No big themes today, just what I clicked:
The best line in that Kanye West freak-out video is when the cop says, "Kanye West attacked you?!?"
Speaking of that, TMZ also interviewed its own camera man about the incident and it's interesting to hear Harvey Levin openly talking about the decision to show the camera man's face and whether to edit the interview.
Speaking of media transparency, Wired is showing the behind-the-scenes of how a story is produced for the magazine.
Speaking of analyzing news stories, Every Moment Now: Obama vs. McCain - It compares the quantity of news coverage of both candidates over time in a neat little chart. As you click deeper it breaks down the coverage into frequency of word use and other analyses.
Net-talking toaster to burn news onto bread - News on food is the future.
Two guys put on nice clothes and "ride some gravity." - Sickness. Reminiscent of that one we saw recently of the guy with the wheels on his hands and feet. Might be best watched from the middle when they do their second run. The video feels faster.
The Gentleman’s Guide to the Calling Card - I actually do carry calling cards separate from my business cards, but they're pretty boring compared to these. I used to carry blank business cards because it seemed like I was always needing some quick paper to jot a site or e-mail address.
Amazing tattooed pigs - I've heard of tattoo artists using pigs for practice (oranges too) and I've seen the occasional piece of flash on a pig, but this is above and beyond.
The new James Bond (Quantum of Solace) trailer is out.
I scored a 30 at 11:30 p.m. on this color vision test. I'm going to see if I score differently when my eyes are better rested.
Search the popularity of your surname on the world map. Like the Baby Name Voyager but on a map instead of a timeline. See also, NameTrends.
