100 meters of photo

Photographer Simon Høgsberg creates a slice of everyday life with his photograph entitled We're All Gonna Die - 100 meters of existence. In his own words:

"This image is 100 meters long (100m x 78cm).

There are 178 people in the picture,
all shot in the course of 20 days
form the same spot on a railroad
bridge on Warschauer Strasse in
Berlin in the summer 2007.

Only few of the people on the
photograph seemed to know I was
taking their picture."

Coraline Movie Trailer

This is the trailer for Coraline, a truly handcrafted film directed by Henry Selick. Based on the best selling novel by Neil Gaiman, this is the first stop motion feature film to be shot in stereoscopic 3D. If this reminds you of A Nightmare Before Christmas, it may be because Selick also directed that film.

This Gates Isn't Rich (Anymore)

From CNN:

"Michael Gates Gill was a high-flying, six-figure-earning advertising executive years ago before he was abruptly fired. He had created huge campaigns for companies like Christian Dior and Ford and lived an even bigger life, with luxury automobiles, lavish vacations and fabulous clothes.

These days, however, he's traded his $3,000 Brooks Brothers suits for khakis and a green apron; the big bucks for a $10 an hour job as a barista at Starbucks. But Gill says he couldn't be happier."
