TEDxBerlin - Fabian Hemmert - 11/30/09 (via TEDxTalks) “So what we have seen are three ways to make the digital graspable for us - and I think making it physical is a good way to do that. What’s behind that is a postulation, namely not that humans should get much more technical in the future rather that technology a bit more human.” Turns out it was (a). According to the New York Times’ Bits blog, Chatroulette’s founder is a 17-year-old in Moscow named Andrey Ternovskiy — and judging by his e-mail to them, he seems awesome. He loves “minimalism” and wants to keep the site from being dominated by ads. He codes everything himself, so as Chatroulette’s user population has exploded, he’s had to recode over and over to keep up. He says amazing things like, “Bandwidth bills show sums which shock me as a teenager, but I am not very worried.” He hosts the site on servers in Frankfurt, Germany, mainly as a symbolic gesture, because it’s roughly halfway between Russia and the U.S. (He’s never been to America but would like to visit.) And, for the record, he’s not onboard with all the masturbation and mock suicides: “Some people are using the site in not very nice ways — I am really against it.” Hold Your Horses - 70 Million (via patozao) “ Clip de 70 Million, chanson du groupe franco-americain Hold Your Horses ! produit par L’Ogre, mettant en scène les membres du groupe dans un voyage à travers l’histoire de l’art.” I especially enjoyed their interpretation of David’s Marat Assassiné. 
Hold Your Horses: Name That Painting Théodore Géricault, The Raft of the Medusa (1818-1819). The giant canvas is at the Louvre in Paris. thedailywhat: DJ Ruth Flowers — the 69-year-old French party scene sensation — talks about how she got turned on to turntables at her grandson’s birthday party.

Alex AinslieHi, I'm currently studying at Cornell University in the College of Arts and Sciences, finishing an independent BA in Computing, Cognition, and Aesthetics and an MEng in Computer Science. I have spent the past three summers at Google working on mobile maps and gmail, suggest, query refinements, social search, and most recently goggles and mobile local search. This site was born as a personal photo journal during a semester spent abroad in Paris and has evolved into a curated collection of links, code, videos, music, text, and images.
