Want. As my coffee table, on my wall, on my monitor. I don’t care where it goes; I want it.

“Sick and tired of staring at Van Gogh’s Starry Night and being unable to manipulate it with your fingers? Enter: Greek digital artist Petros Vrellis and his interactive Starry Night animation.

Using openFrameworks, Vrellis transformed Van Gogh’s masterpiece into an interactive painting capable of rearranging itself through touch-sensitive gestures. Additionally, background music responds to changes in the animation’s flow.” Vimeo

Starry Night is my favourite painting ever out of every painting I have ever scene, so you can imagine my fangirl squeal when I saw this.

Want, want, want.

Erik Johansson may not be considered a true “photographer” by some because, as he states, he isn’t “at the right place at the right time.” Instead, he chooses to take a series of photos, and then edit them in a way to make viewers think twice.

I, for one, find these images highly creative works of art.

Sure, he’s a Photoshop user, and that isn’t uncommon these days. But no matter what program you use, you are always limited by your imagination- and this guy has a crazy one at that. I don’t even know how he thought of some these.

My favorite has to be the one with the road and the scarf combined to make one. Or maybe it’s the one where the guy is ironing himself…I just can’t decide!

Happy couple and new parents Beyonce and Jay-Z have released the first pictures of their new bundle of joy, Blue Ivy Carter. With those big eyes and a full head of hair, she’s already a media darling.

Five photos of the new baby were released on Tumblr – at http://helloblueivycarter.tumblr.com/ – and has a picture of Blue with each happy parent.

According to CBS News, “Beyonce and Jay-Z are the latest celebrities to shun big bucks from the tabloid press for exclusive rights to baby pictures and instead post the photos on a public website for free.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon debuted their twins in the same way last year.”

Pint sized British rappers Sophia Grace and Rosie proved they’re no one-hit wonders after appearing again on Ellen.

You might remember this adorable twosome from their viral cover of Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass.” This time around they’re breaking out a little Keri Hilson with “Turn My Swag On.”

Any haters who believe the cousins would be nothing without the songs of others should be silenced somewhere around the 1:40 mark. Here Sophia Grace breaks off into an autobiographical break with more passion than most adult rappers.

Someone sign these kiddies up now, or least that brunette one. She’s going to be a star!

Jimmy Kimmel likes to issue pranks to his viewers from time to time. The last I saw was his instruction to parents to pretend they had eaten all their kids’ Halloween candy. And he’s at it again.

This time Kimmel asked viewers to pull the plug, turn the TV off, or switch channels at an important moment during the Super Bowl. And record the resulting mess for us all to laugh over, obviously.

I find this video especially hilarious as I do not understand the level of interest some people have in sports. Support a team, fine. Go to a game, fine. But sit around focused on the TV as if life itself depends on it? Sad.

While most of the football fans featured take it well, several resort to violence. And I find that especially saddening. A football game is so important to you that you’re happy to injure someone who interrupts it? Get a life.

This video shows a father’s response to his daughter posting a rant against her parents on her Facebook wall. The ending is rather shocking and, to my mind at least, way over the top.

This guy’s 15-year-old daughter posted on her Facebook wall about how annoyed she was with her parents over the chores they make her do. She even used a mild swearword on a couple of occasions.

The father’s measured response? Read the post out on a video, shoot her laptop with live ammunition from a handgun, and then post it all over the Internet for the whole world to see.

Rather than give my full, unedited opinion about this video on here I’ll take to my personal blog instead. Suffice to say I’m astonished by the level of support this guy is getting. I think he went way too far.

Most of us offer cuddles and a sympathetic ear when our loved ones are feeling down. But not Hu Han-yan. This Taiwanese man shaved the image of Hello Kitty into his head when his father was feeling blue.

It seems like this unique pick-me-up worked a treat. Apparently the gloomy father laughed for several days after spotting his son’s unique do. Not content with that initial reaction, Hu Han-yan goes through some serious upkeep to ensure the image of the cartoon cat looks its best.

There’s something really strange about seeing anyone walking around with Hello Kitty hair, especially when it’s a middle aged man. But I’ve got to take my hat off to this loving sun!

This video shows A group of North Korean accordion players covering Take On Me. Who would have thought A-Ha had reached the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea?!?

This is just about the best cover of Take On Me I have ever heard. No, scrub that, this is the best cover of any song I have ever heard. It’s awesome, and really well choreographed.

This shows that North Korea is just another country, and its people are just like me and you. So the political system they live under is vastly different, but the people are not.

I have to say, though it’s probably not very PC of me, that I do like the comment on YouTube. Just as they finish playing you can hear a phone ringing, and someone joked that was probably “Kim Jong-un letting them know their families were killed because they played western music.”

Is this a video showing a woolly mammoth crossing a river in Siberia? Probably not, but it’s an intriguing possibility.

There are three possibilities here. 1. It’s actually a woolly mammoth. 2. It’s a hoax, either by way of intentionally blurring the video to hide the truth, or by the use of Photoshop. 3. It’s a misreading of the situation.

I think we can safely count out the first option. The woolly mammoth has been extinct for 4,000 years, it isn’t coming back. Which leaves a combination of numbers 2 and 3.

My guess is this is a bear crossing the river. Possibly carrying a fish in its mouth. Maybe the cameraman knows this, maybe he doesn’t. But why not keep everything ambiguous to sell a story and start a mystery?

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it’s that time of year again. You aren’t even out of Christmas credit card debt and you’re expected to fork out for something ‘romantic’. Why not try the cheaper route but get all the extra points for being thoughtful?

I’m not a fruit and chocolate kind of woman myself, but there is a big romantic stigma attached to chocolate dipped strawberries.

