a tribute to mj stockholm style

without comments

This is the official clip from Bounce & Friends. More than 300 dancers met at 15.30, got informed and then
learned the choreography in 30 min. Less then 1 hour later they performed it.

invisible dogs

without comments

The very latest from Improv Everywhere. Who’s a good poochie? Youuu areeee! Yes! Youuu are!

For our latest mission, over 2,000 people walked “invisible dogs” down the streets of Brooklyn on a Sunday afternoon. The leashes were on loan from the current owner of 51 Bergen Street, the factory space where the invisible dog toy was invented in the 1970s. Participants of all ages spread out from Red Hook to Brooklyn Heights, very seriously walking their very silly dogs.

emoji dick

I love the emoji icons from the iPhone for its ability to convey complex emotions in simple cute icons. I love Moby Dick for its complex emotions and simple lessons conveyed in 212758 words. Now go help Kickstarter translate all 212758 of them into the emoji that we know and love!

the fourth plinth

without comments

I love Antony Gormley and now more so. The empty Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square has held many exhibits but this, I feel, would be the most engaging yet. Called One & Other, Anthony invites you, me, anybody to participate. Fly me to London please!

“Antony Gormley, the man behind Britain’s best-loved sculpture The Angel of the North, is inviting the people of the UK to occupy the empty Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in London. Every hour, 24 hours a day, for 100 days without a break beginning on 6th July, a different person will make the Plinth their own – an uninterrupted succession of 2400 volunteers creating a unique portrait of the UK in the 21st century.”
