Site of the week: The Denver Post’s Mike Keefe is consistently one of the best political cartoonists in the nation. If you want to compare his work with others’, or look for other points of view that may align more clearly with your world view, a terrific website for the world’s best cartoons is at cagle.msnbc.com/political car toons/. It’s easy to get lost in the vivid and wildly unpredictable collection of art and opinion. You’ll be shipping favorites out before you know it.
Watch this Web video: Occasionally, a Web video pushes past juvenile pranks and shoots for something both satirical and poetic. This director says he spent about 23 hours in stop animation to create his vision of
“iBlinds,” a fictitious product that plugs into your iPod and opens and closes blinds in timing with your favorite song. The short video manages to provoke thoughts of science fiction, product marketing, techno pop, animation techniques and corporate sarcasm, all at once. Watch it at youtube.com/watch?v=hBRjiLPNJAA.
