So this friend of mine who I miss terribly has literally seen everything on the internet. Whether this is something to be proud of is debatable. But the fact remains, I never get to say "Hey have you seen blah de blah" without receiving an affirmative response.

BUT! Today because I am wasting time looking for things that cheer me up, I discovered that my favorite animation on the world wide web is back online.

The Stringberg and Helium series was created by Killing my Lobster and Milky Elephant.

Good web art is a difficult find. Which is why this dude (Jonathan Harris) is so shocking. Prolific in his output and always getting to the heart of whatever phenom he's making art about.

My brother just sent me a link to We Feel Fine

Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world's newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases "I feel" and "I am feeling". When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the "feeling" expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved.
