Watch the entire life span of a freshly born meteor as it comes to terms with life, and its inevitable splashy end. This short film is all too bittersweet.

the beautiful intl. language of surf: The Boys From Ponta Preta (short film)
Set on the Cape Verde islands off the western coast of Africa, this short film shows how three young men struggling with the country’s limited opportunities took the tourists’ sport of kitesurfing and made it their own – with one even becoming world champion. Titik, Mitu and Djo explain how they spent their early days skipping school at the beach and learning from the global surf community any way that they could. Now they have set up a surf school that teaches the tourists, and offers hope to others who are stuck in the island’s slums.

Street artists hold laser graffitti protest over commisioned-then-censored public mural
A crew of street and graffiti artists, together with a handful of war veterans, gathered Monday night in the dark, empty parking lot of MOCA's Geffen Contemporary in Little Tokyo to stage a guerrilla protest performance against the museum's director, Jeffrey Deitch.
The MOCA wall has been blank since Deitch had Italian street artist Blu's antiwar mural whitewashed from it in early December. Deitch had commissioned Blu to paint the mural; but after it was completed, Deitch became concerned that its provocative imagery of coffins draped in dollar bills would be offensive to some in the neighborhood...
"All of us political poster artists have been a little outraged," said artist Karen Fiorito. "It shows how corporations and private institutions can control the dialogue in the public forum."

- the world's first commercially sold coin-operated video game
Computer Space is a video arcade game released in November 1971 by Nutting Associates. Created by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney, who would both later found Atari, it is generally accepted that it was the world's first commercially sold coin-operated video game.
Nautilus Home Theater
Based on the vessel from the Disney movie classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, this private, 10-seat residential home theater completely immerses the moviegoers in dimensional rusty steel that would make even Captain Nemo feel at home.
Tufted red velvet panels, a hand sculpted screen surround, and molded squid medallions complimented the other finishes in the space..
Complete with portholes that provide views into the murky depths, a full-scale replica of the movie dive suit, and a specimen case, the only thing missing is Peter Lorre!
