The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. The Onion A.V. Club has a wonderful feature: Let It Die: 23 Songs That Should Never Be Covered Again. Includes videos of particularly heinous covers of the songs in question. (Via) Pictures and video of a pretty impressive 10-foot-tall fan-made Optimus Prime costume. (Via Jason) We know it's fated to suck, but this trailer for the Iron Man video game sure......

On Wednesday night, I was at The Annex in New York City. Sneak Attack Media invited me to the CMJ Showcase. Why do you care where I was on Wednesday night, let alone care about what I was doing? Allow me to enlighten your troglodytic minds. Sit down. Class is now in session. In a mess of flashing lights, speaker booms, and synthesized, electronic beats stood Philadelphia’s own innerpartysystem. All one word. They shredded......

This week ended with the launch of the seventh and final Harry Potter installation. But while the world was consumed with Pottermania, it's important to remember that there were more serious things going on in the world, too – two of them in -Ist cities. Sampaist was shocked when a passenger jet crashed into the center of Sao Paulo, killing at least 200 people. The airplane, an Airbus A320, skidded off the runway at the......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Now here's a holiday we can get behind: today is National French Fries Day! (Via Sarah) Local photographer Kyle Cassidy has an interesting book out called Armed America, which consists of photos of gun owners from across the United States, in their homes, displaying their collections, etc. There's no political statements being made; it's just a cultural exploration. The project is interesting, and......

We should really start carrying a real camera around with us. It just seems so...impractical. And taking pictures of people who probably wouldn't be happy to know you were taking their pictures is just way, way easier when it just looks like you're trying to find someone's phone number. Anyway, we saw the above on Eleventh and Spruce yesterday morning and were too amused by the image not to share it. It kinda looked......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. A cute video to start your Wednesday afternoon off right. And now an exceedingly uncute video to continue your Wednesday afternoon...wrong. It's Nic Cage transforming into Ghost Rider! Well...he seems to be enjoying it, anyway, and that's what counts, right? (Via) We're finding it kind of mind-blowing that Reuters opened a bureau inside the game Second Life. This means they have......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Gifts for the nerd who has everything: a replica of Link's Master Sword that's actually made of steel and leather and stuff; replicas of Link's ocarina; or Duck Fadar, an LED rubber duckie version of Darth Vader. (Via) Escher on Flickr. Quite an impressive collection of his work. (Via) We're very glad that Hayao Miyazaki keeps not being truthful when he......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. The trailer for The Matrix, redone entirely in CGI, and recast entirely with Muppets. The CGI isn't the best (which is understandable, given that this is a student project), but the casting is excellent. Rizzo the Rat as Cypher? Brilliant! Btw, make sure to stay through to the end; there's an amusing epilogue. (Via Jill) Apropos has got some great treadmill-related links today.......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Man, that is one awesome billboard. (Via) Zidane vs. Materazzi, the game! It's pointless, silly, and over in seconds, but...well, come to think of it, that's pretty much the criteria we use to pick things out for this post! (Via) And just in case you still haven't seen enough representations of this infamous moment, here's another one. Finally, somebody's figured out how to......
