morreu o cartunista Will Elder aos 86 anos [sempre digo que me reconforta saber que em geral os caras desse meio duram bastante]; ele foi um dos grandes da MAD na época áurea da revista, e foi parceiro de Al Jaffee, Russ Heath, Jack Davis e Harvey Kurtzman. apesar da tristeza do fato, ele deixou uma longa lista de serviços prestados às boas HQs e à arte do cartum. dá só uma olhada em alguns poucos:

OMODAKA is the name of the project developed through a trial and error process of mutational fusion of music and motion graphics. It will knock over your existing image toward a music video by a beautiful trajectory.
The “Amen Break” is 5.20 seconds long in four bars. It was created and performed by Gregory Cylvester Coleman in the 1960’s funk-and-soul band The Winstons in their song “Amen, Brother”. (They’ve never received royalties from the hundreds of bands which have sampled and used their creation.)

Having looked at the geometry of the Golden Ratio a great deal, and its expressions in worldwide art, I have a decent sense of its place along a line. The Amen Break had that feel. For a quick check I used homemade Golden Ratio calipers to examine the peaks. Indeed, peaks pop up at Golden Ratio intervals, as do smaller peaks within them, reminsicent of the fractal structures in nature.

Human bodies and created sounds, like flowers, crystals and galaxies, can never exactly equal any ideal mathematical template. But the major wave peaks of the Amen Break, and many of its smaller ones, seem reasonably close to being an expression of the fractal nature of the wonderful Golden Ratio. I wonder what it would sound like if it was more precisely proportioned to the ideal, but I also know that slight differences are what make it human and alive.
hoje tô num estado de espírito “vai tomar no cu, internet”, então tó:
um vídeo pornô que a BBC fez sumir através de processo e que mostra os alienígenas Daleks abduzindo garotas cujo único traje são as sandálias de stripper.
Final proof that there’s a fetish for everyone: the Daleks, the genocidal cyborgs from Doctor Who, starred in their own porn video a few years ago — and it turns out those egg-whisk guns of theirs have a setting we never knew about. Abducted By Daleks had barely gone on sale before the BBC sued and banned it out of existence. Copies are now incredibly rare — but well worth hunting down, if only for the amusement value.
