Tired of playing Bejeweled, Texas Hold 'Em or... BOWLING on your cellphone?Then download SCRABBLE Blast! NOW! I heard about this from Rachel. It's a variation on the board game where you create words from adjoining tiles.I play it all the time. You can play an online version, but then you don't get the joy of whipping out your cellpone and playing in a crowded train. I'm talking cellphone here!

Motion graphics designer Jarratt Moody recreated Samuel Jackson's great "What does Marcellus Wallace look like?" scene from Pulp Fiction using only moving typography with the audio track. Very well done.And here's the original scene from the movie:And it's Pulp Fiction, so you know...NSFW! What?! NOT SAFE FOR WORK! So lower the volume.

2007-03-14T15:14:00.000-04:00

Not the Magnum P.I. but the numerical constant Pi.Math is used to derive at an exact, definitive number. But Pi uses math as proof of infinity. Commemorate the simple, infinite wonders of Pi by renting Pi: The Motion Picture, or eating a slice of coconut cream Pi or share a large pizza Pi, or any other kind of Pi you can sink your teeth into

Drunken Jedi Master

This guy is so graceful.This is the original, longer version before someone added the light saber effects. It's amazing that he didn't have a heart attack with all that flailing. Apparently the guy was traumatized when this was leaked onto the web. But it makes me so happy.

This new commercial for Pedigree Adoption Drive has got to be one of the saddest commercials ever.It's even sadder than those big eyed puppy dog paintings from the 60s.David Duchovny is the voice of the puppies behind bars.It's so heart breaking. Damn it. He just wants to go home. Must save dogs. Now.

3-D Street Art

2007-01-25T17:08:00.000-05:00

I'm sure you've seen these 3-D pastel street drawings floating around the web before but they never fail to amaze me. I've seen plenty of street artist recreating old master's paintings or renderings of John Lennon but I love how artist Julian Beever added the element of 3-D.I feel like I'm getting Mind F*cked.
