10 examples of extreme twittering (except for the last one).
Based on an interesting-ness and engagement matrix--and in the interest of brevity--here are a few people I recommend you "follow" on Twitter: Cobra Commander, Fuel Creativity, and donwill.

Neat depiction of the alphabet in American sign language created by New York designer JK Keller. I'm not sure what's going on with the last matchbook in the bottom right corner.
Relatedly, here's a young James Earl Jones perfectly reciting the alphabet in an old episode of Sesame Street.

Feeling a bit fair and unbalanced, David Buckner, a professor of organizational leadership at Columbia University passed out live on Glenn Beck's Fox News show. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ply7XcnffyQ&fmt=18]
Saskatchewan artist Heather Benning's life-sized replica doll house was built in Manitoba a few years ago, which is basically centuries in Internet time. Nevertheless, it's still very impressive. One must have experienced a certain "Honey, I shrunk the kids" effect standing next to this doll house. View more photos here.

My friend and graphic designer Rolando made this great comparison between Adel Abdessemed’s exhibit that I attended with the following classic comedy.

Last Saturday I attended a surprise belated birthday party for Pooja at a karaoke joint.
While waiting for Pooja's arrival, her brother Chirag got the singing off on the right note. Mariya, with the SLR camera, looks very excited. Too excited.
Pooja and Chirag! It was also Chirag's birthday that week: Happy birthday guys!
Okay, back to singing!
Duet!
Ayo is all up in the food.
Ayo on the mike for a solo.
Pooja singing along with Namik. The lack of a microphone isn't stopping Pooja so long as no one takes that wine bottle away from her. Classy, Pooja!
Thumbs up for the food!
As we neared the end of our reservation at the karaoke bar, we all become more frenzied in trying to finish the alcohol. Here's Ayo doing his part as I enable the pitcher.
Singing loudly!
The wine bottle that never left Pooja's hand.
Haha.
Melissa takes a turn on the pole.
Ayo protecting the birthday girl...from herself.
Pooja dodging a flip.
Tri-party hat.
The End.
Kids nowadays are so goddamn lucky. For distractions they have the Internets, DVRs, BluRay PS3s, Xbox Live, playgrounds that are all hyper safe with padding and shit. And now this rad staircase?? British architect named Alex Michaelis created this staircase-slide combo for his kids at home. When I was growing up I had a NES and a tennis ball.
I had a low key weekend. I dropped into a few art galleries and viewed Sophie Calle's "Take Care of Yourself" exhibition at Paul Cooper Gallery and Adel Abdessemed's "Rio" at David Zwirner.
I survived the rain and met Pooja at her apartment where I found her drinking an enormous glass of milk. I thought people stopped doing this after elementary school.
Namik and I in front of Abdessemed's remarkable sculpture "Telle mere tel fils." This entwined and braided piece constructed from three planes extends over 65 feet long.
Namik and Pooja caught in the knot.
How do we lighten the mood? Jump of course.
Take two. Haha.
Then we explored the rest of the artist's works, like this regulation sized soccer ball made from razor wire.
Ouch.
I was struck by this photograph, "Saturday" of the artist's wife and children walking down a street near their home in New York. Look closely and the urban idyllic setting breaks down.
Stunningly sculpture of a blackened car body evoking violent imagery of riots, bombings, and war. "Practice zero tolerance" is a clay replica formed from the remains of a vandalized car during the 2005 riots in Perpignan, France.
Then we hopped into another gallery nearby.
Cardboard furniture.
Quite comfy!
Wall E as an old man.
Violent!
What mystery does this suitcase hold?
The banal wood suitcase is actually a portable party to go!
Dangerous!
Lastly, we went to Sophie Calle's exhibition. Previously where she asked various women to analyze a break-up email she received from her boyfriend. This was a wild exhibit that I highly recommend. And we were privileged to see the artist in person that day, although we were all too chicken to talk to her.
The email shot by a female sharpshooter at a shooting range.
Artist Diane Kurzyna aka Ruby Re-Usable created this stuffed bunny from reused Wonder bread packaging.
