April Fools joke becomes real: Tauntaun sleeping bag
Hannah Montana Linux. Say what? It’s on Sourceforge, man, I dunno. Blame @johnnieingram, he has a guilty look if you ask me.

Movie stunts that stuntmen rate highly – it’s a typically-undercooked Slate article but still of interest.
Ben found this: the proposal document for The Wire. Outlines season 1 in a lot of detail – most of the beats are familiar but there’s some major changes too. Direct pdf link

  1. Man, digging that Wire pdf. Aaron Barksdale, Stringy Bell, McArdle… it’s just not the same! Love the detail in this for what you say is just a proposal – so much depth already in there. Just the analysis of the city and the like…

  2. Interesting on the Stockholm tribute video that they encouraged participation from the crowd by having some of the core participants push through the crowd and join in after it had started – thereby, I imagine, making people more comfortable with the idea that they could also join in. Is this a common practice for this sort of thing?

  3. That last one made me throw up a little in my mouth….yuk.
    I have been toying with the idea of a high/low menu: haute cuisine preparations of home cookin’.
    Like: fried chicken oysters with handcrafted cheddar-black pepper corn veloute.
    I’d eat that.

  4. Jon: yeah, Ben liked stringy bell too!
    Jamie: I think it is common practice as far as these things go, but I’d guess it’s not really as strategic as that – I imagine they just figure “start small and get bigger” for aesthetic reasons, and the joining-in thing is just a side benefit. An important one though! Not that there’s been very many of these things anyway…
    Gator: I was thinking particularly of you when I posted that link. I mean say what now fast food chopped up and made to seem fancy breaks some cardinal rule of humanity.
