Jonny sent over a link to a remarkable bit of graffiti stop-frame animation today - check out the video here.
An ambiguous animation painted on public walls. Made in Buenos Aires and in baden (fantoche).
I had to share… that’s just amazing, I can’t imagine how long it must have taken to complete.

If you’re a Twitter user, you might be interested in a site I happened across today - Who Should I Follow?
You put in your username (just the username, mind - it doesn’t ask you for your password or any such nonsense) and it has a think, then suggests other twitter users that you might like to follow.
I’ve been on Twitter for a little while now and have enjoyed it, but it’s much better when you are following a fair few people so that the updates come thick and fast. On that note, I’ve been using Spaz.AIR as my desktop twitter client as of this week and I’m impressed so far. It’s built upon the Adobe AIR platform, which you can find out more about here if you’d like.
Oh and of course, if you are a twitterer - you can always follow me if you’d like, by visiting my profile.

I was a big fan of South Park back in the day, but lost touch with it for a while. It came back to my attention when Jessi insisted I watch an episode from the latest season (12) called “Canada On Strike”. She was right to insist, I was in hysterics the whole way through - absolutely storming stuff.
So I was having a bit of a blog-about today, as I’ve taken to calling the practice of following people’s blogrolls around to find new reading material, and came across a link from Sean Klassen’s blog (awesome design, too) to South Park Studios.
It’s an official site which lets you watch clips from the show but also Full Episodes online. Or at least, it does if you’re in the US (and maybe Canada… I can’t be sure) - due to contractual obligations, at the moment you can’t view the episodes in England. While this was disappointing (as we have no way at all of watching full episodes of South Park online…) one thing that softened the blow was the way I was informed of this fact - check it out:

That’s pretty funny.

Sounds like a mental thing to be saying, but there are some crazy (in the positive sense of the word, of course) people in this blogging world. Upstart Blogger found April to be a tough month due to some technical difficulties and as a result, is offering a free Macbook Air to one lucky person who links to the site. There are also five free iPhones up for grabs, with details coming soon.
If you’ve got a blog (or any other home on the web), you might as well have a go and link to the site - you’re reading the evidence that I’ve had a go!

Can’t say I find myself in a library often these days, many believe I was put off after finding out my department at University was called “Department of Library Studies” until a couple of years before I attended. (It changed to the Department of Information Science, if you were wondering. Sneaky, huh.)
However, turns out that some of these book-wielding buildings actually look really cool inside. Granted, I nearly clicked away from the web site that presented me with this insight (another stumble…) after it’s title was “Hot Library Smut”. Thankfully the first paragraph reassured me and I scrolled down to see the impressive interiors of the BNF in Paris and the British Library, amongst others.
