Listening Room Made out of Cardboard
I thought paper sound engineering gear was cool. Then, I came across the cardboard listening room. Enjoy music in a pod constructed of 720 half square cardboard sheets.

Turkish Movie Remakes
The Turkish version of Hollywood makes Turkish versions of popular American films. Hilarity ensues. Gathered together here are clips of Turkish Star Wars, Superman, Star Trek, etc.

AbeBooks Advertisement
An entertaining series of ads for the online bookstore AbeBooks.

Miwa Koizumi: PET Project
Undersea lifeforms sculpted from used plastic soda bottles. A very creative and surreal way to reuse what most would consider trash. But, I doubt she can get the deposit back for them.

Post-it Notes Donkey Kong
A four story tall recreation of the first Donkey Kong level. It only took 6,400 Post-it Notes, 10 people, and 5 hours. Pretty good time if you ask me.

My secret love of papercraft slams head on into my complete lack of knowledge regarding sound engineering.

Gene Simmons Rocks Times Square with Guitar Hero II
I have friends who love Guitar Hero. I have friends who love Xbox 360. These are the same friends who wake people up by sining Strutter by KISS while playing air guitar.

Good vs. Evil Foosball
I never thought of Hitler, Flash Gordon, Idi Amin, and Saint Francis of Assisi being depicted in such a light. ElevenForty, however, has had such visions. If your dream has always been seeing God versus Lucifer in a game of football, get ready to weep.
The Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel
Utterly incredible. Not living in New York City, I had no idea such extravagant methods of burrito transport were even feasible. This is certainly a stop I will have to make next time I visit. (It would be great if this were true.)
