This is super cool but then again I’m easily aroused amused. Inspired by Röyksopp’s Remind Me, Vimeo user Tomas Nilsson reinterprets the classic fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood using awesome info-graphics style.

Flash Game Friday: Monkey Metric
Ooh ooh ooh Aaah aah aaH!
That being said, today’s flash game is about a family of monkeys whose very existence is threatened by a fire mountain that they decided so cleverly to live next to. One brave monkey must set forth to save the collective. And that brave monkey is unfortunately you.
Use the arrow keys to move, and the spacebar to toggle the switches in this cutesy isometric puzzle game.

Signs By Bloc Party
This is a video of an Armand Van Helden remix of a Bloc Party song “Signs”. Why would this interest you? Well it’s weird, creepy, and includes a singing vagina. And who can resist that?
Check it out.
Found on Kanye West’s blog.
I love bacon. Some people love Javascript; It’s the cat’s meow (I prefer dog’s bollocks personally) and Chrome Experiments is a series of visualizations that let you see the kinds of things that JavaScript is making possible.
One interesting concoction I like is the Social Collider, a visualization tool that reveals cross-connections between conversations on Twitter. You can search for usernames or topics, which are tracked through time and visualized. The tweets that resonated with others horizontally link to users or topics that relate to them. Posts that did not resonate with anyone just connect to the next item in the stream. It gives a pretty good graphical representation of the impact of a Twitter user, a phrase, or a trend.
I probably haven’t explained it well so head to Social Collider and check it out.
Apparently the future is happening right now. From the looks of the Terrafugia Transition, the future’s going to be an ugly place. This fancy flying car (or driving plane if you will) took to the skies on its maiden flight earlier this month. The two-seater aircraft is an unleaded-fueled front-wheel drive vehicle that can reach 65 MPH on the ground, and is able to fly 450 miles at over 115 MPH.
Expected to retail at a street price of USD 194,000, the Terrafugia Transition is able to transform from plane to car in less than 30 seconds. Optimus Prime would be proud.

T-shirt love
Yes yes people I got my JuJu t-shirt in the post today, and it is AWESOME! I intend to wear it as often as is hygenically possible – especially on election day.
You can order yours at the equally awesome Hayibo.

Foxy animator
It has been said that disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business. And in these tough times of economic downturn, retrentchments, and hell fire (just up the road from my house), I have been seeking high and low for beautiful distractions to keep my belief in magic alive. Dearest Mup pointed me in the direction of something fantastic on YouTube – the work of brilliant animator Nick Fox-Gieg. Watch both these pieces, the animation made me smile, and the story and narrators voice are like soothing ointment for the grazes on your brain.

I Heart Bandage and Scab
Oh god I do love picking scabs so much so I even offer to pick them off other people’s pets. Dogged determination pays off when you’ve gently prised the scab from a healing wound to reveal the mild wetness underneath.
Purple Flavor obviously identify with us “scab-o-philes” and have created a new plush toy, Bandage and Scab.
Hey everybody my name’s Crustopher the Scab. I’m that best friend you just love to pick on. I come complete with a blood-stained bandage. “It’s my blanket!” Hold me, tickle me, nibble my crispy edges, just don’t forget I’m a part of you. Do you have a place in your heart for a Scab?
Aww, Crustopher is too cute.

Russian Bank Hires Strippers
The economic crisis has hit everyone pretty hard, so companies have to think of new ideas to stay ahead of the slump. One Russian bank has hired strippers to dance in the windows of their building to attract new customers and gain some media coverage. It certainly got my attention.
No word whether opening a new account will score a free lap dance.
