We're still feeling our Where The Wild Things Are high after seeing the film last month, unless we're mistaken, many of you are too. If you're still feeling the buzz from this imaginative childrens-book-turned-movie, you'll enjoy this time-lapse video of the characters coming to life a la chalk mural in the offices of Arnold DC, a Washington ad agency.


The video contains over 1,500 stills as the mural took over 11 hours to create!

Incredible. Though we were a bit sad to see that cool robot mural covered up in the beginning.

Life is full of things that just aren't fair, like bad traffic when you're already late, the person in front of you getting the last blueberry muffin, getting the flu the night of your big graduation ceremony, or in graffiti artist Tony Quan's case, becoming paralyzed from head to toe and no longer being able to do what you love the most, draw.

Tony, who suffers from Lou Gehrig's Disease, is not one to let something silly like paralysis stand in the way of his dreams. So he developed EyeWriterEyeWriter, the open source computer program that allows him to draw and create art using nothing but his eyes - the last body part he still has control over.

Learn more about the EyeWriter technology in the clip below from the documentary that tells Tony's amazing story:

The Eyewriter from Evan Roth on Vimeo.


Heaven forbid you should ever become paralyzed, it's good to know there are pioneers like Tony paving the way for future handicapped artists.

Today's youth and future generations are the ones that will be impacted the most if we don't get our act together internationally and locally to combat climate change. World Wildlife Fund put together this cute PSA featuring several youngsters talking about the action that needs to take place by the US prior to the upcoming UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen.


The conference will welcome representatives from over 192 countries as they discuss our overall plan of action to reduce emissions overall and stop the Earth's surface temperature from rising. As the video explains, there are three huge ways that we can cut carbon emissions and prevent further catastrophic disasters caused by global warming:

    1. Help developing countries cope with climate impacts.
    2. Give every nation access to climate-friendly technology.
    3. Save the world's forests, which keep CO2 out of the atmosphere.

If you want the US to take action and get involved in a global plan to combat climate change, share this video with your friends and speak up!

You guys seemed pretty stoked about Taylor Swift's hosting Saturday Night Live this past weekend, so now that the episode has aired, we want to know what you thought.

picture-15

True to her musical nature, the country cutie delivered her monologue via song... and it was still every bit as funny as we hoped it would be. It even included a couple of cheap shots at ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas and VMA-speech-ruiner Kanye West (who she also mocked in the promo)... plus, a not-so-secret shoutout to her rumored BF Taylor Launter from Twilight. Watch below:

Kanye West must be feeling a wee-bit sheepish right about now, don'tcha think?

What did you think of Taylor's appearance on SNL? Did she hit it out of the ballpark or should she stick to singing instead of comedy?

Can't get enough Taylor Swift? Get your fill of the record-breaking country crooner this week as she hosts AND performs as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.


picture-12

Taylor filmed this promo for the episode alongside cast member Bill Hader, and naturally, had to poke fun at the whole Kanye-VMA thing. (It's like the song that doesn't end... it just goes on & on my friend!) Oh yeah, it's also NSFW.

Are you planning on watching Taylor on SNL this weekend?

Whoever invented the Snuggie is a genius, plain and simple. You know it, we know it, even Weezer knows it - the band is jumping on the Snuggie bandwagon by releasing their own Weezer branded Snuggie with their new album, Raditude.

picture-61

The band put together this hilarious promo mocking the now legendary Snuggie infomercial, but offering fans a way to get their hands on a limited edition Weezer Snuggie - along with a copy of their new album, of course - for $29.99.


That's one way to market your new album! You can call the number in the video to take advantage of this offer, or you can just visit www.weezersnuggie.com.

Does this make you want to buy Raditude? Do you have a Snuggie?

If you were impressed by the kid who created his own version of Guitar Hero using a bicycle and some sidewalk chalk in his neighborhood, you're really going to be blown away by this. This promo video for the UK band Kasabian's new album recreates the game by creating giant buttons attached to the wall, which are "pushed" by soccer players kicking balls at them in time with the music.

picture-11

See the madness for yourself:


Pretty cool! What a creative way to promote an album.