An alternative to choc-dipped strawberries on a plate is the always popular choc-strawberry bouquet. All you need are some fake roses. Chop the rose head off and stick the strawberry on there.

Voila. Happy Valentines Day.

The Hunger Games is promising to be the next big movie franchise when it hits cinemas in March. I’m sure we’ll see plenty of film-related viral vids at that time, but for now Holly Laurent is ahead of the rest with her Lana Del Rey song spoof “Hunger Games.”

This well produced video perfectly parodies the indie darling’s hit single “Video Games.” It looks the business, Holly Laurent’s note perfect in mimicking Del Rey, and the lyrics are very clever.

It’s almost enough to make me want to read those books, just to get all the jokes. Or perhaps I’ll need to revisit the video after the movie’s release!

We’ve all seen those ads extolling the virtues of various bodybuilding programs or health supplements. I used to look like this, and now I look like this. Voila!!!

It turns out we may have all been duped.

This guy, who goes by the name of Furious Pete (don’t ask me why), decided to test a theory. He took the After photo first, then did some horrible stuff to his body before taking the Before photo. And what do you know.

Even without the Photoshop enhancements there is a huge and very noticeable difference. Sadly the things he did in the five hours between the two photos are what I do each and every day. That’s right folks, I’m a walking Before photograph.

This video shows the first official trailer for The Bourne Legacy, the fourth Bourne movie but the first one not to feature the titular character of Bourne or Matt Damon.

Will it suck or be absolutely awesome?

If the trailer is anything to go on The Bourne Legacy is going to rock. Matt Damon is a loss to the franchise, without doubt, but Jeremy Renner is a ready-made replacement and a fine actor in his own right.

Tony Gilroy, who wrote the first three Bourne movies, wrote and directed The Bourne Legacy, which has clearly helped. And who knows, Damon could return as Bourne in the future. Perhaps teaming up with Renner to take down Treadstone!

The Bourne Legacy is due for release on Aug. 3. I’ll definitely be there.

This is a small clip from BBC taking a look at what makes an internet troll and trying to gain some insight as to why they do it.

I hardly know where to start with this one.

Some people may say that this video is pointless and why are they tracking down these people when there are murderers and rapists running around.

But I think it’s a valuable thing because there is a lot of internet trolling and bullying.

Not only has this caused/contributed to suicides, but it really shines a light on needing to examine what is wrong with society that people feel unfulfilled unless they try damaging other people.

He’s a sad man, to be sure.

“The BBC tracks down a notorious Internet troll. Catch the full episode here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/panorama/hi/front_page/newsid_9693000/9693594.stm “

No, it’s not what you’re thinking. It’s that they’re not having sex…

“…[A] survey, conducted by the Japan Family Planning Association, found that 36% of males aged 16 to 19 said that they had “no interest” in or even “despised” sex. That’s almost a 19% increase since the survey was last conducted in 2008.

If that’s not bad enough, The Wall Street Journal reports that a whopping 59% of female respondents aged 16 to 19 said they were uninterested in or averse to sex…” -YT

While it can be a giggle-worthy topic when you first hear about it – and Cenk doesn’t always help – this does have some very serious implications for Japan.

Maybe they’ll do what they did in Australia and start handing out baby bonuses.

Six months after Emmet Cole goes missing, a mysteries rescue beacon call from the Amazon encourages some friends and family to go in search of him. What they find when they get there causes more questions than provides answers…

In typical ‘mockumentary’ horror style, the ‘documentary’ crew follows the wife and son of Emmet Cole as they search for answers to his disappearance.

When the family reaches the lost ship, they find a lot of strange clues, like the beacon being attached to a shark cage in the water… and the shark cage looking like it was ripped open – from the inside.

It’s certainly a good start for mystery fans, but next week will show if it really caught audiences.

Mike Tompkins doesn’t need a band or backing track. In this video we see him take on the vocals and instruments of Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite.”

Through the power of some slick editing it all comes together beautifully. Tompkins’ voice isn’t quite as smooth as Taio’s, but his impressive beat boxing skills definitely make up for those shortcomings.

While the song’s great, make sure you stick around for the end when Tompkins explains how he does what he does. It might take away a bit of the mystery and magic, but it’s fascinating to see how a great video like this comes to be.

According to wikipedia, the largest known whale shark was 41.5 ft in length- the one that was found in Pakistan today was 40 ft.

The unconscious whale was sighted 10 days ago along the coast, and it wasn’t until today that it was pulled out with 5 cranes.

The sharks are illegal to hunt in India and it was stated in the local Karachi newspaper that the whale was already dead when it was pulled out of the water.

Pardon my pun, but something seems fishy to me about this story.

One of the best Super Bowl ads this year was Matthew Broderick’s Day Off, a spin on the classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off movie from 1986. But how do the two compare?

One video editor spent rather too long putting the new ad for the Honda CR-V next to the movie and comparing them shot-for-shot, side-by-side. And the result is fascinating.

This shows the lengths Honda and the advertising firm it hired went to to ensure the ad was accurate and memorable. It doesn’t quite make me want to buy a new car, but it does make me want to watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off again.

Was this your favorite Super Bowl ad or was there one you preferred watching more?

This video shows The Young Turks reporting on the ruling that Prop 8 has been ruled unconstitutional. This guy, Cenk Uygur, talks a lot of sense on the subject.

According to the panel of three judges, Prop 8 “violated the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment,” as it “serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples.”

What’s flabbergasting is that this is far from over. You’d think that once something had been ruled as unconstitutional that would be that. After all, the constitution is revered absolutely in the U.S. But no.

There will still likely be an appeal to this ruling, and until all due process is followed through this will not come into effect. So gay couples in California will have to wait a little longer before getting wed. Shameful.
