Hollis Brown Thornton's Nostalgic Art, ShadyURL Makes Your Links Look Scary

by Matthew Zuras on February 18, 2010 at 07:43 PM


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.
  • Hollis Brown Thornton's artwork examines the bits of culture left behind in the wake of the zeitgeist. VHS tapes, 'Space Invaders' and 'The Goonies' get treated with pigment transfer and markers to beautiful effect. We're sad and nostalgic at once. [From: PSFK]
  • Want to post a link that no one will ever click? ShadyURL is like Bit.ly but spits out terrifying-sounding links instead. Don't worry -- clicking on http://5z8.info/horse-slaughter_o7r5_taliban-meetup will only bring you back to the Switched homepage. Terrify your friends. [From: ShadyURL]
  • Brilliant lighting designer Marcus Tremonto teamed up with Kidrobot to make some sci-fi, limited-edition MUNNYs with colored lights shooting out of their various orifices. On display tomorrow at Kidrobot in New York, each Lightbot MUNNY will be signed and numbered for all you art toy collectors to enjoy. [From: KRonikle]
