Auto-Tune the News

This is great. The Gregory Brothers have edited together clips from the news and have used Auto-Tune to make the newscasters and pundits sing their news, interviews and discussions along with the background music. They have also done political debates and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Their youtube channel is a treasure trove of delights.

The first one here is actually the second Auto-Tune the News video. Katie Couric’s section is very good. Seriously.

The best business card

Found a link to a pretty cool business card a guy made. The how-to is here and there’s a video showing it in action too.

Apparently you need a laser cutter so that’s a bit beyond reach but that doesn’t mean I don’t want one.

World of Goo Soundtrack

Kyle Gabler is one of the two people behind 2D Boy and the fantastic World of Goo. One of the many awesome things about the game is the music which Kyle wrote. They have now released the sound track and it is free. Go download it and listen because it is super awesome and several of the tracks are significantly longer than what is played in the game.
