Here's the higher quality original.

Laser Graffiti

Here's the specs to how it's done. For the tech people only, I guess.

Mind Maps

Bubbl.us is a nice new service allowing you to create online mind maps for brainstorming. PC Magazine has a good review/introduction.

PixelPerfect with Bert Monroy

If you're into Photoshop you need to know PixelPerfect with Bert Monroy. Very high quality video Photoshop tutorials. Top recommendations. An understanding of Photoshop basics might be required - if you understand the layer principle you're probably set.

Curiosity

Curiosity skilled the cat.

The Amen Break

"This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music -- a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison's 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip."
Thanks Pato for the clip tip.

Online Photo Editing

Here's a nice commented list of online photo editing sites.

Eavesdrop

I really like the idea of the CD Eavesdrop: A Wealth Of Found Sound:

"Eavesdrop: A Wealth Of Found Sound is a collection of anonymous recordings found at thrift stores, yard sales, and in trash bins over the past four years. These unaltered tracks come from audio or micro-cassettes, 8-Tracks and home-recorded records. Many of the clips are segments from audio diaries, tape-letters, the sound of road trips, fights, crying, family moments, telephone conversations/messages, or the amusements of children or the mentally handicapped."

Centrifugal Force

What Differ Man From Beast

What differ man from beast
is the delusion of rationality.

Sin City Las Vegas Police

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police has redesigned their recruiting campagn so it looks like Sin City. Isn't that nice.

The Art of Retouching

Following the video I blogged earlier showing how much the photo of a model gets retouched in the process, here's Glenn Feron - The Art of Retouching. Don't believe the hype.

Coke Commercial

Nagi Noda reprises her award-winning Yuki video concept for Coke. Features original music by White Stripes' Jack White.

How To Write Good

Here's a nice list of 50 things to avoid when writing called How To Write Good.

Evolution Of Dance

The clip above has 37,428,009 views at the time of writing...

Flash

Check out this useless but well-done flash drag-n-drop creation.

The Year 2006 In Pictures

Check out this brilliant collection of 24 of The Best Photos of the Year 2006 from Time Magazine.

Money

Money is a tool - the only tool
that most everybody
wants you to use poorly.

Honda Choir

Most excellent Honda commercial.

Scary Mary Poppins Trailer

Remixing movies is right up my alley. Hats off to Moviemker for this example called Scary Mary Poppins' Trailer.

Shortcuts

A shortcut is just a detour
that you're unaware of.

Talk Talk Commercial

Nicely done Talk Talk commercial.

Cinemateket/Filmhusets Still-Foto Samling

Ved du godt, at Cinemateket - bedre kendt som Filmhuset - har en virkelig imponerende still-foto samling? Hvis jeg husker rigtigt, fik jeg engang at vide, at det er en af de største i verden. Jeg har været derinde nogle gange, med en liste, jeg havde skrevet hjemmefra. Man får nemlig ikke lov til at komme i selve arkivet. Man spørger om lov til at se stills fra en bestemt film. Arkivaren henter dem, og et par hvide handsker, man skal have på, når man behandler dem. Sejt. Jeg har endnu ikke ramt en film, de ikke har haft i hvert fald nogle stills fra. Priserne er rimelige, synes jeg (jeg kan ikke huske dem præcist), og du kan få print helt op i plakat-størrelse, fordi det er rigtige fotos.

Cheap Business Cards

Making business cards from digital photographs made with Photoshop, and printed by online photo printing sites is a nice method of creating high-quality, full-colour, cheap business cards - and other promotional paperware. I totally do it. Danish readers can go to Digital Foto Online and find the cheapest price for a given amount and format. I made this design, two on top of each other, and cut the photo in half:

Sideways

Prøvede at skrive en filmanmeldelse. Filmen er Sideways, og som det fremgår, kan jeg rigtig godt lide den. Har lige fundet ud af, at den har vundet 91 priser, så det var der åbenbart også andre, der kunne. Men gør dig selv en tjeneste, og lad være at se traileren. Den sucker.

Digital fotofremkaldelse

Hos Digital Foto kan du beregne hvilken online foto-fremkalder, der er den billigste i et givent format og antal. Kvaliteten er efter sigende omtrent den samme.

Brief Summary of String Theory

Lulu Self Publishing

Lulu Self Publishing offers to print your book from .pdf, in any number. Paperback, hardcover and a varity of formats. The pricing seems really reasonable.

Flickr

Photo by Isolatediguana

I've said it before. I'll say it again. Yet another excellent shot in the huge and valuable database of digital photographs that is Flickr. Check out Flickr Leech for a quick overview of a lot of interesting shots. Here's my list of favorites, so far.

Mentos Bloodsport

If you've seen the movie Bloodsport, you will like this Mentos remix.

Bukowski

Oh, yes

there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this
and most often
when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than
too late.

