Packaging Nirvana
For those of you who have strong opinions about creationism and evolution, put them aside for just a moment and think about this clip in the context of how far we still have to go in the application, design and production of planet-friendly packaging : = c
Powderhorn Empty Bowls
Our pal, Jennie the Potter, works with a group of other folks on Powderhorn Empty Bowls, a community-based, volunteer-driven organization who’s goal is to eliminate hunger from the neighborhood in and around Powderhorn Park in MPLS. They throw each and every bowl by hand. Then, for an in-kind donation they fill your bowl with homemade…
Needs vs. Desires

Word to the Bird
This one comes to us via Fwwank – thanks for this one, man [and, yes, these fellas [der Fall Böse] ARE playing that song live in a van] : = c
Spain : games
As some of you may know, i’m nearing completion on a documentary about the game of Tag. Safe to say I have a rather compulsive interest in games of all kinds. My good friend Bergey made this vid earlier in the year about games they play in Espain : = c
survival
And here i thought eagles were just big rats with wings who only scavenged. Perhaps Alaskan eagles are more lazy? These golden eagles are rather ambitious – warning to some – this footage is rather graphic so watch at your own risk : = c
Machinima
Some of you may remember this rather unorthodox, though, significant event in online history : Machinima (pronounced /məˈʃiËÂÂnÉ™mÉ™/ or /məˈʃɪnÉ™mÉ™/), a portmanteau of machine cinema, is a collection of associated production techniques whereby computer-generated imagery (CGI) is rendered using real-time, interactive 3-D engines, such as those of games, instead of professional 3D animation software. Engines…

The De-Evolution of Culture
Larry Lessig says what no one else has the cojones to in this clip. Larry gets TEDsters to their feet, whooping and whistling, following this elegant presentation of three stories and an argument. The Net’s most adored lawyer brings together John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights, and the “ASCAP cartel” to build a case for creative…

MGMT : Electric Feel
My pal Alec turned me onto this vid the other day. Music videos were never like this growing up [note the mouse-clicking going on along the bottom of the frame as the user manipulates color palettes and such]: the lyrics of a great pop tune : all along the western front people line up to…
