Schizophrenic Leanings - Split Films :)
Are there any films that were made to be watched at the same time, say, on a second TV, as other, related / opposing / complimentary films? Separate soundtrack visuals or somesuch perhaps?

I'm currently studying graphic design and I've been given a job creating infographics for a business magazine. I know my way around Illustrator but I don't really know anything about creating infographics.

Sweep the Leg
is a new music video by the band No More Kings. It is a parody of
The Karate Kid and it was directed by
Johnny himself. There are a couple of other funny cameos in the video as well.
This is also related to a cool list of the
best villains from 80s movies (Where Johnny is noticeably absent).
Oh, and Johnny (William Zabka) was nominated for an Oscar last year.
Via.

There are so many ideas I can think of for websites, but don't have the full skills (or time to learn the skills) to generate the Php/Mysql code and interaction. Is there a good application that can create the coding and website for me, if I give it the right information?

I was wondering if there are some accepted, current standards or design guidelines for web applications.
In particular, I'm wondering about such things as target screen resolution (i.e., don't go wider than 800 pixels), color depth (make everything work at 256 colors), color choices (stick to things like 0xXXYYZZ, where X Y and Z are one of 0, 3, 6, 9, C, and F).
specific answers or pointers to resources are much appreciated.

Some tech guy once told my wife that leaving your computer tower on the floor will destroy it. His solution was to raise the tower up an inch or two off the floor. That's the part I doubt. I know computers suck in a lot of dust. Does raising them up that little bit really help much?

Get in on the stream while there's space,
because Autechre is doing a boomtastic live DJ set full of 80s electronica, mashed up weirdness and god knows what else... more links posted in the thread as I think of them but I have to hit post now because it's time sensitive.

La Jetée.
Following the postapocalyptic bleakness of the
Threads posting, you may wish to watch
La Jetée,, a 28-minute film told nearly entirely in stark black-and-white photos (and, in this version, with an English narration). This has quite a
following, especially since Terry Gilliam's eerily similar
12 Monkeys.

I've heard from 3 independent sources now that there is some benefit to eating within 15 minutes after a strenuous workout. What are the benefits of this? What's the basic physiology of it?

The IT Crowd
is a sitcom produced for
Channel 4. Although it follows the traditional laugh-track sitcom format, it manages to have some
really funny moments. Season one was only six episodes, but season 2 is due to start this January.
Chris Morris is particularly good as the CEO, Denholm. Full episodes can be found on
YouTube and
Google Video.

The idea of treating everyday, ambient noise as music is
not terribly new, but
Noah Vawter's device
turns ambient sounds
into music
(in a somewhat more traditional sense of the word):
Ambient Addition is a Walkman with binaural microphones. A tiny Digital Signal Processing (DSP) chip analyzes the microphone's sound and superimposes a layer of harmony and rhythm on top of the listener's world.

What made you quit grad school? What was the deciding factor? How did you know it was time to go? Subtle signs? Did your advisor say 'go away'? If you stayed, when did you feel like quitting?

I find that learning from visual reference (diagrams, animations, movies) is very effective for me. I'm looking for some good online resources that will help me utilize this.

I'm looking for examples of awesome-looking information displays. This can be anything from interesting OSs, "command center" control displays, and information software that is graphically impressive in its visual design. An information screen/program that makes you go "wow" on looks alone, whether public or proprietary. Any screenshots? I hope I'm describing this right.

If you've been to Barcelona and if you've seen the movie Auberge espagnole, L', would you say that the movie does a good job of depicting what the city is like?
