These days Ted spends most of his time staring at a glowing rectangle. Except for the two hours a week he spends playing bass. It's actually a damn near perfect life.

You ever have a dream where you are a human-sized barbie doll with no genitals? Well, you will, after you click these. And yes, Virginia, there’s also a man.

The song’s fairly standard 6Ts-throwback, distorted-occasionally-French-vocal nonsense, but the video is just so, so good.

If you like artsy, outdoorsy photos of skinny naked people jumping into rivers, rollerskating, climbing trees and communing with bears — and I know that you do — you’ll like clicking through Ryan McGinley’s photographs. Warning: NSFW.

Here’s a simple game with a vertical orientation like R!se, but with the option to buy better powers in between rounds. The NASA-style letter at the beginning cracks me up.

Strictly speaking, this game is not fun, nor is it original in design. In fact, it is a straight rip of Space Invaders. And as it is meant to promote John McCain, I suppose it is not satire. But there’s just so much that is hilarious about a game where a "McCain" logo shoots the word "veto" at a block formation of ear-marked Pigs that I had to post it. The metaphor makes no sense — wouldn’t the pigs be hidden in Politically Difficult to Dodge Bills? — but the sad thing is that this is the McCain campaign’s attempt to be "cutting-edge" and appeal to the youth — Obama’s got a social network, and McCain responds with a rip-off of Space Invaders, a game that is older than the voters it’s supposed to woo.

Another new game from one-man factory Mateusz Skutnik, Warfare Transporter looks pretty as always, and its over-and-under attack plan is simple yet maddening.

I find these photoshop speed-painting videos hypnotic. This one’s a Jaguar. There’s also Albert Einstein and Jack Sparrow.

Chris Reccardi, who cut his teeth drawing for Ren and Stimpy, has another gallery show that just opened. As usual the work consists of futuristic scenes with a mod 6Ts sensibility.

Apparently this was nominated for an Oscar last year, but I just found out about it. The audio is from 1969, when 14-year-old Jerry Levitan found John Lennon in his hotel room and convinced him to record an interview. The digital animation, done in 2007, is kinetic and iconographic like mk12’s. But I liked it for its art style, which is very simple and personal. (via Create Digital Motion)
