Happy Halloween…
\nFrom Peaseblossom<\/a>, two Thriller-related treats. One demonstrates how online video is pushing lip-sync into a new folk-artform, when what seems like a couple hundred students deliver an astonishing one-take performance of Thriller as the steadicam roams throughout their school, checking out the geeks, the jocks, the wasters, the band… even cooler is that it isn’t even in their native language. They’re all French, from IUT of Rouen<\/a>. Anyway, it is no surprise that I adore this.

LIP DUB IUT SRC ROUEN 2008<\/a> from arcanes-prod<\/a> on Vimeo<\/a>.
\nAnd for extra Thriller thrills, here’s Thrill the World<\/a>, a noble online quest to get people to dance the Thriller dance en masse – over 4,000 people took part around the world. There are many videos…
\nRemixing and snarking on daily comic strips is another big web past-time. My brother brought this online delight to my attention, and it is great fun: Marmaduke explained<\/a> in which the hidden depths of each Marmaduke cartoon are revealed. Ben likes this one in particular<\/a>. Oh that big dumb dog!
\n(Related: weirdly, Garfield Minus Garfield<\/a> has just been collected and released as an official Garfield book by the Garfield publisher<\/a>, with the blessing of Jim Davis.)
\nChris Cole, inspired by the Chema Madoz photos last week, emailed me a link to the breathtaking paper-folding artworks of Peter Callesen<\/a>. Just amazing – no glue or anything involved, just taking one sheet of paper and slicing into it then folding it up.

\nMichael’s comment on last week’s linky, finding one of the abandoned cities on Google Earth, introduced me to the Google Sightseeing blog<\/a> which visits all kinds of neat places around the globe. Here’s a giant kiwi design cut out of a chalk hillside in England<\/a>! Not as well-endowed as the Herne giant, but still kinda impressive.
\nAnd finally, this local news story gave me a laugh…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
