Click Monkeys is exactly why the click-based ad revenue model is flawed. (I wonder if they’ll host offshore web sites/services?)
Click Monkeys!!™ is a Ukrainian company and the giant tanker ship click farm we have stationed just outside U.S. waters off the coast of San Francisco is registered at a Ukrainian berth so we’re not subject to any U.S. laws!” Click Monkeys!!™ employs a state of the art line of site net access system. We own a light house near San Jose with the equivalent of five T-3 lines worth of bandwidth running to it. The light house is equipped with two dozen microwave transmitters that are pointed at the H.M.S. Click Monkey. The transmitters are kept on target using a GPS system that is centered exactly on the on board transmitter.Even if the Click Monkey were to drift by 3 miles from her stationary position in the roughest weather, our monkeys can still keep clicking on your site!

CoverFlow is an neat-o Apple app for visually browsing through your digital albums (read: not intended for individual song listening). Once you’ve picked an album, the app controls iTunes as well. I don’t think I’d ever really use the program, but it holds a certain nostalgia for when we used to actually own physical albums. Well, I guess that’s only some of us… I still have records

I’m a big fan of Michel Gondry’s work. I have yet to see House Party, but I’m definately going to catch The Science of Sleep when it hits the theatres. Looks to be another Gondry classic.

Psst! Pass it on is a set of experimental motion graphics videos that are based on the idea of the Exquisite Corpse (or the childrens’ game Telephone) in which multiple artists create a segement of a work, each continuing where the previous artist left off. It makes for some really interesting - and in some cases plain weird - compositions that cover many genres of filmmaking.
