“After organizing our bookshelf almost a year ago, my wife and I (Sean Ohlenkamp) decided to take it to the next level. We spent many sleepless nights moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto.”

A guy I met through Rental Car Rally a few months ago named Cesar Kuriyama is doing an interesting project — he’s taking one second of video of his life every day for one year, documenting his experience and point of view in micro-moments. He has gotten a bit of attention already, because he got into the audition rounds to give a TED Talk on the project. This video here is the trailer that got him selected by the TED Talks committee.
Cesar says he’s planning to launch a website where others join him in recording their own one-second-a-day videos. (Seems like something that would be right up a few Pie Heaven readers’ alley.)
Also…I happen to be in one of the shots in this promo video. I’m the guy dressed as a scientist standing next to the bicycle-riding robot — who is another Pie Heaven contributor, Tim Reese. It’s a quick glimpse of a 2am desert bicycle joust from Rental Car Rally: LA to Tahoe this past February.
Anyway, I wish Cesar luck with the project, and I look forward to seeing the finished 365 second video!

PS: Since we’re on the subject of Rental Car Rally, here’s a video that Cesar put together with footage from the LA to Tahoe rally. There’s another rally coming up at the end of June, LA to Vegas, and I encourage all of you in the SoCal area to sign up. It’s a blast.

I’ve seen a lot of footage of elephants painting before, but it’s always been very abstract, blotchy images. This elephant paints a recognizable picture of another elephant…and opens up a lot of questions about animal intelligence and artistic expression. Pretty remarkable.

Twenty years of The Simpsons has made them stiff. Interesting how the animation style has changed.

“In the garden of my house there’s a tree with lots of randomly grown twigs. It looks odd and nice at the same time. One day I asked myself if I could create a piece of music with it.” (Thanks, Charles)

“Reuben Margolin, a Bay Area visionary and longtime maker, creates totally singular techno-kinetic wave sculptures. Using everything from wood to cardboard to found and salvaged objects, Reubens artwork is diverse, with sculptures ranging from tiny to looming, motorized to hand-cranked. Focusing on natural elements like a discrete water droplet or a powerful ocean eddy, his work is elegant and hypnotic.”

New from the creator of “Rejected” — Nigel gives in to his friend’s innocent request. “Wisdom Teeth” is an unnecessary new five minute cartoon that Don drew in between more important things.
