Your Face, My Sleeve

I'm a bit late to the party on this, but only because I was debating which one I was actually going to do:
sleeveface

"one or more persons obscuring or
augmenting any part of their body or bodies
with record sleeve(s) causing an illusion."

Anyway, since I haven't decided yet, I thought you, my lovely reader(s) could vote! Shall I attempt to do:


Over to you, vote in the comments...

Eat My Goal

Now I may not be as quick as I used to be but I reckon I can still cut it out on the left wing (OK, maybe against a fat wheezing full-back who works in the bacon factory and smokes too many Rothmans).

But this ... this is amazing:



Tell me if it's video trickery. Actually, don't. Let it be.

As a sarcastic b*gger myself, I liked the tone of this:


Quite.

Who knew?


"The International Year of the Potato was officially launched at United Nations headquarters in New York on 18 October 2007. The day's celebrations included the official launching ceremony, held in the ECOSOC Chamber, a special supporting event for IYP partners, and an exhibit on potato and IYP for the general public."

I'm a-fried I missed the launch; mashed try harder...

Great idea for a fledgling startup:

Yes, so I reckon we're looking to tap into the WWII veterans / open-source mobile phone crossover market...

Free At Last.fm

Many have tried, but this looks like the mould has finally been smashed on the floor:

"As of today, you can play full-length tracks and entire albums for free on the Last.fm website ... free full-length tracks are obviously great news for listeners, but also great for artists and labels, who get paid every time someone streams a song. Music on Last.fm is perpetually monetized. This is good because artists get paid based on how popular a song is with their fans, instead of a fixed amount ... we already have licenses with the various royalty collection societies, but now unsigned artists can put their music on Last.fm and be paid directly for every song played. This helps to level the playing-field—now you can make music, upload it to Last.fm and earn money for each play ... the business model is simple enough: we are paying artists and labels a share of advertising revenue from the website. Today we’re redesigning the music economy. "

Welcome to the future?
