The List Universe

Here's a site that collects lists, usually top ten lists. Some of the more interesting recent ones include "Top Ten Blind Bluesmen From Before You Were Born," "Top Ten Greatest Robots in Movies," and "Top Ten Bizarre Body Modifications." Definitely some interesting stuff. Thanks to Morgen for today's link.

Totally Looks Like

Here's a blog dedicated to finding pictures of famous people who look like other famous people. Sometimes it compares famous people to cartoon characters, drawings from company logos and other pop culture references. Check out the thumbnail to see that Eric Clapton totally looks like Gordon Freeman. Check out the site to see some more.

Art Pad

Art pad is a pretty cool site that lets you draw you draw pictures, while recording your movements. The drawing tools seem kinda of rudimentary but I started looking through the gallery watching people draw. Some really cool stuff popped up.

Cake Wrecks

Here's a blog that catalogs terrible cakes. It features either cakes that are well made, but based on a bad design (gross or impractical) or cakes that are just poorly put together. My favorite are the ones where the inscriptions are just literal versions of the notes given to the cake maker. Thanks to Angie for the link.

2Advanced studios

I love a high-end flash site, so when I ran across the company of 2Advanced studios I felt the need to share. The site they've built as their homepage is extremely well done. I spent 20 mins today just browsing around it.

Fantastic Contraption

For any of you who remember The Incredible Machine, this might be of interest to you. The 90's PC game let you set up Rube Goldberg style machines to try to accomplish simple tasks, and featured a whole plethora of tools. This one is Flash based and has fewer options, but still requires you to set up machines and let them run in a physics based world. Lots of fun. I've been able to beat all the levels except level 20, "Unpossible." If you can manage, save your machine and post the link to the comments!

Ronald Chevalier

Here is some viral marketing for the upcoming movie Gentlemen Broncos. It looks like the personal website of author and guru Reginald Chevalier. There are youtube clips and audio excerpts from one of his books Bio Wars: a Harpy's Perspective, as well as a photo gallery. Hopefully there will be more info to come. The main character is played by Jemaine Clement, of Flight of the Conchords fame.

Art of Mark Hosford

A few years back I had the pleasure of going to a gallery showing of Mark Hosford. His illustration and screen printing blew me away. His style, as best I can describe it, is a twist of a childhood memories and uncomfortable weirdness. I found his site again recently decided to share.

Bowser's Minions Revolt Against Him

Here's a video featuring several of Super Mario's enemies complaining about the silly rules imposed on them by Bowser. It explains they weird ways they all move in a really funny way. Give it a look. Thanks to Bryan for the link.

8bit peoples

The 8bitpeoples first came together as a collective of artists sharing a common love for classic video games and an approach to music which reflected this obsession. If you check out the Discography page under Production you'll find tons of free online released albums from 8bit producing artists. Some of it is pretty amazing.
