An awesome mashup showing the darker side of the beloved Mary Poppins. It never ceases to amaze me how some music and a bit of selective editing can make the good look evil (and vice versa).

Chevy has teamed up with The Apprentice and created web site that allows you to design your own SUV commercial. Not only is the video mixing tool a lot of fun but it’s an excellent means of culture jamming as a slew of anti-SUV commercials have been created:
Thanks to Lorraine for the link to the site and the links to all of the anti-SUV commercials. Be sure to check them out before Chevy tries to censor them. Happy jamming!
A few months ago I blogged about a remixed trailer for The Shinning and how easily our perceptions can be altered by a voiceover, a bit of music and some selective editing. Around the same time I also blogged about how an innocent hug between mother and son could be transformed into an erotic embrace by simply changing the speed and frequency of frames in the Alone. Life Waste Andy Hardy film piece. So naturally I was pleased when I came across the following two trailer mashups for Brokeback Mountain - Brokeback to the Future and Top Gun Brokeback Squadron. Not only are they hiliarous but they also touch on the deeper issues of how editing effects (and potentionally distorts) our percpetions.
I just signed up for SuperGlu a web content aggregator that allows me to bring together the various RSS feeds that I produce and display them all in one place. My SuperGlu site contains my Flickr phots and tags, my various del.icio.us bookmarks, my 43 Places and 43 Things lists, and my most recently played tracks on last.fm as well as the feeds from this site, as well as Amy@MEdTech and Millimeters of Change. I must admit, it’s kind of a nice feeling to see all of my sepearate identities come together in once place. I like how it’s organized as a daily digest as it gives me a nice snapshot of my web activity for the day. Its also interesting to see all of my tags displayed in one place. So far my tags seem to mutally exclusive, but it will be interesting to see if my Flickr tags match up with my del.icio.us ones given my two very different uses for the applications.
The services is relatively new, and although I’ve only just signed up there are a few more features I’d l ike to see, such as:
- Flickr thumbnail images displayed in the sidebar, similar to how they are displayed in this blogs sidebar
- More template options, as there are currently only three and I ended up customizing the one I am currently using. Something simple and crisp, a la Kurbrick or K2 would be ideal
- Option to upload profile picture
- Option to change color of SuperGlu header that appears on every page, similar to customization options that Blogger allows
- Ability to add more source feeds, as the current limit is 11. This number seems rather arbitrary, and believe it or not, there are more that I want to add!
