Phil’s Pharmacy prescribes the following links to combat Monday online anemia.

Indianapolis International Film Festiva (IIFF) – Only six years old and already pulling in some pretty notable films. Opening night had sneak peak of “500 Days of Summer” and last Friday there was a double feature of “Best Worst Movie” and “Troll 2.” Some films I’m looking forward to seeing are “The Dungeon Masters” tonight at 9 PM, “Garbage Dreams” tomorrow at 7:30 pm, and a documentary about the  Showbiz Pizza band, “The Rock-Afire Explosion” on Thursday at 7 pm. Films show throughout the day now through July 25 at the IMA. Full IIFF schedule.

Intolerable Beauty: Portraits of American Mass Consumption – A thought provoking collection of photos by Chris Jordan regarding the discarded. Here’s a question: if dinosaurs died, got buried, and turned into sweet sweet oil, what happens to motherboards and diapers?

Elizabeth Kolbert: Why are we so fat? – Speaking of mass consumption, “If this was about tuberculosis, it would be called an epidemic.” Ha! Check out this interesting read on some of the science-y theories behind our growing behinds and a scary observation about how people will basically continue to eat so long as there is food in front of them. This in mind, I’m going to have to rethink the compulsive popcorn eating I planned for IIFF.

Monday Music – “Young Hearts Spark Fire” by the Japandroids. Giving The Crocodiles a run for their money. Download audio file (Japandroids-Young_Hearts_Spark_Fire.mp3)

Phil’s Pharmacy prescribes the following links to combat Monday online anemia.

CoolHunting.com – With its emphasis on “ideas and products in the intersection of art, design, culture and technology,” CoolHunting just may be the site I’ve always been looking for. New, neat, and interesting stuff is posted frequently and with a PageRank of 7, I’m totally stumped as to why I’ve never seen this site until now. As for some content on the site that I think is worth a look, I’m into lighting artist, Marcus Tremonto’s The Paper Landscapes which reminds me of a little Tara Donovan mixed with Tron mixed with Portal. Also on CoolHunting, Ryan McGinness’s recent show that I’m now only able to experience via the web.

blublu.org – Home to a very cool stop motion animation film called MUTO that was created on regular old public walls. Street art mixed with stop motion is very satisfying.

Tweetingtoohard.com – I’m pretty self absorbed. However, I don’t think my Internet fans are able to tell that from my tweets. I should get on that. Until then, here’s a page with a stream of hilarious Twitter updates from users that Tweeting too Hard has identified as self important. A taste, “fan belt light came on in the 911 so now I’m driving the Cayenne Turbo S – the backup, backup car. Trying not to think about the Tesla…”

Monday Music – “Ecology” by Anni Rossi. She’s playing tonight at the Wexner Center for the Arts with Camera Obscura. I’ll be there. Download audio file (Anni_Rossi_Ecology.mp3)

Bing.com – Over the weekend, Microsoft launched a new search product called Bing. Supposedly, Bing should excel at helping users with “making a purchase decision, trip planning, finding local businesses and researching health conditions.” It looks like Bing can help me the next time I need to find a neighborhood apothecary to sell me a secret syrup that will take care of the cough I picked up on vacation.

Brooklyn Museum Mobile Collection iPhone App – Well done Brooklyn! iPhone users, download this app to browse and search the Brooklyn Museum’s collection. It’s still a young lil’ app so help their developers out and leave feedback on their blog about your experience. As Daniel hinted, we’re working on one of our own.

The 101 Most Important Painters of All Time – One of my favorite parts about the Web 2.0 world has to be the all the lists. And while 101 painters are way too many for this ad man to keep handy on a cheat sheet, this page is a fun rundown of some of the names I should probably know. If you’re into lists, here’s a list of lists…

Monday Music – “Mother of All Funk Chords” by Kutiman. This is incredible. This is incredible.

but does it float – Another curated blog for your enjoyment. Today’s exhibition is a set of photographs from Ed Ruscha. I like ‘em. Oh, and on a nerdy technical level, the built in autoload feature when you get to the end of the page is super slick.

