Cities Burning Down

Every time I hear this on the radio, I find it hauntingly appealing:

...however, it's been extremely hard to find a decent video version online. Most are live recordings where the sound is awfully clipped. Fitzroy Burning Down is obviously taken from the CD, but it's only a minute long!

2008 Comikaze 24 Hour Challenge

Copied from the website:

What is it?

The Challenge is to create a comic in 24 hours, in whatever medium you're comfortable in. Use ink, computer graphics, paint, magazine photos, crayons; use paper, bristol board, wacom tablets - it doesn't matter.

What's it like?

Every year we have around 60-80 participants and some absolutely amazing stories keep coming out of the challenge. No. Seriously. Have a look for yourself! The site hosting the challenge (Pulp Faction) takes in anywhere from 170,000 to 200,000 page hits during the challenge period every year (sponsors, that means your banners were viewed approximately 22,000+ times during a normal event)! We hope this year's event will be even bigger.

How do I join in?
