Host Monsters

This is one of the best animated music videos I’ve ever seen. It reminds me of an enviro-themed Aeon Flux. This magnificence was produced by the Waltzing Monkey.

Wrigley Field in a Nutshell

I’ve been there for a game once, many years ago. Wrigley is one of the few ballparks where drinking, hooliganism, and good cheer always outweigh the events of that day’s ballgame.

Loving the Stick and Ignoring the Carrot

Pardon the lack of activity recently. I’m currently adjusting to a sub-human sleep schedule as I try to adjust to the demands of “new media.” Speaking of how we prioritize things and motivate ourselves, here’s a neat piece on some old economist-derived misconceptions.

The Ballad of Prince Adam

Arizona

Yet another reason to root for Los Suns, in the Western Conference Championship.

The Shape of Sound

Looking at this video, I feel like Richarrd Dreyfus from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I feel the need to poke this video with a salad fork and say, “This means something. This is important.”

Will Ferrell is King of All He Surveys

Missouri Stormtroopers Murder Puppies

Missouri police terrorize a family and murder their pets over a “small amount of marijuana.” Your tax dollars at work.

Red Bull in the Face

I don’t drink coffee, much less Red Bull, so, to me, this “Powerthirst” spoof seems to be an effective way to target this demographic.

The Light of Life

Either artist Daihei Shibata has a profound respect for the natural world, or has been binging too much on Spore.
