Darth Vader tags Wikipedia

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:13:26 -0500

I'm loving this video of Darth Vader tagging the Wikipedia entry for the force.

I'm really happy to see that the dark side is still getting some solid representation in this whole internet thing. I posted a while back about his "Qee Vader" video, where he designed a pop-vinyl toy in his own image. Hopefully, this new video won't be the last.

Here's a link to the final product:

Darth deserves some credit. Make sure to go and vote it up.

Paint That Shit Gold

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:58:27 -0500

We launched paintthatshitgold.com today to coincide with the release of Atmosphere's new album, "When Life Give You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold".

The site allows you capture and tag your favorite corners of the web (or your least favorite, if you're the glass half empty type) all while listening to songs from the album. Check it out, you'll find an audio player with a legit equalizer (finally!), and a realtime web capture utility.

My sad attempt to be a graffiti artist is pictured above. I'm pretty sure that you folks will be able to do better.

To make the web capture stuff work, we had to build a little internet rendering farm to tap into the pipes and process all those juicy slices of interweb that people are sending in. I've literally got one of fifteen or so machines sitting on my desk right now that's sole purpose in life is to load up web pages and screen capture them for Atmosphere fans. How cool is that?

Six-year-old could face $300 fine for sidewalk chalk 'graffiti'

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 21:45:03 -0500

Six-year-old Natalie Shea received a letter from the Department of Sanitation demanding that she remove the "graffiti" off of her property. Failure to comply would result in a stiff fine of $300.

Apparently, a neighbor had called 311 to report a sidewalk chalk drawing Natalie had drawn in front of her home. She may have not drawn a masterpiece, but it certainly wasn't something that I would call graffiti. Ridiculous! Link.

Natalie's neighbor, if you are reading this, that blue chalk splotch isn't graffiti. This is graffiti:

Unless Natalie is flashing gang signs and tagging your garage, let her have her fun and stop calling 311 on little innocent kids.

Drawball, social graffiti project

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 12:32:39 -0500

Drawball is a social art project in which users could contribute their own graffiti art to a community graffiti wall. You can no longer contribute to the wall, but you can watch a time lapse replay of the entire project as it progressed.

An electro-graf is a graffiti piece or throw-up that uses conductive and magnetic paint to embed LED display electronics.

Here is a complete DIY (pics included) on how to make your very own electro-graf.
