YO KANYE, WE’RE HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR CAPS LOCKS RANTS AND PROUD WE HELPED lowercase your blog posts, but its time to focus on another accident on the Internet: UNWANTED BIEBER MENTIONS.
We’ve developed a series of innovative tools to help cover the lower regions of web pages from unwanted Justin Bieber content. Shave away those Bieber mentions on web sites with our bookmarklet, Firefox Add-on, or JavaScript files.

Add-art “Always Naked” Contest Entry http://mag.ma/greg/570031 #video
This is my version of the add-art screencast. I made it fit to a 1:30 episode of naked news, so people don’t get bored. I hope you don’t mind the product placement, most people won’t even notice.
My favorite professor Wendy DesChene releases video from her project “The Talking Statues of Rome” http://mag.ma/greg/480898 (very cool!)
Beginning in the 16th century Roman’s have posted political satire and messages on a few ancient statues, providing an outlet for their voice. Many of these statues located in busy piazzas and street corners are still in use today. However when I was there in 2010 two of the most vocal of the talking statues had been silenced. Pasquino the ringleader was wrapped up behind a barrier supposedly “under renovation”, and the city had placed anti-vandal paint behind the second, Babuino, effectively silencing his voice. This unauthorized projection project, celebrates this tradition and gives voice back to the silenced statues.
Art Appreciation with an Engineer
- Me: manzoni also placed a pedestal upside down on the ground in a park and claimed the entire earth as his own art piece.
- Jeff: that's pretty clever, actually
- Jeff: then he flattened the ice so they could play hockey
- Me: *facepalm*

IMMA LET YOU FINISH BUT F.A.T. LAB HAS ONE OF THE BEST KANYE WEST INTERRUPTS BOOKMARKLETS.
With recent mistakes by companies and organizations not knowing how to properly censor online documents, its easy to see why people believe the text they can’t see can’t be read. And with computer illiterate people like Rush Limbaugh, it is easy to befuddle them with the apperance of censored text on the web pages they commonly visit.
A playful experiment in “censoring” a web page by hiding text and images behind blocks.
