Yes a finger nose IS better than a nose with a finger in it.

For all those needing a third hand (nose?) when using a smartphone.

Awesome art that I certainly would want on the cover of my books. The creator

Chunky Move

This is some work by Melbourne's own contemporary dance company Chunky Move.
What's of particular interest with these pieces is that they are done live and
interactively with various responsive computer programs and a data projector.

The results are weird, wonderful, a little confronting, and totally amazing.

While everyone is voting for which is the best song at Eurovision this year,
I'm voting for the silliest. Sometimes the best and silliest are the same in
my opinion. Obviously Europe thought so when they voted for Lordi in 2006.
