I’ve always enjoyed urban art. Here in Milwaukee, I had the pleasure of experiencing the whale wall. I miss those whales.

This setup is really cool. I just hope those bolts holding the tubes to ceiling don’t break.

Play your ROMs the way they were meant to be seen. On a real NES.
“I decided to hack a cartridge to be able to reload it with the software of my choice, which may be a game, a demo, a home-made game, or maybe someday my own software. I used two AT49F002 (256K) flash chips. I program them using a universal eprom programmer.”

I love this.  Jinx is apparently selling RIAA toilet paper.  Someone HAS to use this and then send it to the RIAA.

A German art student tried to join a Chinese dynasty’s army _ but he volunteered centuries too late.

The 26-year-old man _ identified only as “Pablo” or by his Chinese name “Ma Lin” _ made a dusty brown suit of armor, a tunic and a helmet, and attempted to blend in with the ancient warriors of the terra cotta army in the western city of Xi’an, the Hong Kong newspapers Ming Pao Daily News and Wen Wei Po reported on Monday.

The outfit matched the uniforms worn by the thousands of terra cotta soldiers buried in the tomb of the Emperor Qin Shihuangdi, who ruled between 221-210 B.C., the papers said. The soldiers _ one of China’s greatest archaeological discoveries _ are displayed in a Xi’an museum.
