There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
- Classical music underscores slow motion destruction in Jeremiah Warren's fascinating videos. Toy cars and defunct gadgets get pummeled by hammers, split with axes, and blown to smithereens. To detractors of this kind of fun, we would say, "Why not?" [From: Designboom]
- In the same vein as Stéphane Massa-Bidal's vintage book versions of social media sites, artist Robert Penney has re-imagined recent movies as classic video games. 'Cloverfield' and 'Snakes on A Plane' make the cut, but why not 'District 9'? [From: Kotaku]
- Yvette Yang's Fashion Font is constructed from mashing up couture lookbooks and magazines. Building a typeface from appendages and accessories seems a little niche, but the savvy among you may be able to spot 2007 Fall/Winter trends among the capitals and serifs. [From: Dezeen]
- An absorbing feature from HuffPo's Tina Daunt details the origins of Kubrick, the most famous (if slightly drab) Wordpress blog template. Since Kubrick is scheduled for retirement as the default WP pattern, take some time to get the inside scoop on this Web 2.0 game-changer and its love affair with '2001: A Space Odyssey.' [From: The Huffington Post]
