Turns out Danger Mouse was the one responsible for the music side of Banksy’s Paris Hilton prank. That explains why I thought the track was catchy despite being really long.

Jesus H. Christ, Houston… The Onion’s classic bit of Moon landing audio mashed up with real Moon landing footage. Seriously fucking transcendent.

This is just another reason why I [heart] Banksy.

Naturally somebody has dug up shots of the packaging for Banksy’s Paris Hilton prank.

40 minutes of the same monotonous beat and an occasional vapid comment from Ms. Hilton. I’d say the joke goes on too long – but perhaps that a subtle bit of commentary.

Wouldn’t you know it… There’s video on YouTube of the CDs being “drop lifted” into stores.

This makes me wish that I could play guitar.

Wonderfully tongue in cheek anti-Borat site.

A clever, funny, Oscar nominated short film by Sean Ellis that’s apparently been turned into a feature. If you’re offended by tastefully shot naked bits of the female anatomy, you might want to not watch this.

Naked & Angry have gone from making ties to wallpaper. This is my favorite of the new series.

I really need to remember to get this configured and make sure it’s running when the next BarCamp happens in Los Angeles.

Sweet hosted URL shortening script. I might have to install and implement this at work.

“Sure, it’s an hour from my day job and right next to a stinky canal and a power station, but that’s the whole charm — it keeps the yuppies out.”

“Gelato shops – which offer a cream-free form of ice cream — are the new hubs of neo-Italian excitement, pushing a neighborhood from middle to upper class.”

“Everyone wants to talk about gentrification — unless, of course, that conversation is on the record, printable in a newspaper.”

A plug-in for WordPress that allows you to run a full fledged forum inside your site without installing additional software. Neat!

Short 2 minute web only episodes of The Office focusing on the gang in accounting – Oscar, Angela and Kevin.

“For every product sold on your website, you earn 50% of the profit…and your customers never leave your site!” Neat!

Why bother taking notes when someone else is doing it for me? ;)

Just trying to keep track of the photos from the weekend. I know by the end of the weekend it’ll be pretty full of Scott Beale’s photos, but maybe I’ll make my way into one…

“Make your windows float above all others, make them transparent at the scroll of your wheel or in a single keystroke, and move them without having to go search for the title bar. All of this, for most Mac applications, in just a few clicks.”

If you want to know why I’ve been scarce on the internet for most of July, here’s part of the reason why. Frankly, working for a company this transparent is really nice.

Hot damn, this is a slick little Flickr slideshow app…

It’s way beta (i.e. the prefs are in Japanese, it’s a bit buggy) but the review I read of it made it seem way too nice not to try out.
