For “Digit,” performance artist Julien Maire doesn’t use a writing utensil, typewriter or computer, he simply slides his fingers over paper and text magically appears below them. He can move his hand any way forming text drawings of sorts.

Apparently those that witness this in person are amazed as there is no evidence of visible hardware used. Magic.

A photo series by James Reynolds, Last Suppers documents Death Row prisoners’ last meals before execution (above).

The same theme done differently, Jonathon Kamboris created a similar series (below). He comments “…prisoners waiting to die choose their last meal for different reasons. Some choose from past memories while others feast on what they crave at the moment. Such fascinating details surrounding the final hours before being put to death are a matter of public record and are the inspiration of this series of photographs.”

Notice the artists different takes on the same meals.

Both series are gripping.

Leave it to Bill. The whole scene is so Korean.

Instead of a soap dispenser or a tray, soap-on-a-rope type contraptions are the norm in public bathrooms in S. Korea. This bar of soap shaped like a hand is an especially clever if not eery take. Wash your hands more.

Remember these Big Johnson t’s? I’m glad my mother never let me purchase one but I still think they are funny. Imma buy a few for some friends. Call me childish.

The latest dance craze to sweep through the dancehall scene in Jamaica is called Daggerin. Essentially just dry humping your partner, it’s stirred a bit of debate and some think that both songs that mention it and the dance itself should be banned. My opinion is at least you can’t get the bug from this type of fun.

In the video above, Mystique talks a little about her style, her thoughts on Daggerin and get a glimpse of the new dance craze (sfw).

I was flying through Shanghai last week and before we could de-plane a group of tyvek-suits shot lasers at my forehead to take my temperature. Futuristic, weird, and it made all of us on the plane feel real comfortable.

The Champions League Final between Manchester United and Barcelona will be played today at 2:25 EST on ESPN. The Champions of England vs the Champions of Spain, Christiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi, it’s a dream final set at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. I’ll be watching on ESPN 360, which by the way, is great.

A good way to get caught up quick, check out these 10 incredible plays (above) compiled by ESPN.

Ruby Beach is known for its driftwood and skipping rocks. Located off highway 101 in the Olympic National Park, it serves as the barrier between the Pacific breakers and the coastal firs. This melange provides a rare landscape of old growth forests and jagged monoliths. It’s also a good place to scavenger for some flotsam that’s floated over from Asia.

I threw my arm out skipping rocks. I threw an 8.

Too bad it’s illegal to take any driftwood from the beach. This was used to build camp and provided protection from Bigfoot.

Warm food is sooo good after a few days in the woods. Grabbed some burgers at Sully’s on the way out. A classic spot, expect greasy but good.

One of my favorite speakers at the 99% Conference was Scott Thomas, New Media Director for Obama For America and designer of whitehouse.gov. Have a look at the Cool Hunting Video above for the essence of his talk.
