Friday Web Zen: A Mixed Bag..
It's Friday. Pour yourself a cup of something hot, crank up the headphones, and try to look super-productive and workerly while you burn valuable time on these urls. Some are oldies, all are goodies. 
(1) Movie-a-Minute: using sekrit plot condensation technology (and probably a few lasers), this site provides ultra, ultra-short capsule summaries for films including "Speed" (Jan de Bont, 1994)
Dennis Hopper: I will blow up the elevator.
Keanu Reeves: Oh no. Not the elevator. (saves elevator)
Dennis Hopper: I will blow up the bus.
Keanu Reeves: Oh no. Not the bus. (saves bus)
Dennis Hopper: I will blow up the subway.
Keanu Reeves: Oh no. Not the subway. (saves subway)
- THE END -
(2) Design For Chunks: An airbag saved my life. In-flight barf-bags, reimagined. (image at left: Dude Studios)
(3) Guess the Dictator and/or Television Sit-Com Character.
(4) Yodeling horse-things: this site might just kick the ass of singing kittens.
(5) Tiny Bubbles: if you liked last week's Flash bubble-wrap popping site, hold on to your seat. Discuss (thanks, Frank!)

Utrecht/L.A. transcontinental digital art camp-in: "Afterneen", Sat. Nov. 16. On Saturday, November 16, Miltos Manetas' Electronic Orphanage art collective will produce a crazy and cool digital art event in L.A.'s Chinatown district. Billed as "the introduction of NEEN, the first art movement of the 21st century, to Europe," Saturday's performance takes place simultaneously with a participating team of artists in Holland. If you're stopping by in LA, the event will be going full-force from about 6-10PM.
Location: electronic orphanage, 975 chung king road, los angeles, california 90012 (map)
The event is sort of a simulwebcast/simul-camp-in with a sister gallery in Utrecht, Holland. During the show, digital artists from San Francisco, LA, and New York will gather at the Orphanage space. The idea is that each artist will, for the weekend, become a little avatar that operates in the "virtual space" of the gallery. For the duration of the show, the galleries in Holland and LA each are transformed into Internet space.
Printable invitation here: (PDF) (JPG): The press kit is here. Photos I took of Miltos' analog work (large-scale paintings of technology still-lives) from August are here.

New Alberta Green Power!
(November 12, 2002 - EDMONTON) - A first in Canada, the Alberta Research Council (ARC) reached a milestone in the technical development of its own version of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology. ARC scientists are developing a proprietary micro solid oxide fuel cell (µ-SOFC) source of energy for small- scale portable applications such as laptops or personal digital assistants (PDAs).
"This is an important milestone as we pursue our strategic initiative in fuel cell technologies," says John Zhou, manager, Advanced Materials business unit. "Alternative energy technologies are becoming increasingly important in today's world and we need to research options that have practical applications."
