Lava Lamp Costume
Genevra Collier (aka tragopandemonium) created an incredible outfit that turned her into a human lava lamp.
Disco Metallica
This is one of the strangest and amazing things I’ve seen…or rather heard.
Tekken
Turns out my neighbor’s sister is the voice actress for Tekken’s Nina Williams. Who knew?
SquareOne TV and Mathnet
When I was a kid, I remember SquareOne TV very fondly. I even got the weekly activity books (which nobody seems to remember or mention besides myself) and remember being so excited when they came. It really turned me on to math and eventually computers.
Here’s one of the better resource collections for SquareOne. But if you want to check out some episodes, you can see some of them on YouTube:
RubberBandit’s Horse Outside
Country music in Europe is a little different than in the US…

A touching love story
“And that’s when I fell in love with the 12 foot skeleton from Home Depot”
More Polybius
Polybius is a great urban legend that got its start in Portland. There’s lots of fodder thrown around about it, but The Polybius Conspiracy appeared to be a real investigation on the subject. They even have a lot of interviews from local people. It turns out, it was COMPLETELY FALSE and their main character was an actor.
None of that was disclosed. It is one more reason you should be very weary of documentaries as information sources. Evidence shows you should NOT be putting faith in documentaries any more than an editorial opinion piece.
If you want a little better coverage, this is also a good video about the urban legend:
Visual Studio in a browser?
Next question: can you do development to deployment completely online. I’m having flashbacks to 1970’s era dumb terminals again…
