Daily View, 3/3

  • No kidding... Point Break LIVE... !!!! Will everything eventually become theatre? "The show has become an instant cult classic across the nation, and start practicing your Keanu-isms, because the starring role will be selected at random from the audience each night, and will read their entire script off of cue-cards!" Again... !!!!!

  • Apparently this man is making a decent living and gaining odd, translated art cred by creating flowers out of photographs.

  • Love Fred Astaire. Anytime there is an article I feel obligated to point it out to people. Slate links Fred Astaire and Louis Armstrong.

  • Must explore further: create your own ringtones with something called Pocket Fuzz.

  • There is now an iPod necktie. People commenting on this thoroughly ridiculous accessory mentioned jokingly that they were waiting for an iPod thong to come out next. And, lo, it became so (well, almost—the pod itself is wearing the thong). Anyway, it's one of many officially strange iPod accessories.

  • More DIY, this time Nintendo-flavored: Make Your Own Mario

  • The ex-perfume-slinger in me is stunned by silly shit like this.

  • "In 2004, Sasha Cagen published the book Quirkyalone, which tries to give a positive spin on Western solitude. A quirkyalone, says Cagen, is 'a person who enjoys being single (but is not opposed to being in a relationship) and generally prefers to be alone rather than dating for the sake of being in a couple.' In her first formulation of the idea back in 2000, Cagen calculated that 5 percent of the U.S. population are quirkyalones." Only 5% of us?? Momus waxes on.
