takes to set me off on my semi-annual “Crazy” kick.
If it’s been a while since you’ve toured Gnarls Barkley’s diverse gallery of personas, you really should treat yourself.
