“Bird Bread” by Dayton Castleman
An inquiry as to whether birds would eat bread in the shape of their own. In this case, Chicago pigeons would not.
Watch the video.

Holodeck lets you create an artist web presence in no time, pulling your data from the services you already use, like Tumblr, SoundCloud, Last.fm and Songkick.
This looks so cool. Created by the awesome Winston Design folks.
Note: the app still has a few glitches so be sure to keep checking back.
Now we’re talking.

Bad Astronomy on NASA's budget
The general public public perception of NASA is that it’s an inefficient, unnecessary drain on the US budget. How bad a drain? Bad Astronomy quotes The Space Review:
In a just-completed study, we asked respondents what percentage of the national budget is allocated to NASA … NASA’s allocation, on average, was estimated to be approximately 24% of the national budget (the NASA allocation in 2007 was approximately 0.58% of the budget.)I wonder how many government programs you’d have to ask about before you ran out of percents.
So true.

Hmm, sounds like something I’ve heard recently…

The Way I Work: Paul English of Kayak
It’s true. If people ever wonder why I’m always tinkering with RRR’s website, it’s often because I’m trying to save myself time on the customer support side.

Make your nomination if you haven’t yet!
PS. Depending on how well this works out, we’ll probably be replacing our editor’s picks with your recommendations. Sorry, Chris.

When two web services love each other very much...
Some great music blogs use Tumblr as their platform, and we aggregate those in The Hype Machine. But plenty of people have awesome insights on music, even if they post about everything else on their tumblelog, too. So now, you can submit your music posts to the Hype Tumblr. We’re also following some cool people and reblogging their stuff, so you can see all the videos/articles/photos/links that make up our music experience right now. And just like on our main site, you can stream all the music on this page. Follow us, visit us, submit your posts, and check out some Tumblrs you might not be following yet. Welcome to our newest experiment!
I love the experiment, but I don’t think they’ll see much action until the two are spliced more seamlessly. A checkbox on audio posts to “submit to Hype Machine” would be siiiick.
