As A Bee

Today I have a link rojak. This means that I have nothing much to write today. I was supposed to do some Featured post, but I didn’t because I’m still catching up on work. There is, however, light at the end of the tunnel, and normal service should resume very soon.

Fake Photojournalism

Two French students were awarded the annual Grand Prix du Photoreportage Etudiant last week to honor a photographic story that presented images documenting the precarious lives of students today and the things they must do in order to survive and succeed.

The only catch is that the entire story was a fake.

Well, I suppose this shows that you can make anything look like real news if you try hard enough. [via Chase Jarvis]

Chaos

The brain needs a little bit of chaos to work, it seems. [via New Scientist]

Guest Percussionist

James Wood played guest percussionist to Fayaway to celebrate the launch of Heavy Rotation. [via The Book Bench] Apparently, he got injured. [via The Elegant Variation]

If you follow the link from the New Yorker, you can see an interesting article on finger drumming. [via Opium Magazine]

You’ve Got To Be Kidding

It seems that people are interested in making an Asteroids movie. [via Kotaku]

I am particularly amused and sad that it says, “Seems Universal Pictures have won a bidding war against three other studios for the right to produce a movie based on Asteroids.” So it wasn’t just, well, you know, one movie studio. I’m not even sure what to say.

Lee Memorial

I’ve never heard of Lee Memorial before reading this short paragraph, but I have to say that after reading it I’m rather interested in finding out more. [via Josh Spear]

And now I have to go back to work.
