"I'm having a little get together with some of my friends...." I found this bizarre and disturbing little flash-movie a few months ago. The first link is actually the
second installment in what is now five episodes. There's more (including the first through the fifth) on
his site.
The music is phenomenal- bits of spookiness from
sigur ros and
aphex twin.
When you're all done, there's an interview with the author regarding Salad Fingers
here. People are still trying to figure out exactly who the character is and where he's from. If you look and listen carefully, there are literary references, anagrammed names, etc.
If you liked Salad, you might also like
"Hell"(non-flash)

Introducing: Metal Rubber. "Twist it, stretch it double, fry it to 200°C, douse it with jet fuel—the stuff survives. After the torment, it snaps like rubber back to its original shape, all the while conducting electricity like solid metal." Sounds
familiar, no?
Here's the son of the Roswell air field's intel officer, describing the debris he says he saw in 1947: "It was possible to flex this stuff back and forth, even to wrinkle it, but you could not put a crease in it that would stay, nor could you dent it at all. I would almost have to describe it as a metal with plastic properties."
The UFO freaks are already
all over the "back engineering" of Roswell crash debris.
Meanwhile,
there's something unusual in the sky over Minnesota right now.

The return of
Ralph Snart...to the
web and to
print! This is Marc Hansen's outrageous story of a mild-mannered alcoholic accountant gone completely mental, featuring
Dr. Goot (evil scientist and nemesis),
Mr. Lizard (thanks to radioactive crickets) and
Holly Hornswoggle (evil lab assistant and love interest). It originally ran from 1986 to 1994 and of course there is always the obligatory
unofficial site.

Attacked By Thugs! -
Maciej Ceglowski is accosted by young, dorky thugs in Warsaw. After flagging down a van full of police to report the incident, frenzied pursuit-driven hijinks ensue. Almost makes me want to move to Poland and become a cop. Anyone have any sort of similar, amusing, crazed police experience?
(I realise there are plenty of non-amusing, crazed police stories out there too, unfortunately.)

Will humanity come together to overcome our space enemies? Or is
this a publicity stunt for
Signs 2:Electric Boogaloo? Or is it
nothing at all? Still, what the heck is Mexico doing telling everyone about
this? I mean seriously now:
“Hundreds of videos (of UFOs) exist, but none had the backing of the armed forces of any country.... The armed forces don't perpetuate frauds.”
Mr. Maussan said Secretary of Defence Gen. Ricardo Vega Garcia gave him the video April 22.

The Floating Neutrinos have managed to cross the Atlantic in a
raft made from recycled materials recovered from dumpsters and docks in New York city.
Their next project is an
Orphanage Raft, "for street orphans from third world countries such as Brazil, African countries, and India. The children will be those who are living in and surviving on the streets, with literally no one looking out for them or taking responsibility for them. We will get to know them and their situation thoroughly before they ever come to the raft. We are not looking to pick up runaways or anyone who has responsible adults in their picture...Once onboard, if they choose to stay, they will be given a floating, travelling home, and an education."

September 12: A Toy World "September 12 is a free Shockwave game where players try to solve the terrorist problem - a sort of editorial cartoon rendered in simple simulation." It's not really much of a simulation, and the 'argument' is simplistic to the point of inanity. But as a new medium, interesting. (via

Digital Fiction attempts to make something artistic using Flash. Monochromatic darkness, crazy writing and some weird visual effects.
