This video comes from my friend Tom (too bad it’s on the tail end…pun intended…of Easter). Didn’t get to post it in time…
Thanks for the nightmares, Tom!

When I first saw this pig on the stage, I did not think he’d have such sweet moves in store.

This song is composed entirely of vocal samples, musical chords and sounds effects from Disney’s 1937 version of Snow White. Who knew Disney movies could be remixed into catchy trip-hop tracks? Well done!
There is also an entertaining Alice in Wonderland Gangsta Rap Mashup if you’re interested.

Here are some odds and ends for the unconventional romantic.
Linocut Print Zombie Valentines
I knew zombies would be all the rage in alternative Valentines this year!
Love these cookies!
A funny video about heterosexual holiday gift giving (aimed at Christmas, but perfectly applicable to Valentine’s Day consumer culture):

Another genius video has surfaced about one of my favorite things! Julian Smith made this badass video about reading.
His intensity is priceless.
And here I thought nothing would compare to the Arts and Crafts Gangsta Rap. I may have to check out his other videos.

I do not follow any form of organized religion. However, science often leaves me humbled, awestruck and downright ecstatic. Musing about how all things are materially and energetically interconnected in the vast scheme of the universe brings me a kind of meditative peace there is no real word for (as the following video aptly points out).
Science and spirituality are one and the same to me, so I find the separation of these matters baffling. I am in what I gather to be a minority: those who worship reality and find “soul” in harmonious complexities of nature and properties of energy.
This video does a nice job of presenting my case (yes, it is 15 minutes long, but I highly recommend it to all with an interest in the wonders of science).
We are so very small and insignificant. Yet, with the incomprehensible particles, patterns and occurrences in the universe…simply existing at this place in time is miraculous.

The holidays had some unexpected challenges in store for me this year (including hospitalized family, and what may be the largest data loss of my entire electronic life, if my paid backup service fails me). I’m trying to stay positive, so instead of lamenting anything quite yet, I’ll simply go ahead and give you a belated Christmas collection of links I had marked.
Incredible paper cut snowflakes
Amazing Galaxy Science Fiction Christmas covers
A great collection of gingerbread creations
Simon’s Cat: Santa Claws (I had the pleasure of watching two new cats “discover” a Christmas tree this year…this video pretty much captures it all):
I hope you all had fantastic holidays…whatever and however you celebrate!

You don’t have to be a Slayer fan (though it sure wouldn’t hurt) to appreciate this display.

Ryan Iverson is back with another Werner Herzog reading of a childhood classic.
I wish he could have gotten the real Herzog to narrate, but if you’re familiar with Herzog’s work, this reading is brilliantly done.
See others here.

I know it’s cruel to post a long-discontinued item in the heart of the year’s most hectic shopping period. My apologies to anyone who would immediately add Milky the Marvelous Milking Cow to their shopping or wish list.
Here we have a plastic cow that “drinks” water from a trough (meaning, you put its head down and it acts like a vacuum hose), which then mixes with imitation milk tablets housed in its stomach.
The luscious, giant cow lips and come-hither stare are unnerving. I feel…dirty.
And the final product is not exactly appetizing.
Purely from a collector standpoint, these must be rather valuable.
Watch the commercial, if you dare:
And if your thirst for retro toy horror has not been quenched, why not visit Baby Alive? Or the Baby Alive follow up post?
