Yesterday, when King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia arrived at Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen, the military band decided to play him a rather unique welcome. Hit play or go to the Link [youtube] to view. Given Saudi Arabia’s horrendous human rights record (detailed to some extent in the remainder of the video), Darth Vader’s theme music seems rather appropriate.

Google often changes their logo for special occasions, and Halloween is no exception. But Google isn’t the only one! You may have noticed the skeletal Neatorama title today. YesButNoButYes is posting Halloween logos spotted all over the internet, and asking you to submit more. Bonus: there’s also a rundown of the last seven years of Google Halloween logos. Link

Mac Classics find a new life as hi-tech Jack-o-Lanterns!
There’s still time to make your own. Besides a working computer and a little technical know-how (very little), all you need is three cans of spray paint and a bit of epoxy. And here’s the best part…no slimy guts to clean out!
Intructions are at Bad Banana Blog. Link -Thanks, Bill!

This is the second review I’ve done for photographer Michael Franzini’s book One Hundred Young Americans (the first one was for his website) - and I’m still in awe over what he and his team have accomplished.
In a nutshell, One Hundred Young Americans is a portrait of the youth culture in America today.
