This short documentary tells you all you need to know about Baldessari, crammed into 6 minutes, with gravelly narration by Tom Waits. The film was commissioned by LACMA in 2011 for their “Art + Film Gala” honoring Baldessari and Clint Eastwood, and was directed by Henry Joost & Ariel Schulman.

    When you need to clean something small or delicate, such as precision instruments or optics, don’t reach for a dirty microfiber cloth or lint-leaving and potentially scratchy paper towel, use a Kimwipe. Kimwipes are disposable delicate task wipers that are intended for use in laboratories and industrial settings, but they are every bit as versatile in home workshops. “Delicate task wipers” has always sounded strange to me, but I suppose the distinction is necessary to avoid confusing Kimwipes with Kleenex tissues or ordinary tissue paper.

    A new book, 100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design, written by Steven Heller and Veronique Vienne, sets out some of the more powerful ideas and concepts that shaped graphic design: From concepts like manifestos (#25), pictograms (#45), propaganda (#22), found typography (#38), and the Dieter-Rams-coined philosophy that “less is more” (#73) to favorite creators like Alex Steinweiss, Noma Bar, Saul Bass, Paula Scher, and Stefan Sagmeister, the sum of these carefully constructed parts amounts to an astute lens not only on what design is and does, but also on what it should be and do.

    15 May 2012 | 6:55 pm
    Thomas Wilson, who played bad guy/bully Biff Tannen in the Back to the Future films, typed up a letter answering some of the questions he is often asked about the time travel trilogy. The hoverboards didn’t really fly, we were hanging by wires from a crane. The manure was made from peat moss, cork, dirt and a food agent that made it sticky. The DeLorean was an inferior automobile and nearly impossible for a person of normal size like myself to enter and exit. There are many tiny plot points hidden in the movies, but I don’t know what they are.

Middle-aged Aist (Igor Sergeev) works as a photographer in Neya, a small town located several hundred kilometres north east of Moscow. Although a relatively solitary character, with only a pet dog for company at home, the local women…

    The Coaster Critic
    15 May 2012 | 6:00 am
    X-Flight opened last week and from the footage I’ve been seeing, the ride looks incredible. Just as the animated videos and images showed, X-Flight is packed with inversions and great looking near-misses. I’m still feeling pretty good about picking it as my most anticipated roller coaster of 2012. Here’s a sample of some of the rave reviews that X-Flight has been receiving: I got four rides on it today, and it didn’t disappoint. The hang time on the first drop-version is solid regardless of where you’re sitting, and everything that follows is an element or strong…

    Hersheypark’s been putting its new roller coaster, Skyrush, through the paces. Sporting Intamin’s new 4-across seating and floorless outer seats, Skyrush can be seen zooming through its yellow track in these two videos. Skyrush’s First Test Run: A Keystone Milestone The first video is described as Skyrush’s first ever test run, but I’m not sure how enthusiasts would know that unless they’ve literally camped out right outside of Hersheypark for days…. Which come to think of it, isn’t that unlikely for us geeks. Okay, so it’s probably the…

  • POLL – What Should Cedar Point’s 2013 Roller Coaster Be?

    The Coaster Critic
    12 May 2012 | 9:00 am
    It’s rumor time again. The Coaster Capital (that’s technically no longer the capital), is not only opening without a new coaster for 2012, but it’s also removing one before opening. Last week, the park announced WildCat’s swift closure and demolition. The park explained that the ride was being removed to make way for the expansion of the Celebration Plaza area. Of course, this kind of move is going to stir up the roller coaster rumor mill. But what do you build in a theme park that has everything? With 16 roller coasters they’ve got many of the major ride types…

    On my recent trip to SeaWorld Orlando I got a fresh (and extra wet) ride on Journey to Atlantis. Water roller coasters are a fairly recent development. They merge the chute the shoot water ride with roller coaster elements. There are three Journey to Atlantis water roller coasters at the three SeaWorld parks. After boarding the ride’s boats, I shoved off into the world of Atlantis, the mythical underwater city. For a while, guests float their way through the elaborately themed scenery until the tour takes a turn. The female voice you’ve been hearing as your guide turns out to be…

In it, we get to see the ride’s different trains take that dive to the Rhine River that Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s coasters seem to love to do. Check out this test video of Verbolten at Busch Gardens Williamsburg: Verbolten’s trains look great! And, it’s nice to see the ride in action even though we can’t see the indoor section which will likely be the best part of ride.

