Another Digital Banksy...
I was recently digitally stalking BANKSY using the Way Back Machine and found that an early version of his site contained an original animated gif. For the betterment of mankind I have reformed the sliced up gif into a single gif and published it here. Above is the full gif and here is a version without the text.

Step 1: Download this image:

Step 2: Right click and select "Set As Desktop Background" (People on macs do whatever it is you people do). It should tile up properly and create the desired effect, see blow:

Skymall Liberation
Here is a fun way to waste a couple of hours on your next flight. Rip out all of the faces from the Skymall Catalog. You will see from all of their smiling faces that they are pleased with their liberation. The images can then be used to create data visualizations of Skymall demographics. Return the vandalized catalog to its home in the seat back in front of you for the next passenger to stumble upon. Photos on flickr here.
Non-White vs White
Men vs Women
Small to Big
Dark Hair to Light Hair
