Muxtape embedded in your tumblr
I’m in love with Muxtape and i thank JSTN for that great service! I spent some hours now to develop a possibility to embed my Muxtape in my Tumblr. Fortunately it works! I guess that JSTN has planned to develop such a function later on, but meanwhile you might want to use my little javascript. To embed it you just need to add the following code to the description of your tumblr (click...

First, no we didn’t send the mail. There are only about handful of registered owners of a donotreply.com email address. What normally happens is some spammer slugs it in, or more likely an IT person decides they don’t want to deal with bounced emails one of their programs send out, so what they do is set it to something cute at @donotreply.com as the return address. They think this solves the...

Seriously? How many ways can we invent to monitor each others’ lives before monitoring is all anyone does? Lately the interweb feels like a large, tightly packed crowd of people, motionless, all feverishly glancing around, waiting for someone to blink. Then when someone does, the twelve people near enough to see it start shouting “WE GOT A BLINKER! RIGHT HERE, BLINKED! SAW IT MYSELF! ...

Formula One television coverage in the UK will return next year to the BBC following 12 seasons with ITV, the Formula One Administration announced today. The BBC lost its rights to Formula One after the 1996 season, and it was since covered by ITV, with Martin Brundle serving as commentator for the past 12 years, alongside former BBC commentator Murray Walker and later ITV commentator James Allen....
Jim Lambie's Floor Installations →
Since 1999, the Glasgow-based artist Jim Lambie (1964) has used glossy tape in varying colors to build floor installations such as Touch Zobop (2003)… …Lambie’s works are site-specific and depend on existing gallery architecture. Therefore, Lambie’s work exists only as long as it is installed in art space: it cannot be reproduced in another space with a similar effect.

“Something’s wrong with my girlfriend” - Call to police by man whose girlfriend was stuck on a loo for two years. Bit of an odd one, this. The woman, who has not been named, had become attached to the seat seemingly by her skin growing round it, reported police in Kansas. Her boyfriend, who eventually contacted the authorities, said that he’d bring her food and water every...

Streem is a new micro-blogging tool that would be likened more to Tumblr than Twitter, but even the distinctions between Streem and Tumblr are noteworthy. I read Streem’s about section and saw that the site’s creator, Imran Zaidi, is hoping to do five things with the site. One of those things is to flatten the playing field between bloggers and commenters, making comments more of an integral part...

Ironic Sans: Idea: The Bulbdial Clock →
I think we can all agree that sundials pretty much suck. They only have an hour hand, they don’t work at night or indoors, their accuracy changes with the seasons, and if you happen to live in the Southern hemisphere they run backwards. And yet, we all would love to be able to tell the time by looking at shadows, right? That’s why I’ve come up with the Bulbdial Clock.
Weird NJ Stories, Action Park →
“THE ACTION NEVER STOPS… AT ACTION PARK…” So went the jingle, played endlessly on TV and radio stations in the ’80s and ’90s. The commercials for Action Park marketed it as an essential summer experience for reckless youths. From its first opening in 1978 to its last official season in 1998, people came from all over to slide, swing, and drive themselves to...
