I live in New York and this is super-real:
This is how storms work. They just appear suddenly, while boats are still out on the water and people are just all out on Liberty Island. Even climate change happens in, like, a half hour.
Dean Peterson noticed that one of the steps leading up from his subway stop is higher than the others, and it constantly trips people up.
We’re super-damn-late on this video, even though Dean is the guy who uploads all of Slacktory’s videos to YouTube and we should have been subscribed to him. So I’m sorry for that, I know it greatly affected you, I’m sorry.
Watch people trip and feel dumb and not know it’s these damn stairs. »
City mottos are all either Latin (“Sicut patribus sit deus nobis”), Amishy (“Upon This Rock”) or trying too hard (“Gateway to Southern Ohio!”). I’ve made them a bit snappier.
See the new slogans for Paris, Chicago, Tokyo, New York and more. »
I used to work with Eliot Glazer and that’s probably my pickup line for the rest of my life because unf!
Sorry to everyone who doesn’t live in New York.
Most Microsite Wizards are just wasting time between their real work. Cory Arcangel is a professional artist, which means his work is wasting time. Some of Cory’s novelty sites:
Check out other work from Cory’s ten-year career.
And if you’re in New York, you can see his work at the Whitney now. »
Stop-motion human pinball in the streets, with sound effects!
I really hate these videos because they’re so easy to think of in retrospect, and yet all the work of shooting looks so hard.
“Hipsters Are Roaming the Campus” (made for NYU orientation) rejects “easy mode” hipster comedy and settles in at a comfortable intermediate. (Hard mode: “Being a Dickhead’s Cool”.)
I tend to take quirky bullshit songs like this and listen to them repeatedly like actual songs. Those who live with me do not admire this habit.
Improv Everywhere “pranks” do two things: They make life fun, and they make me really want to punch a smug bastard.
While hanging out in New York’s Nelson Rockefeller Park the other weekend, I caught IE’s eighth “mp3 experiment”, which had fun bits and face-punchy bits.
The experiment itself was fantastic. Watch the video below or check out the gorgeous aerial photos near the bottom of this.
But their photographers have an annoying habit: they always sidle up to bystanders and go “wow, are you freaking out, man?” When I was asked this, I was visibly enjoying the show and particularly not freaking out.
And if you look over here, you’ll see the Great Crack of Guzman, named of course after the famed Larry Guzman who dropped a fry cooker and created the crack in 1972.
The crowd rushes to snap photos.
Sir! Sir, step back a bit, please. We don’t want anyone falling in. Then you’d miss the rest of the tour!
Good-natured laughter.
Let’s continue onto one of our newer attractions, the Chalk Hopscotch of Last Tuesday, which has been carefully preserved through two rainfalls. On our way, note the coarse grain of the concrete, typical of the neighorhood’s late-era terrain.