    General Motors has claimed that it will stop advertising on Facebook. Why? Simple – they think Facebook ads just don’t work. The announcement comes at a crucial time as the multi-billion Facebook IPO is all set to rock the stock markets this Friday. Apparently GM spends around $40 million on Facebook marketing alone out of which $10 million is spent on Facebook ads. Whoa! That is a huge number. Pundits may already be in the process of writing super long blog posts stating this may be the start of Facebook’s end. Alright let’s not exaggerate here. It’s obvious…

    I love to shop online! It has come to a stage where I’d rather sit on my lazy ass and order things online instead of walking into an actual store. Buying offline is so 1995 for me now. I’ve spent a good five figure amount on online shopping this year alone. As much as I love to shop online, I hate it when an experience turns sour. Zovi was a discovery I used to cherish. I hopped on to their site via a Facebook ad and became a loyal customer. I loved their simple yet elegant designs and the amazing online shopping experience. Everything was so awesome…until their logistics…

The other day I was reading this amazing article on how money can actually help you buy happiness and this weird thought popped into my head – am I truly truly happy? Happiness is a state of mind, as they say, and there’s absolutely not much that you can do to change the uncertainty around you. What you can change is the set of actions you take in your normal life so that these uncertain things that surround you take a good shape, hopefully. Jeff Atwood says: 1.

  • "Zombie Ant" Fungus Under Attack—By Another Fungus

    10 May 2012 | 8:00 am
    To hear David Hughes tell it, rain forest floors are littered with corpses of fungus-infected "zombie ants." This made the entomologist wonder: How do the lucky ants escape zombification?The answer, his team found, is that the ants have an unwitting ally: a fungus that "castrates" the zombie-ant fungus.Ant zombification begins when an Ophiocordyceps fungus shoots spores onto an insect. The parasitic fungus gradually takes over the ant's brain and directs the insect to a cool, moist location. The fungus then kills the ant, and fruiting bodies erupt from the ant's head and spread more…

    SeaWorld Orlando’s bird expert Sherry Rodriguez holds the park’s first Red-legged Seriema chick, hatched on April 30.  The current Seriema population in U.S. zoos is only 62, and the last bird was hatched in 2009, so each hatchling is precious to the population. Sherry is the surrogate mother for this chick, meaning she is hand raising it, and it’s doing very well. This is a huge commitment -- she takes it home every night for round-the-clock feedings and even uses a feather duster in its brooder (incubator) to simulate the mother bird’s feathers. The Red-legged…

The name may not be known by everyone, as Disney, Six Flags and even Tussauds (were) are, and that’s mainly because the Merlin Entertainments Group was founded just fourteen years ago in 1998. Since then, the company has expanded exponentially to operate over 70 attractions worldwide; making it the second largest such operator in the world, behind only Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.With such a vast collection of attractions, us theme park junkies will be wondering if there are…

But the strangest thing about this particular Iron Man suit is that it DOESN’T fit its own maker. Mark is just 5ft 6in, so he had to find a suitable Tony Stark type guy to put on his fiberglass creation.  Pearson certainly isn’t the first one to build a replica of the famous Iron man suit, but his is definitely one of the most realistic looking, regardless of the materials…

    I own a very modest Ford Focus which has served me well for some years. Last night as I slept my beloved Focus kept transformed into a red convertible E type Jag. Happy with that. I was next entering a supermarket where I was greeted by a very hot looking female in her underwear who snogged my face off. Happy with that. On the wall I see a giant birthday card, the kind that people buy under the illusion that big is better and not a tacky sentiment that most would find offensive. I then notice a rugby match is taking place in the centre of the supermarket with the posts either end of the…

          How Old is Too Old to Love Cartoons? By Jordan Gottlieb                                    I am going to be completely honest here. I am well past the age that most people would think is acceptable to watch cartoons. I am a married father and have a college degree and manage a business.
