With all due respect to Ms. Spears, hearing Ke$ha sing the fairly awesome second Femme Fatale single just makes sense.

Drawingmachine by Eske Rex from Core77 on Vimeo. I love the way this thing looks like a cross between some kind of medieval engineering project and the best playground equipment ever. Made by Eske Rex—a Swedish-born designer who’d never heard of the toy Spirograph—it’s based on a piece of 19th-century technical equipment. Instead, he was inspired by the harmonograph, a mid-19th century mechanical apparatus… Broadcasting platform : Vimeo Source : Boing Boing Discovery Date : 20/04/2011 15:24 Number of articles : 4

crossposted on Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters In all honesty, I don’t believe that the entire tea party movement is racist. I believe it’s a naive movement which allowed itself to be co-opted by the wealthy powers that be, but that’s another argument entirely. What I do believe, however, is that the tea party movement houses vindictively racist elements who can’t get over the fact that an African-American… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Pam’s House Blend Discovery Date : 20/04/2011 20:12 Number of articles : 5

Last night during 30 Rock and American Idol Warner Bros. premiered a new TV spot for Green Lantern, but the spot was really more of a recut trailer. At 1:30, it is essentially a shortened version of the WonderCon footage that was shown off not long ago. But there are a few new bits sprinkled here and there in this edit. and it is good to see that Green Lantern looks like a properly cosmic, more than… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : /Film Discovery Date : 22/04/2011 15:29 Number of articles : 4

Aw, it’s enough to make the erstwhile Green Jobs czar Van Jones proud. From Fox Nation comes this video of young students singing an earth day song at the Riverwood Elementary School in Tennessee. The song contains lyrics like “Recycle, bicycle, don’t drive by yourself / don’t buy those plastic products on the supermarket shelf” and “Boycott, petition, let the big business know / that if we mess it… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Blaze Discovery Date : 22/04/2011 03:14 Number of articles : 4

April 23, 2011 No Comment
The past 36 hours have been part of what was probably the slowest news cycle of the year, so why not throw out two more short trailers for X-Men: First Class? They’re basically cut from the same mold as the one we saw earlier this week, with perhaps one or two glimpses of new stuff. Usually that wouldn’t be notable, but one of the new shots shows Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) putting his powers into… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : /Film Discovery Date : 22/04/2011 22:15 Number of articles : 4

If you’re like me, your heart will stop about a minute into this video. I gasped. This is Matthias Giraud and Stefan Laude who apparently get a thrill from some backmountain skiing. They also get a thrill from recording their adventures on helmet cams. On one recent adventure, they captured “some of the most incredible content seen by GoPro as they hit the Alps like true heroes skiing the French backcountry… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Blaze Discovery Date : 22/04/2011 15:21 Number of articles : 4
