Last week, the internet decided that George Bluth was the Pope. You've all made a huge mistake. Oscar holy, Michael!

In anticipation of the season 3 premiere of Downton Abbey, I've begun a series of portraits based upon the memorable characters from the show. Depicted as dogs and cats, naturally. I am selling them as prints in my Etsy shop.

Future Earth's surviving bacteria colonizing Heathrow Terminal 5. A superior airport experience. A place to replicate & escape the heat.
So: a parody London Heathrow Twitter account, tweeting from an alternate, slightly less benign universe. Learn about Heathrow's sinister cosmic plans for expansion, upcoming Christmas specials, and the airport's occult connections with Ancient Egypt. Brought to you by that 0430 British Airways flight that swoops low over my house every morning and wakes me up.

A friend of mine rewrote a Daily Mail parody headline generator (originally in JavaScript) in Python to serve as input to an IRC bot. I rewrote it in Go as a parody Twitter account. It updates 3-4 times daily.

"On leaving the theater, you will be assaulted by baseball-bat-wielding ushers, who will pummel your skull until you forget what you have seen. Any remaining memories are yours to keep and enjoy."
I wrote the Shouts & Murmurs in this week's
New Yorker. It's a parody of those infernal anti-piracy announcements.

I'm teaching myself the blitting-centric Flash games library Flixel, and my Hello World program sort of got carried away and turned into this silly little platformer in which you try to collect favorites while avoiding the menacing flags. Fifteen levels in three worlds (blue, green, and grey), random fave and flag placement, and, in fine oldschool platformer fashion, compensating for it's shortness by being unfairly hard in spots. Features chiptune snippets of
matthewchen is Spamming and
Doing the Churlish Pule!

If want to live in a world where being a scientist is considered bad ass, and philosophers are worshiped like rock stars, so my newest lineup of t-shirts parodies famous band logos by re-purposing them to celebrate some of the world's most influential minds. Hope you enjoy them.

I decided to teach myself some python and CGI.
This is what came of it. It is a single serving page that delivers a markov chain of every deleted post's title, plus a markov deleted reason and some text from my comments made into a fake post description. In later versions, I may scrape deleted post descriptions so it's less disjointed than it is, but I don't want to think about how long it would take to scrape every deleted post, and if it could be done in a server-friendly fashion (I haven't done any back of the envelope math to see how it goes).

I saw the announcement video for Nintendo's new console, the "Wii U" yesterday morning, and immediately after that someone sent me a YouTube video of William Shatner's cover of Cee-Lo's "Fuck You". A terrible idea was thus born in my tiny brain, so I cranked this out yesterday afternoon. Enjoy.

Software blogger Joel Spolsky has
a new blog, where he discusses coal mining and its astounding parallels to software development and management.
"The other crucial thing about having a schedule is that it forces you to decide what seams you are going to choose, and then it forces you to pick the least safe corridors and cut them rather than slipping into pillar-robbing (a.k.a. slope creep)." [more inside]

In Los Angeles last week we discovered we had access to several of the props from the Sam Raimi film "Drag Me to Hell," as well as the locations where the film was made, as well as our friend Abbie Cobb (currently on Beverly Hills 90210), who was Alison Lohman's body double in the original film.
So we did what anybody would do. We remade the film from memory.

OK Go's
latest video (four guys playing with a bunch of dogs) instantly reminded me of something I might have seen in an old episode of
The Monkees. I Monkee-ified the soundtrack with a fitting song and made a few adjustments to the video to achieve this result. 1966 meets 2010!

The Tea Party might have a quasi-mainstream official platform, but it also seems to be a magnet for far right loonies, angry racists, borderline psychotics and those that are simply grossly misinformed. These shirts are for those fringe nutjobs that make the Tea Party rallies so much fun to read about. "Obama is right handed, just like Hitler. That's why I'm voting tea Party!"

A bizarre auto-mashup album I made today using Echo Nest Remix: it's a frankensteinien reconstruction of
The Downward Spiral using only a few minutes of audio from the show
Frasier.

It's Metafilter
2.0. Hopefully to blossom as a clearinghouse for absurdist mefi humor, including
bizarre flash apps. This is brand-stinking new; if I'm omitting some good self-reflective mefi blogs or stunts or misc. content, please let me know!