Charles Bukowski

This poem is one of the Charles Bukowski poems recited in the excellent documentary Charles Bukowski - Born Into This. My recommendations.

6 Years In the Life of a Guy Called Noah

This guy Noah took a photo of himself everyday for some 6 years and edited the pictures as a high speed slideshow. I think the combination of the steady look in his eyes, his slowly changing face, the high speed environment changes and the excellent original piano soundtrack is very expressive. Turn up your speakers.

Ikea Commercial

Spike Jonze made this funny Ikea commercial.

Extreme Cases

Investigations of an argument or idea
suffer greatly from the use
of prematurely applied extreme cases.

Writely

Google now has an online word-processor as well. It bears the name of Writely, it works, and it can pretty much do what Microsoft Word does. Furthermore it gives you the ability to create either read-only or editing permissions for other people on the documents you create. That's just *so* Web 2.0.

Drawspace

Drawspace is a comprehensive, good-looking online drawing textbook and I like it.

Five Ways to Kill a Man

Edwin Brock wrote this really nice poem called Five Ways to Kill a Man.

Can't

Can't oft is won't
Do it, mayn, or don't

Animated Jigsaw Puzzle

An animated jigsaw puzzle. Nice idea.

Reservoir Dogs - The Game

Check out this excellent commercial for Reservoir Dogs - The Game. It has kids in it.

Cigarette Ad

Spiritualitet

Spiritualitet bliver altid
forvekslet med selv-udvikling,
der altid, i praksis,
er ego-udvikling.
Altid.

Alle forestillinger
om processer
er egoet's.

Go Berkeley!

Another sweet source of information here at ddavid.dk - Where Information Comes to Hang Out. Berkeley University of California has been so kind as to put online podcasts of series of lectures. You will find both audio and video, and you will find it here.

Potential Excellence

I suspect a lot of potential excellence
is prevented by frustration of initial incompetence.

Flickr

I feel like mentioning Flickr again. Community for the photographically inclined. You can see some of my favorites here, and some of my own shots here.

Eric Gustafson

I like the work of the artist Eric Gustafson. Perhaps you will, too. Try to turn on your sound while visiting. I think it's a rare occurrence of a soundtrack that actually works pretty good.

Things

If things are difficult, you are probably trying
to make them easy. Make them difficult instead.

The Word Just

I would like to suggest agreeing on the word 'just'
relating to simpleness and not easyness
unless otherwise stated.

Online Whiteboard

This here is another great application. Imagination Cubed has created an online whiteboard, which demands no irritating membership, and allows you to be whiteboard-creative with your friends and colleagues online. Excellent.

Thinking

I'm thinking of you now

Experience

The world is full of experience and people who cannot be bothered using it.

In My Opinion

Learning to say "I think that" and "In my opinion" took me a couple of years. Some years later I started to mean it. I still forget the first part all the time, but the last part is pretty much stuck. You rarely need remind me.

Leonard Cohen

"Only one thing made him happy, and now that it was gone, everything made him happy."

Leonard Cohen



The above quote is from this excellent interview with Leonard Cohen, conducted by Norwegian Radio. You can read the transcript here.

Flickr Rocks

You can find some pretty amazing photos at Flickr, the photo community. Check out some of my favorites:

this in-your-face-little girl.

this aboriginal guy.

this beautiful girl.

this Newman-eyed girl.

this indian kid with paint in his face (it's so Benetton).

this amazingly-eyed girl (I love you!).

this cute kid.

And alot of praise to Peter Bower for nature-shots like this and this, and to Stoneth for taking people-snaps like these homeless people.

DevilFinder

DevilFinder is an excellent search engine with regards to images and to some degree video as well. It lacks the porno filters of Google, so be warned. It is powerful.

PageFlakes

Pageflakes is a cool site that lets you create your own personalized startpage. It just won the Web 2.0 Award for Best Start Page.

Banksy

I like the work of english street artist Banksy. He's doing his thing in the streets, as well as on the inner walls of museums. Of his own choice.

Flickr Leech

If you like photos you probably know Flickr. If you like photos you probably should know Flickr Leech - an application that gives you screen after screen filled to the brim with photos from Flickr, choosen by way of things like date and 'interestingness'. Nice.

Paper Eleven

I have finally found the manga style I have been looking for in Paper Eleven, a clone.manga project. The artwork is perfect for framing and the complete series is free to download! The plot is as follows:

"14-year-old Maya survives a terrible train accident only to find herself in a strange world where people, places, and souls are made of paper. Now, hunted and alone, she has 11 days to find the bodies, reconstruct the accident, and return home."

Thanks a lot to SimonOfDenmark for the tip.

Flickr

If you're interested in photography, Flickr is a good place to go. A huge community for the sharing and browsing of snaps. The basic membership is free, and allows you to upload 20 MB of pictures a month, no limit on storage. Be prepared to lose a few hours when going there.
