New Yorker cartoons are famously not funny. Kanye West is famously not (intentionally) funny. Both think a little too highly of themselves. And both are getting taken down by comedy team Paul and Storm in #kanyenewyorkertweets.
Once Google became a daily and unconscious part of the day, I started getting the feeling that somehow it would be possible for search results to show, well, results…of things that had not yet happened. Ridiculous, no? Maybe not so much. Google (and a little outfit called the CIA) have invested in Recorded Future (Orwellian by way of Disraeli motto: “What we anticipate seldom occurs; what we least expected generally happens.”).
Recorded Future is a search engine (it seems to prefer to call itself a “temporal analytics engine”) with three boxes: What, Who/Where and When. The “When” is where things get interesting. Instead of the usual search field date restriction of the present, the “When” goes boldly into the future to scan everything from Twitter feeds to government documents to map patterns and forecast an outcome.
As you may have already predicted, the future isn’t free (it’s $149 a month).
Well this is just incredible. PhotoshopDisasters has been known for showing up some mightily impressive companies and advertising firms. Most notably Pixar and Ralph Lauren have both found themselves on the site. But for Dave LaChapelle do have been caught is simply shocking. See how PhotoshopDisasters “stumped” Mr. LaChappelle.
It’s the last few days of “Play Me, I’m Yours,” artist Luke Jerram’s itinerant musical project. Pianos have been set up in public spots in all five boroughs for anyone to play and engage in some real-life social networking.

Until July 5th
The animated GIF is the web designer’s 8-track. And like record players and other relics of bygone cultures they are making a come back thanks to Johnny Kelly and Mathew Cooper. It isn’t totally clear from the minimalistic site what the deal is, but they seem to have teamed up with Elisava School of Design and Soon in Tokyo to make this animated GIF playground
You can upload your own, construct them on the site or make them via your webcam. I assume they get placed in one of the many vacant slots on the homepage. Cool extras are the option to view a single GIF in all the slots or even download the whole thing as a screensaver.
