Try as they might, British reformers are much too quaint and humble to really ruffle anyone’s feathers (nudge nudge) with their political attack ads.
Kudos to Wifey Duck for a remarkable Terry Jones impression.

This is one of the most informative lectures about the internet that you will ever consume. Jonathan Zittrain not only de-mystifies the processes by which information travels from one site to another, but he lays out an ethos that the Internet operates by in violation of every Darwinian Rule of Human Interaction that you have ever learned.

This Japanese site will take any portrait-like picture that you upload and automatically convert it into a blinking, nodding, quasi-zombie animated template ready to model various animal heads, wigs, and facial hair.

This mashup via “directorial collective,” Crush, is comprised of over 400 intertwined video pieces. The result is a little overwhelming — it’s hard to know where to focus your attention.

The Emu Peck of the Week is a new weekly feature on TMR that will point you to something on “teh intrawebs” that especially stands out, and/or pleases the Giant Flying Beaver That Rules the Universe.

In the first ever installment of the Emu POTW, I’d like to bring your attention to an amazing little website called FUH2.
