James PowderlyWeek In Famo #2
Welcome to the Week In Famo ROUND #2!
We’ll start with Digg again:
- The #1 most dugg article of the week with a whopping 14,292 diggs is You should never ask for help on the internet. One thing we know that the internet loves is sincerity, and I think part of this posts popularity is that you can really feel Peaveh’s pain as he is gotten by nerds with photoshop skills. Great example of title poetry as well.
- The #3 most dugg was Matt Damon’s Sarah Palin statement. Could be good re-mix material?
- Is this one really worth 6050 Diggs! I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again…. NERDS LOVE WORD PUNS.
- Cats will never go out of style on the internets:
- Palin/McCain tally = 13 in the top 30
- And here is some more evidence to support the nerds love signs theory:
Church signs scores 4,648 diggs, while the ’security’ sign scores 5,088 diggs.
Since we are after all in an MFA program I thought it might be worth while to take a departure into some art famo from last week:
From rhizome.org we have:
- How to make a perfect Malevich using only basic HTML:
- MGM (1975) – Jack Goldstein:
- Jonathan Schipper’s Slow motion car crashes:
- form study #9 (2008) – Robert Wodzinski
- vvork.com brings us this new one by John Michael Boling:

From we-make-money-not-art.com:
- Manifesta: the Chernobyl’d Matrioska
And moving right along to the world of BuzzFeed:
- The number one most viewed article of the week on BuzzFeed is…. Howard Stern auctioning off the virginity of 22-year-old San Diego student Natalie Dylan to help her finance her college education.
- Human catapulting:
- From the Internet Famous team that brought you Coke and Mentos:
EepyBird’s Sticky Note experiment from Eepybird on Vimeo.
- The Internet can’t get enough Kanye:
- Melted Sign:
- Freestyle Battle Rap Translated:
And a couple of personal favorites, and examples of solid one day projects:
- Every Photoshop Filter. This has high damn, I wish I thought of that value.
- And LHC Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment Webcams. Timely and well executed.
Squidoo lens building can be tricky when you take the extra step to customize your lens a little more than what the site offers as plug and play devices. If you’re knowledgeable about enough code to add a link here and there, then a Squidoo lens can help deliver lots of targeted traffic to your domain once it’s ranked well in Google.
