Rap Represented in Math and Charts

27 11 2007

This is the greatest mathematical representation of rap.  I’m madly trying to piece together all the references, but love the Mike Jones, Beastie Boys and David Banner inside jokes.



Motorhome Racing

26 11 2007

I haven’t laughed this hard at a motorhome race in a long time. Well actually I don’t think I’ve ever seen footage of motorhomes racing. If this is what retirement will look like then I can’t wait to get old.This is a piece of footage from the UK series Top Gear

Technology and Fashion

24 11 2007

Hussein Chalayan has often been criticized in the fashion world for over-intellectualizing clothes. After seeing his Fall 2007 collection, I’d say that this is one art piece where the critical discourse and work seem to sync up. All too often the discourse that surrounds the work is far beyond the physical representation. Chalayan asks questions of our world and answers them with his collections.

Say no to Knocked Up

23 11 2007

Knocked Up is the worst movie I’ve seen in a long time. It’s not romantic. It’s not a comedy. It’s a horror.

Premise: Average dude manages to hook up with a hot girl, but he gets her pregnant. Then she turns out to be a total bitch. He losses most of his friends and he’s way in life. She barely manages to hang onto her job. He tries to be supportive, but she shuns him. Their doctor doesn’t show at the most crucial time, but they do manage to pop out the baby. The end.

Save yourself the time and only watch this scene:
