The End of the Internet
It has begun, Time Warner Cable is going to destroy the internet. This week broadband customers in Texas will be charged by the GB for internet usage. $1 per gig.
Finally, Robots making fashion.
Today we found an interesting intersection between FASHION + TECHNOLOGY. A bunch of Ruby on Rails developers are developing shirts based on the code that they work in all day. The company is called THOUGHT BOT, they make websites for a wide range of companies. But on the side, and sometimes at major RUBY events, they give away t-shirts. Check them out.

Halo 3: killing spree at the ADC
The multimedia campaign for Halo 3 ate lunch and dinner at the 87th Annual Art Directors Club Awards, taking home 5 Gold Awards in Broadcast Advertising, Broadcast Art Direction and Integrated Advertising. It is one of the most decorated art projects in history.
For the launch the third game in the Halo series Bungie and Microsoft assembled a truly breathtaking breadth of diorama, video and audio that takes viewers through the Battle for New Mombasa where Earth’s forces clashed with the invading Covenant alien fleet.
The story of battle is…
You Look Great Today
thehappycorp has just launched You Look Great Today, a website dedicated to finding, capturing and sharing greatness.
It’s like a mix between The Sartorialist and Hot or Not, but everyone is hot.
The idea is, you go around the city - whatever city - find great looking people, take their picture and then upload it to You Look Great Today. Then people vote on what part of that person - eyes, lips, hair, style - is the absolute greatest.
It’s easy to use and fairly addictive. Even the coolest kids are…
What you’ll be dancing to this summer: Jesus, Bottlenosed Dolphins, Tim Allen
Not only are the objects that make up this world utterly fascinating - the way we document those objects is equally intriguing.
Wikipedia gives the title of every entry exactly the same preference, the same weight. There is never any disparity between boldness, font, size. However detailed the body copy, in the headings we are all created equal.
Open several Wikipedia pages at once and read the title of each entry in a judicial monotone:
“Jesus. Bottlenose Dolphin. Tim Allen.”

Make pictures look old and Japanese
We can’t read any of the copy on this site, but being born in the final 20 years of the 20th century has afforded us small bits of internet intuition.
Upload a picture, hit the button and your picture comes out looking like a letter from Iwo Jima.
For fun that just does not stop, try it with an IM conversation.
Make everything OLDS.
Copyranter is done: gay - Copyranter returns: aight
Copyranter will rant no more (at least not on that site):
The Assassination of Art
We just noticed that Yazmany Arboleda, the man behind The Assassination of Barack Obama & The Assassination of Hillary Clinton has a blog, TheAssassinationofArt.com.The blog will keeps Yazmany’s fans (and critics) up to date on his search to find a new venue for these controversial exhibits that deal with reifying the cultural perceptions of Barack and Hillary which the media is unwilling or unable to vocalize. We’re hoping The Assassination of art becomes The Assassination of Censorship.TheAssassinationofArt.comALSO: read a profile of Yazmany in the Miami Herald.
Secret Threads
From minds at MyOpenBar.com who gave substance to the euphemism, “Avoid hangovers, stay drunk,” comes the latest iteration in cheap-gorging, Secret Threads, a site devoted to “cherry-picked events, art openings, trunk shows, under-the-radar store and sample sale events and parties,” mostly downtown.
Get your fix. Loot New York bare. Secret Threads.
Jose Canseco’s Pool Party
My new favorite blog in the world is Jose Canseco’s Pool Party, a running list of Who Was, Who Wasn’t, and Who Might Have Been at Jose’s 1998 Miami pool party.
“At this point, a complete roster of party attendees is not known, but is a subject of much conjecture across the media landscape…
…One thing is certain — the notion of a Jose Canseco Pool Party is probably one of the most awesome things ever imagined. As Bill Simmons suggested, the list of pool parties throughout history — both real and…
