The telephone service Grand Central is a neat idea. If you’re looking for an invite, try this link. It works as of March 6th, 2008.

Take a look around the inside of an Airbus A380 cockpit.

It’s a bit slow loading, but this page has images showing 40 Movie References From The Simpsons. I was surprised that I had not noticed a few of these as movie references before.

The Whitney Music Box is a cool idea that I can’t explain properly. Read more about it here.

As noted before, I’m a fan of Improv Everywhere. One of their newer projects has people all stopping movement at the same exact time in Grand Central Station. Well done, it’s quite surreal.

This weblog of World Images doesn’t have a ton of entries yet, but what’s there is worth seeing.

If you’re at all interested in the protests against The Church of Scientology (not the religion mind you) happening tomorrow (today? well the 10th anyways) here are some links of interest:

Something Awful Protest Report Thread

Twitter: The Perth Raid (one of the first protests due to the time zone). Nothing is there as of this writing, but I expect good things.

Anonymous vs. Scientology (Part Deux!). The first Something Awful thread on the subject reached 200 pages and then this was opened. Talk of live protests start around the page linked here. You can also start at the beginning and spend the day there if you like.

Post-Game. A forum on Enturbulation for after/during the protest reports.

This video of Andrea Vadrucci drumming to the music of Super Mario 2 is crazy. His drum set is gigantic and some of the beats here are amazing.

Track speed traps using this nifty Microsoft Maps “mashup”.

Pardon the lack of updates this week. I’m back though, really!

The Government Attic has some great documents released via the freedom of information act. The FCC complaints make for scary and interesting reading.

Kent Rogowski’s collection of teddy bears turned inside out is sure to horrify most children who see them.

This collection of “The Most Amazing Guns in the World” has some way out ones. While I am not even close to a fan of weapons, I admit the crucifix gun is pretty sweet.

An art mashup: half famous face and half money.

Feel bad about stealing music? Dear Rockers tries to put you a bit more at ease. Oh, you’re still a thief though.

I don’t remember if I’ve linked to Futility Closet before, but if I did this is a reminder to check it out. A great site, it’s full of random information, stories, mathmatical equations and lots more. Very nice.

Relive moments in history using animated maps. Quite neat.

Learn a bit about some of your favorites in the Color In Motion online exhibit. Damn you purple and your aloof, arrogant, conflictive and cruel self.

If the The Overdub Tampering Committee is to be believed, this is pretty awesome.

Take a trip through time to the era of The Workhouse.
