Great idea. This is another project concept that I’d like to see applied to my old neighborhoods. (via Swissmiss)

Pedigree Dogs ad shot 1000 FPS

Too cool. And another great YouTube description…

It’s dogs in slow-mo catching treats. What could be better.

Piano Spiral - Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody #2”

Absolutely brilliant visual representation of piano music. From the description:

In a piano, notes repeat every 12 semitones (or keys, both black and white), and each whole interval doubles the frequency of these notes. Together, these notes form what we call a pitch class.

It occurred me that the shape of a spiral has all the correct properties to represent this relation between notes. So I wondered, how would piano music look like if it was represented as a spiral of keys?

If you’re not an internet geek, you might wanna skip the Apropos of nothing paragraph. The rest is just great.

Roger Ebert: The Essential Man

Ebert’s journal is an amazing showcase of writing by someone who has something to say, and this profile in Esquire captures the essence of what makes it so special.

70-Minute Video Review of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

Epic, moderately offensive, 70 minute review of The Phantom Menace. So sad… so true. My very first post in this tumblified version of NetNichols was a link about another abysmal reawakening of a classic Lucas series.

Papercraft Self Portrait - Art Portfolio for Eric Testroete

I’m a bit late for Halloween, but this is the most fantastically bizarre ‘costume’ I’ve ever seen. I love these art projects that bridge reality with our new digital world.
