Apparently there's a different way to lace your shoes if you're cycling, moto-crossing, just plain looking weird....

Many different ways to lace your shoes

"Louisville artist Matt Gatton started thinking of primitive people hunkering inside caves and arrived at a radical, quite possibly revolutionary and insistently plausible theory of the origin of representational art.

It struck Gatton, a St. Francis High School art teacher, that the question of how Paleolithic people got the notion to create representational art could be answered by their living conditions. Holes in the animal hides that covered their dwellings could have projected images from outside -- a phenomenon of physics we now call camera obscura. The people could then have traced the images onto their cave walls."

I do think I understand marketing and public relations, and I am astounded by the naivete of young people — black and white — who actually buy the canned rebelliousness not just of rap music but of most pop music.

It's all such an obvious con game. We hear so much about how kids today are cynical, skeptical, media-savvy and so forth. But if they're buying this hooey, they're idiots.

I/O Brush is a new drawing tool to explore colors, textures, and movements found in everyday materials by "picking up" and drawing with them. I/O Brush looks like a regular physical paintbrush but has a small video camera with lights and touch sensors embedded inside. Outside of the drawing canvas, the brush can pick up color, texture, and movement of a brushed surface. On the canvas, artists can draw with the special "ink" they just picked up from their immediate environment.

Very cool. The "Moving Canvas" video is also worth watching.

The challenge? Take any movie and cut a new trailer for it — but in an entirely different genre. Only the sound and dialogue could be modified, not the visuals, he said.

Mr. Ryang chose “The Shining,” Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror film starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. In his hands, it became a saccharine comedy — about a writer struggling to find his muse and a boy lonely for a father. Gilding the lily, he even set it against “Solsbury Hill,” the way-too-overused Peter Gabriel song heard in comedies billed as life-changing experiences, like last year’s “In Good Company.”
