This is a simple remix I made of Chaplin's Great Dictator—a moving piece as it is—with M83's By the Kiss added over it. Enjoy.

Thomas Allen's Uncovered: 3D pulp fiction

Thomas Allen carefully cuts out pulp covers, arranges them into his own "plot lines" and photographs them with a shallow depth of field. This is definitely one of those "wish I had thought of it" ideas. So cool.

Ricardo Cabello: Actionscript ninja

I found this designer using the StumbleUpon Firefox plugin. His homepage doesn't say much, other than he's a "London-based designer and developer." He could be famous for all I know, but one thing is certain: this work is incredible. If you haven't already, manipulate the droplets by moving your cursor over them. The effect is mesmerizing.

Visit Cabello's site for a wealth of cool actionscript experiments.

Soulless French magnate disillusions grandson in Apple ad from 1989

Apple still leads the pack in innovation and design. No question. But is Jobs' heart still in the right place? Go back 20 years and you might remember what a camaraderie "everyday people" felt with the brand. Now what have you got? DRM iTunes content and $400 iPhones with exclusive AT&T contracts. Makes me long for the days of "thinking different."

Hilarious, yes. But pretty right on from a technical perspective. Best part is that the husband gets to monitor and approve his wife's purchases from another giant computer station in...where is he? Why not keep her hooked up to a chastity monitor at all times? Maybe that came in 2000 A.D.
