Uncommon and Custom Instruments

Friday, November 17th, 2006

Odd music requires odd instruments. This website has a ton of pictures of old instruments you won’t see in an American pop group. There are also experimental hybrid musical instruments and information behind them. Most of them are probably too rare for my price range, but I can try to make my own Cigar Box [...]

The Most Surreal Pictures

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

andrzejdragan is an amazing surreal photographer and photo manipulation artist. I have seen nothing like it. It resembles an ordinary photograph, but at the same time it’s extends reality. Truly unbelievable. I haven’t a clue how to pronounce the name of the guy, but it’s totally worth checking out even if you hate art. Amazing [...]

Your Phone and Desktop Dirtier than Toilet

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

Some research done at the University of Arizona shows that your desk and work area may have more bacteria on it than a toilet seat, 400 times more according to the study. I’m sure it varies in area, but they had 7,000 different locations in New York, San Francisco, Tucson and Tampa. I guess it’s [...]

Free CGW (Computer-Generated Website)

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

We live in a world of artificial intelligence, technology, and humans. Now, I could go on a rant about the downfall of civilization, or the outcome of an artificial world, or the pros and cons of advanced scientific discoveries, but I’ll be rather simple and say that I found a online computer program that can [...]

What to Say in an 18 Wheeler

Monday, November 13th, 2006

We our losing touch with other cultures and underground lifestyles of society. If you don’t have a semi-trailer or don’t know a truck driver, you may be unaware of some interesting Trucker slang. So the [...]

Jazz Machine

Sunday, November 12th, 2006

There is a really interesting musical frequency generator that produces unique “free jazz” style tones when you move the frequency scroll bar around with your mouse. It’s called the Jazz Machine. You can play with it online or download it to your computer. It’s completely free and easy to use. It’s fun because it can [...]

Can You Speak in English?

Saturday, November 11th, 2006

Slang and being creative with language is great, but it isn’t the best way to get educated from your favorite music star or movie. The Pop Culture Translator shows the absurdity of how some people use and abuse the English language, the language which has been approved by voters of Arizona as the state’s official [...]

Mars-1 Paintings

Friday, November 10th, 2006

I’ve never used acrylics or any kind of paint for artistic purposes except spray paint and fabric paint. Since I am so foreign to this medium, I appreciate how different it is from stuff that I normally do. The closest I came to a painter was sporting an afro like Bob Ross. Although Ross is [...]
