Normally on Pi Day (3/14), I tend to get a fair amount of traffic to this site. A link to an old Flash project of mine gets passed around, and lots of folks tend to come by for a visit. About 8 years ago, I made a Flash experiment called pi10k, where people can assign…
Via BoingBoing, this is a pretty impressive Rube Goldberg Machine, built by the band OK Go for their music video This Too Shall Pass. I’m a big fan of these types of machines (and even got a great book from Justin about Rube Goldberg’s life and art, over the holidays). In an earlier apartment, I…
This is absolutely hysterical. I’ve been laughing non-stop, ever since I found out about Rock Sugar, a metal band that’s been shipwrecked on an island since 1989. During that time, all they had to listen to was the 80’s pop CD collection of a 13 year old girl. They’ve been rescued, they’re back… and they’re…

Over my vacation, as I was working on the computer… I was listening to a lot of Rilo Kiley (Official Site | Wikipedia). I’m not sure who originally turned me on to them (I think it was either TJ or Masha). But I was looping the crap out of their “More Adventures” album, and really…
I came across this great MetaFilter post about a recent cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” It’s done by four Norwegians (I think): Kurt Nilsen, Espen Lind, Askil Holm and Alejandro Fuentes. Their voices are amazing, and some really great moments (I like Fuentes’ voice a great deal, and Nilsen’s crescendo when he kicks it up…
