Hating the New York Times

601am: Everyone's angry at the Gray Lady today.

Missing actor Spalding Gray's family is 'fuming' because the paper is harassing them for interviews. '60 Minutes' producer Don Hewitt is reportedly 'hopping mad' for not printing his letter to the editor disputing NYT's claims that CBS paid Michael Jackson $1 million for his interview.

Goodness everyone, let's settle down. The Times is a national treasure we must protect, lest we damage her permanently. I hereby launch the Times Rage-o-meter. Check in periodically to see how bad the anger has gotten. Today's level and what could happen if things get worse:"

Artist turns animals into everyday objects

Ananova - A Chilean artist is making a name for herself with an exhibition in which stuffed animals are transformed into household objects. Artworks on display include a chick turned into a lamp, and 'sheep bag' - a lamb carcass fitted with handles. Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point. She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful. 'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"

Josh Nimoy @ ITP - BallDroppings : "BallDroppings is an addicting and noisy play-toy. It can also be seen as an emergence game. My brother Marc takes this software seriously as an audio-visual performance instrument. Balls fall from the top of the screen and bounce off the lines you are drawing with the mouse. The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line."
