Found from Kottke.org (which I probably check more than any other website), here’s a great video about bicycles and how they stay up while moving when NOBODY IS ON THEM. Physics + Bikes = Fun and Awesome!

I can’t decide if humor about hipsters (which I’m not above by any means) is getting as old as the hipsters themselves or not. Either way, this was pretty funny. Found on LaughingSquid:

The Super Art Fight show we had in Boston? Here’s some video. Thanks to everyone who came out for the show!

I was collecting my thoughts on Google+, the new social media OMG media social twitter facebook friend place thing, and came across this XKCD comic. I get Mr. Munroe’s point (also seen above in the first three panels) but had to add on my take on the situation. I’m sure you’re already familiar with XKCD, but of course, credit where it’s due. Go check it out.

Also, posted this on my new Google+ (link to my profile). Yes, I signed up anyway. I mean hey, it’s not Facebook.

Post your Google+ thoughts in the comments.

Oh, and I do sell this t-shirt. Just sayin’.

Thanks to all who came to Super Art Fight in DC this past weekend! We had a great show. The highlight for me was rapping on stage. As I mentioned on Twitter, I sang a fair amount of Partners in Kryme’s hit T-U-R-T-L-E POWER. And luckily for you, there’s video evidence:

Comicsgirl also posted what’s probably the best recap of what it’s like to attend a Super Art Fight show. Check out her review here. My favorite part was how she described the commentary. It’s not my favorite because it’s about me, it’s my favorite because I think she nailed it:

Nover, along with fellow host Marty Day, kept the action moving. They have a teasing and affable rapport with each other and are always willing to just keep making jokes. Their reactions are part of what make the show so great — they have the perfect combination of quick wits and bafflement about what they’re seeing being drawn and really pull the audience into the action. (Nover also treated the audience to a rendition of Vanilla Ice’s “Ninja Rap” from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle II. I would love to tell you it made sense at the time — although, it almost did — but mostly, it was impressive he remembered as much of it as he did.)

Unfortunately, it was actually from TMNT 1. Still a great review.

A cyclist in NYC got a ticket for riding outside of a bike lane, and then decided to make a video about what it was like to try and JUST stay in the bike lane. All this without a helmet. You can see the BoingBoing post here, but it just links to Consumerist, and anyway that gets to the guy’s actual YouTube page.

Some posts on my site have led to debates for and against cyclists and drivers. Truth is nobody’s perfect on both sides of the equation, but I am in favor of cyclists having rights just like drivers, and lots of that these days means simple awareness. That being said, plenty of cyclists take these rights and go outside their bounds, running lights and things that they wouldn’t dare do in a car. Anyway, it’s a funny video. Enjoy!

If you haven’t been to or seen a Super Art Fight yet, you’ll probably need to see what’s going on. For that, I provide this reference video from our last show:

Enticed? Good. Now you’ll care about the fact that we have our NEXT BIG SHOW THIS FRIDAY! In Baltimore! All the details are on this flyer. Click on it or here for the rest, plus info on where to buy tickets (I think it might sell out):

Finally, if you want to learn more about SAF, I did an interview with Brightest Young Things about Super Art Fight and beyond. For a little behind the scenes, you should check it out. Of course, the best is the intro:

Ross Nover is a busy, nerdy man.

So true, so true. You should read the rest here.

I don’t think that’s what his boss accomplish-meant. GET IT?

So what did you accomplish this week?

November 9th would have been the 76th birthday of known turtle neck fanatic, TV personality and science-type thinker Carl Sagan. Be careful though, too much Sagan can be dangerous. Still, this video on its own does not exceed the recommended Sagan-dosage:

Makes you wonder what would counteract too much Sagan. So I’ll put this out there to you guys, what would counteract Carl Sagan? Is it like matter and anti-matter? Is there an anti-Sagan? A nega-Sagan? Or is it more like chocolate and vanilla, where it would be more of a Richard Feynman kinda thing? YOUR ANSWERS IN THE COMMENTS!

Carolyn “Curls Studio” Belefski was one of the amazing artists who performed one of our short, 10-minute Super Art Fights at this past weekend’s Washington, DC Counter Culture Fest 5 shows we did throughout the day. Here’s a vid!
