They guy on the left at the end of the commercial is my friend Jason. I went to school with him at UB. I knew he was in New York acting, but I had no idea he was up to this.

Bongo Drums

http://eagle.auc.ca/~dreid/

On one of the pages he even links to CPIP (Carrier Pigeon Internet Protocol,
with the amazingly fast speed of 0.08 bps)

I think I like these kind of projects because they take the high-tech and
bring it back down in to the lower realms again. Of course, they are also
kind of bizarre.
Maybe not the lower realms, that’s probably not the best way to put it.
Back into the hands of ordinary men again. In theory, anybody could use
this idea and send info via a bongo drum. It’d kind of like the man who
turned his old satellite dish into a 10 mile line of sight transmitter for
his home wireless network with the aid of an old Pringles can.

Actually, I think it goes even simpler than that. It’s probably a
development of the common attitude in theatre that not only do we use
products in ways the manufacturer doesn’t recommend, we use stuff in ways
the manufacturer never even dreamed of before. We use simple household
products in ways that would make most lawyers yell “Class Action!” like
those excited screams you hear in porn films. MacGyver has nothing on any
half-decent theatre company.

Cool freaking links

Okay, so these are among the coolest links on the web. First of all, give credit to Honda for this commercial. Rube Goldberg, eat your heart out.
Next, I was reminded of the one and only Hampster Dance. Amazing how far it’s gone and how long it’s been around. Frst saw that back in ’99, and it was just one song back then. Now they have CD’s and a flash website and good lord something must be wrong with me because i’m actually giddy thinking about all this.
