Culture: Ricardo Autobahn takes the Girl Talk mashup concept to a new level

  • Here’s a fun game: Watch this music video – built from clips from TV shows and movies – and spend hours figuring out what pop culture clips this clever bastard (who goes by Ricardo Autobahn) used. It’s like Girl Talk for movies, except significantly more cerebral. source

Offbeat: This Transformer dude already has your Halloween costume beat

  • At least he decided to dress like something cool instead of Tron Guy. Though if the guy did this in front of our house as we were passing out candy, we’d point and laugh.source

Offbeat: Not impressed: Some guy shoots an anvil 200 feet in the air

  • Who cares if what Gay Wilkinson is doing is technically impressive and kind of neat? It doesn’t fit our personal standards as video watchers, so we’re gonna complain without merit. Because, seriously, would you expect any less of us?source

Culture: Improv Everywhere is at the grocery store, being awesome again

  • Somehow, Improv Everywhere has managed to take an idea – comedy in public places – and make it a truly immaculate thing that’s evolved over time. They went from simply dressing up like Best Buy employees to creating elaborate performance pieces like this. That’s impressive.source

Tech: This talking piano talks better than we do (kinda)

  • Now, if only they could give this piano a brain so that it could talk back to us when we sassed it. “Oh no you di’int” in the key of G. (The Austrians are geniuses, by the way.)source

Tech: This is how we produce all the fake photographs our site uses

PhotoSketch: Internet Image Montage from tao chen on Vimeo.

  • With technology this awesome, who needs the truth, anyway? The truth was just getting in the way of what everyone really wanted, which is awesome, beautiful photos. Photosketch grabs random labeled photos off the internet and throws them into simply-drawn shapes that you outline. The geniuses that made this now have a hit on them thanks to photojournalists everywhere.source
