Clay Shirky is the author of the book Here Comes Everybody, the basic premise of which is to explore the impact of the internet as a participatory medium on society.  Wordy explanations aside, this is a funny and insightful 15 minute lecture he presented at a recent Web 2.0 Conference in which he explains how [...]

Between this and lolcats, I wouldn’t be surprised if 1/3rd of the internet was filled with cute furry animals.  Videos of animals falling asleep seem to be the new thing.
More sleepy animals after the jump!

And you thought driving a motorcycle was dangerous.
Actually, this is supposed to be (relatively) safe.
What you are seeinghere is the brainchild of one 18-year-old Ben J. Poss Gulak.  You drive it by leaning and the internals determine the speed based on the lean…  It’s also electric!
And despite the name, it really does have 2 wheels…  [...]

Admittedly, I haven’t been a long time Nine Inch Nails fan.  My first album from them was Ghosts I-IV, which they released for free online a little while back.
They’re back at it again, recording and distributing an entire song in one day, for free, online.
The name of the song is Discipline, and you can get [...]

Part of me gets unhealthily excited when a bit of internet culture manifests itself in real life.  Therefore, I think my body would explode if I was able to attend Roflcon.
Seems like Roflcon is a general celebration of Internet Culture, and many meme’s will be present to perform live (whatever that means… I’m not sure [...]

Hi all, Bob here with an update:
I know it’s been a few days since I last wrote anything.  I’ve been terribly busy with a hectic end-of-semester schedule, wrapping up some final loose ends for my classes.  Why, just today I wrote a 12 page paper on the HBO series John Adams in just over 5 [...]

We all know that Salvador Dali was quite the character.  In this positively surreal clip, Dali appears on the classic quiz show “What’s My Line?”  To say hilarity ensues would be an understatment, as this clip is packed with a distorted sense of reality that seems to follow Dali around like a puppy.  (I think [...]

Artist Diddo Velema has a darkly funny and cynical gallery with many of our current Presidential candidates, and some who have recently fallen by the wayside.  I can’t help but reflect on whether or not this is more accurate than half the things we see daily from these guys!  Luckily, I support Ron Paul.

This one hit me by surprise.  Nadeo, a company I have honestly never heard of before, is breaking some ground by offering an entire game for free.  Normally, when you say free game to me, I think of Open Source Quake Clones that can get a bit repetitive after a while (not that there is [...]

Gnarls Barkley, the always creative, genre bending hip hop beast that combines the talents of Cee-Lo Green and Dj Dangermouse, is at it again with a very strange promotion for their new album, The Odd Couple.
Honestly, the only reason I haven’t bought the CD is because I’m protesting the RIAA, but fortunately for me and [...]
