This collection of photos by French photographer Denis Darzacq is great – I don’t think anyone is really falling, but they are quite creepy nonetheless.

This rather amusing video turned up on Boing Boing.
Well – looks like it got pulled from YouTube – it was a video of a guy who had created some ridiculous body armour. He was inspired when attacked by a bear as a child. The video below is similar – well sort of 
It reminds me of a film I narrated for my cousin’s art project in Rauma, Finland:

So today I really wanted to do something. I had some small plans – get my haircut, upload old photos to my Zoto site, wash my bike, maybe buy some trainers.Well I started on the photo uploading and that took up a lot of time…
And I read some web comics. Never really looked at them before. But found a really good one by Scott McCloud that is well worth a look – The Right Number – it uses a very interesting method for displaying the frames on screen. Maybe it will only work this once with this comic, because it was designed at the same time the comic was written. But I really like the effect, and perhaps it can be put to use when I actually get around to writing a comic. Nowhere Girl also looks worth a look.
But first I’ve got to get my haircut, wash my bike, buy some trainers, and upload about 1000 photos from our trip to Tanzania which really should be out there…
Before I go, check out this rather cool film – mirrorised scene from Rashomon -very cool.
