Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at Pompei A.D. We hope you have a better meal than Brutus did.

Journey

Can’t wait for Journey to be released for PS3. I love experimental video games, and this one’s gorgeous to boot.

Watching movies through brain scanning

It sounds like science fiction: While volunteers watched movie clips, a scanner watched their brains. And from their brain activity, a computer made rough reconstructions of what they viewed.

Scientists reported that result Thursday and speculated such an approach might be able to reveal dreams and hallucinations someday.

Woah.

Warm Up.

In my book, it’s not officially summer until the first Warm Up at MoMA PS1, which means summer starts this Saturday. Warm Up is PS1’s dance party series in their courtyard, underneath a new architectural installation every year. Check out this year’s lineup at PS1’s website.

+Pool

A very “pool” thing happening in new york city — a floating pool that you can swim in, AND filters our waters! AND you can donate money to help make it happen!

Cough drop pep talk

I just noticed that Halls puts short encouraging quips on their cough drop wrappers. A clever way to inject some lightheartedness into a product meant for someone not feeling their best.

Marcus Wallander Creative made this awesome motion-tracking, forced-perspective window display for WeSC.

Convict fish

Watching the BBC’s Life this weekend, I was constantly amazed by its sheer visual beauty. A quick example: this school of convict fish.

T-shirt lifecycle

I wear a t-shirt almost every day, and this is pretty much the exact lifestyle of my shirts.
