Many Forms of Art
This site contains tons of photos taken from the 2004 Tokyo Style in Stockholm show. I know it's a bit old, but there is so much good stuff here, that I wanted to share it. There is art for everyone here. The only bad thing is that the site seems to load a little slow. You can just visit 2dk Co. to see all of their other exhibitions too.

If you like street art, then you should check out Graffiti Research Lab. This site is dedicated to the art of graffiti. They develop and test experimental technologies for graffiti artists. If you check out the site, you will see understand what that means.

20 Short Animations
Labaratory 101 has collected 20 short animation that "You need to see before you die." I definitely recommend you take some time out of your day to watch 'em. One thing though, is that a lot of them you have to click on the video to go to Youtube to watch and several others are no longer available but there are still enough to check out.

Lunar - Hybrid Awaken
I'm not sure if Lunar is a band or just one person, I think it's the latter, but the music is pretty good. According to Lunar, the music is experimental. He is not a fan of mass produced music and likes to combine genres to create new ones. The songs on the site are pretty good, to me anyway, because I'm sure some won't like it, but if you want to listen to the full album, go here.

FlOw
If you own a Playstation 3, then you have probably played this game by downloading the free demo at the Playstation Store. That's actually what made me want to find this game on the internet. I played this game a long time ago when someone sent it to me in an email, but I just deleted the email and went on with my day. Then, about a week ago I downloaded FlOw on the PS3 and remembered that I played this game on the internet before. I looked it up in Google and there it was. Now you can play it too, if you can't afford the ridiculously priced Playstation 3. Play FlOw here.

Lets Get Drunk
If you are having a party and need to figure out how much beer you need, there is a new tool just for you. The Kegulator will calculate how much beer, how much ice, and how many beers you will need based on a few simple settings. All you have to enter is how many people will be drinking, how drunk these people will probably be and then hit the button.

Second Life + Myspace = Kaneva
If you are one of those social network addicts, you will probably like Kaneva. It is a cross between Myspace and Second Life. You can create a profile and modify it they way you like and add a blog, music, and videos to personalize it. Then you can create a character and use it in a 3d world similar to Second Life. One thing to note. The 3d virtual world needs to be downloaded to work and it is only compatible with Windows XP so if you own a Mac, you are out of luck.

Art and Music Come Together
Not like it is an original concept but this fun little program is pretty cool. Visual Concepts is a program that allows you to paint reactive music in real time. You have a variety of brushes to choose from to create your music and several other options to customize your improvised performance.

Advertising In Your Favorite Videos
There is a new service, new to me anyway, that changes the way you make or watch your videos. Compulsion will place links inside of your video so that people can click inside of it and it will take them to a website. An example would be if you were watching a video and liked the hat that someone was wearing. You can click on the hat and you will be taken to the website where that hat can be purchased. I didn't contact them for prices so if you are interested in their services or want to see how it works, visit their website. If you like this idea, you might also be interested in a service called BubblePly. You can add little pop up bubbles that say whatever you want them to in videos you post to sites like YouTube and MetaCafe. I don't know if you can use this with affiliate marketing, but you can look into that yourself, or if you own a website it can draw in some traffic.

Carlos Menstealia
I probably hate thieves more than anything in this world and Carlos Mencia is one of them. He has been known to steal jokes from many different comedians including Bobby Lee and George Lopez. Joe Rogan has called him out and has been banned from his local comedy club for it. Check out the video below.
