something cool I found on the internets

Warhol^2

looky

You know how Andy Warhol was basically the hack’s hack, and part of the statement of things like the Marilyn prints is how repetition makes something cheap and commercial? No? That’s not what it means? Well whatever with you.

Anyway, for all those who need their irony fix, there is Beautiful Agony– a site which archives shorts of static headshots of various strangers having an orgasm. Maybe “various” is the wrong word. Maybe “Legions of strangers” would be more accurate.

Warhol directed a 30 minute short called Blowjob (1963), in which we watch a man’s face as he apparently gets a blowjob.

So in a way,

Beautiful Agony = (Blowjob * Marilyn)

ZDAG

looky

Essentially, the Bollywood Netflix. Something that is kind of funny is they appear to be also branded as Kalyaa, based in New York (vs Santa Clara), and yet they do not own the domain kalyaa.com. Maybe that is why they are called ZDAG.

Digital Sundial

looky

This this is awesome- it’s a digital sundial- a sundial that shows numbers according to the angle of light coming through a grill. It requires no power.

This is the future. Actually, no- if this was made from renewable materials, and required almost no energy to make or design, then it would be from the future.

Tainted Reina

looky

It’s just a blog of some girl who seemingly plays a whole lot of Final Fantasy. A whole lot. Nice site design though!

Oddly enough she demands no one who actually knows her in real life read her site.

I got to her site through Creative Uncut, which had some Zelda: Wind Waker scans I thought were interesting- stained glass windows of episodes from Link’s life. Lots of interesting religious imagery in that game.

Circo Hermanos Caballero

looky

Mexican-American circus based out of Las Vegas. I saw their tent on the way home; unfortunately I found out about them too late and they are already packing up!

Apparently they had an incident on the morning of March 24th- one of their camels, “Romeo,” got away from handlers around the Oakland Coliseum and was making a break for the freeway. Don’t worry; they caught him in time and he didn’t hurt himself or anyone else.

Ghee Happy

looky

I met this guy (Sanjay Patel) at APE and bought his book, “Little India.” It rules! You can see the illustrations on the web site.

Hinduism made EASY!

  • Perfect guide to Hindu mythology.
  • Simple explanations of all the deities.
  • Bold pictures, and helpful labels.
  • Extra cute

BoohBah!

looky

We went out last night to celebrate my birthday again (on Tuesday we went to Chez Panisse), this time to a Japanese restaurant run by Chinese people- some of their sushi rolls were really out of control.

Everyone was incredibly stuffed, so we ambled over to Toys R Us, and saw The Boohbahs, which may be the worst thing in the universe. They are basically living plush pustules, larval forms of Teletubbies which look like a cross between a breast implant and a penis in freezing water.

They had the dancing ones there- we amused ourselves by activating lots of them at the same time. For the rest of the night someone would randomly make the “booh-bah” noise and then everyone else would hit them.

The Boohbahs, five magical atoms of power, light and fun travel in their Boohball around the world, from child to child. Fifteen countries are visited throughout the changing title sequence.
