Superchunk covers The Cure | Music | A.V. Undercover | The A.V. Club Pretty charming cover — by a band I’m sad to say I don’t know a lot about — of one of my favourite pop songs of all time. A bit thrashy, but it works. The drummer doesn’t quite nail Boris’s endless cute drum fills, and as the AV Club commenters note, the bassist is clearly bored out of her skull playing one of Simon’s, erm, simpler basslines.

Shaun Chapman added some lovely details to 0to255.com
Useful, elegant. Pity it has to use Flash for some of the additional functionality though.

SuitSat, one of the strangest satellites in the history of the space age, was a retired Russian Orlan spacesuit with a radio transmitter payload mounted on its helmet.
It was ejected from the International Space Station on February 3, 2006. It carried an amateur radio beacon that was activated in the two meter band. Using a simple police scanner or ham radio, you could listen to a disembodied spacesuit circling Earth. On September 7, 2006, at 16:00 GMT, Suitsat re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere over the Southern Ocean at 110.4° East latitude and 46.3° South longitude.
Beautifully eerie.

Almost absurdly rich in buzzwords, but real insights into Google’s troubles with social networking and the successes of Twitter, Foursquare, etc.

ALT/1977: WE ARE NOT TIME TRAVELERS on the Behance Network There’s a reason this site went viral in about 3 seconds flat. Stunning work.

One of the most most horrifying and bewildering stories I’ve read this year. Experimentation on six-year old girls. Staggered that the project passed any ethics committee on Earth.

Nick Caldwell is a professional web designer and unprofessional writer who thinks far too much about aesthetics, the contemporary sociopolitical condition, video games, Doctor Who, and spaceships. This is his Tumblelog.
