I just got back from a very long walk with Zach and I am feeling lazy. All I want to do is sit back, relax and enjoy some Lazy Weekend Links.

Do you miss Kajagoogoo, R.E.O. Speedwagon, Styx, Boy George, Tiffany, and all those other 80's bands we'd rather just forget?  You can view hundreds of 80's videos here.

"Hyperbolic geometry is a mathematical concept so convoluted that just about everyone has given up trying to imagine it."  Well, quit your imagining--Check out this Latvian mathematician's knitting.

"The US authorities have charged seven suspected militants in connection with an alleged plot to destroy the country's tallest building."  [Link]

I thought "The Lord of the Rings" was well done as a movie, but as a musical?  I think I'll skip that show.  [Link]

Check out this very cool movie of a TV filter Aram Bartholl created:

TV-Filter allows to downsample an ongoing tv-show to 6 by 8 pixels in realtime. A translucent projection folie is mounted on a 5 cm deep cardboard grid. The color and intensity of each pixel is determined by the correspondend part of the tv screen on the backside. The different color information of each tv line get mixed to an average color value on each 4 by 4 cm pixel. In this way it is thinkable to reduce every high definition screen to a pleasant information density.
