  My sister does these brilliant landscapes on standard size Post-its and sticks them all over her office. I uploaded a few examples to Flickr. She’s super handy with a pen, and creates other great stuff like mechanical cards – http://www.imogenjoy.com. Flickr set: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjywiHef

  You can add four more to the list of advertisers fleeing Rush Limbaugh.

  I sent the following letter to all 31 sponsors:

  I was very sorry to learn your company is proud to continue paying for Rush Limbaugh to continue calling women sluts over the airwaves.

  I and my 10,000 plus twitter followers and 800+ Facebook friends will be spreading the word about withholding support for your company while you continue to support
  this offensive and dangerous bigotry.

  respectfully,
  Eric A. Smith

  Here’s what they said:

  Thank you for contacting Vitacost.com.

  To put it frankly, Mr. Limbaugh’s recent comments have been unsettling, and many of our fans have voiced concern that Vitacost.com endorses these views. These comments are definitely not in line with our brand values, and in listening to our fans we’ve decided to remove our advertising from the program.

  Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with, it
  will be my pleasure

  Have a great day!

  Hey Boing Boing. My name is Blake Buck – I’m a filmmaker and just finished a short web documentary on an indie game developer. His name is Justin Fic, and this documentary traces his journey from losing his industry job to the launch of his new game, Kung Fu KillForce.

  Hope you enjoy it, and I’ll have more gaming culture related videos coming soon. Thanks!

  -BlakeBuck

  I tried out the game briefly, and it’s just as energetic and fun as it looks in the video. I’m really looking forward to playing it more! – Dean

  Certainly the most suspenseful advertisement I’ve seen for a library… well, ever. – Dean

  The New York Public Library’s Milstein Division of US History, Local History and Genealogy just put out this amazing video highlighting how its collections can unlock secrets of the past. It’s not only educational and promoting a good cause – it’s just cool. It was done by some up and coming filmmakers . . . for free.

  There are too many Sesame Street specials to count, and most of them have climactic revelations along the lines of, “Oscar learns that not everyone likes a grouch” or “Elmo learns the real value of sharing.” Yet once, just once, a bunch of writers at the Children’s Television Workshop actually decided to run with “Big Bird overpowers the will of gods and demons in a quest for celestial justice.”

  My friend Jessica knits, and decided recently she wanted to learn how to spin her own yarn. She started by making a drop spindle, and then immediately progressed to making a Lego yarn spinner. Seems like a logical progression.

  PHILADELPHIA — A day after an SUV crashed through a fence and sped onto a runway, causing an approaching plane to have to pull up quickly, officials said that the facility’s perimeter fencing meets federal standards but that police are investigating whether there are ways to make the airport more secure.

  Kenneth Richard Mazik is being charged with disrupting operations at the airport and endangering safety there, the U.S. attorney said Friday. Mazik, of the Philadelphia suburb of Chadds Ford, drove his Jeep through a fence Thursday and sped up and down two runways at speeds of more than 100 mph before being surrounded and apprehended, police said.

  “Flying robot quadrotors perform the James Bond Theme by playing various instruments including the keyboard, drums and maracas, a cymbal, and the debut of an adapted guitar built from a couch frame….

  “These flying quadrotors are completely autonomous, meaning humans are not controlling them; rather they are controlled by a computer programed with instructions to play the instruments.”

  I, for one, welcome our new musical overlords.r
