A Glimpse into the Future of Computers?

DAILY MUSE | Remember the computer that Tom Cruise stood in front of in the movie “Minority Report”? Well there may be one just like it coming to a computer store near you. Check out this video of an amazing new computer screen technology currently being developed.

Spontaneous Commmunal Performance Art

DAILY MUSE | via flashmobvids | I’d heard of Flash Mobs, but never by name. My first exposure was a brief mention on NPR and an obscure but curious XBox TV commercial which ran briefly on air afew years ago. Each account fascinated me. The NPR report conjured up that voice in me that longed for urban living, just so I could participate in one. The TV ad documented a fantastically complex make-believe-urban- shoot-out which made me long for childish innocence and foolishness.

Wikipedia describes a Flash Mob as “a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disperse. They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks.” People often congregate in mob for only a few minutes and then continue on with their day.

Tony vs. Paul vs. I can’t Stop Laughing!

DAILY MUSE | “Tony vs. Paul” is perhaps the Combined Funniest, Most Creative & Inventive video on YouTube I’ve seen so far. It looks to me like it was their summer break project. You know that they must have had a blast making it — then watching it for the first time. I think I’m gonna watch it again right now. | via bookbabie

Tony and Paul’s MySpace site (Apparently they are working on another movie and they will post progress on their MySpace site. Not sure if this is an impostor.)

UPDATE | I stumbled upon this article in the Medford, MA town newspaper, hometown of Tony and Paul, describing the background of the video. It looks to me that this is one of the people claiming to have worked on it with them.

Ken Burns Discusses Frank Lloyd Wright

DAILY MUSE | Since yesterday’s post “The Six Million Dollar House” I snooped around the web for more interesting info/media on Frank Lloyd Wright- my first architectural hero. I found this Charlie Rose interview with Ken Burns discussing Wright and Burns’s documentary on him. (The Wright discussion is in the first 20 minutes followed by other interviews).