Twitter Tools for Business – For the time being, Twitter is important to the people on the Internet. If you tweet and are interested in augmenting your tweeting capabilities, check out this top ten list. It’s no surprise to me that Tweetdeck and Tweetie for iPhone are on the list. However, OutTwit is a new one for me and may have my IT guy hook me up.

New Media Round Up – If you like turntables and the possibility of getting hit with virtual spittle from a beatboxing dog, check out Beatbox (thanks Kate). And if you’re into Facebook and political humor, the Atlantic’s own political cartoonist Sage Stossel has combined the two into a brilliant series of potential LOLs.

Monday Music – “Peloto” by Hyperpotamus. More beatboxing. This time from a human.Download audio file (Hyperpotamus-Peloto.mp3)

Crazy and Funny Art Swine Flu Masks – Swine flu is not funny. However, these masks are neat. Reminds me of the Peter Sarsgaard SARS guard.

Guerrilla Girls – Still got gorillas/guerrillas on my mind. Check out the efforts of this troop. “We’re a bunch of anonymous females who take the names of dead women artists as pseudonyms and appear in public wearing gorilla masks…Dubbing ourselves the conscience of culture, we declare ourselves feminist counterparts to the mostly male tradition of anonymous do-gooders like Robin Hood, Batman, and the Lone Ranger.” Facebook / Twitter

“Stages” Touring Art Exhibition – Turns out Lance Armstrong has got some art passion inside him and is sponsoring an art tour through his “Live Strong” campaign. Names associated with the tour include Takashi Murakami, Damien Hirst, Shepard Fairey, Tom Sachs, Geoff McFetridge, and Raymond Pettibon just to name a handful. Check out this huge wall mural by your boy Shepard Fairey.

Monday Music – “I Want You To Know” by Dinosour Jr. Download audio file (Dinosaur%20Jr%20-%20I%20Want%20You%20To%20Know.mp3)

Battleship Island -  A former coal mining facilty owned Mitsubishi Motors that was at one time the most densely populated place on earth (13,000 people per square kilometer). Viceland, the web outlet of the Vice media conglomerate, takes us on a quick tour and offers up some really cool pictures of this “rotting metropolis.” For those of you that are into industrial lookin’ living spaces, check this out for sure.

Goofing Off Boasts Productivity – Another interesting study about how taking a break from work to check out the Internet is good for getting things done. I’d be curious to see the results of a study on those of us who “goof off” for a living and take breaks from goofing off by filing papers and organizing their inboxes.

$23/month iPhone plan – That would rule!

100 Awesome Facebook Apps – Because I know you love/hate a good/bad Facebook app as much as I do. Notable apps include Picasa (photo manipulation), Goodread (personal book tracking) and “What language should you learn” (self explanatory). There are 97 more for your enjoy/disdain ment.

Monday Music – “My Maudlin Career” by Camera Obscura. Title track off their new album.Download audio file (Camera_Obscura_my_maudlin_career.mp3)

The Museums and the Web 2009 conference was here in Indianapolis last week and I came out of it with a bunch of web related scripts for my patient Monday patients. Here’s a few…

boxee.tv – This is the most incredible 10-foot HTPC interface I’ve ever seen. Windows Media Center and Front Row don’t hold a candle. If it had a PVR feature it would be perfect. And since it already lets you watch Hulu and YouTube as if they are just a normal television channel, MW2009 chats thinks there should be a channel for ArtBabble.

blurb.com – Free book making software. Best part is, you can print as few or as many as you want and the prices are super reasonable. There was a session at the conference where I got to actually check out a sample of their product and it looked just like something you would buy off the shelf at Borders. Oh, they make little flip books too that are super cute. I’m thinking limited edition ArtBabble something.

Mega Menus – In a website critique session at MW2009, I suggested that this slick new interface techniqe was about to be “hot right now.” Funny thing is, nobody had ever heard of a Mega Menu and thus my avant-garde status was confirmed. Oddly, my favorite implementation is on the State Farm Insurance website.

Twitterfall – Thanks to Twitterfall and a video projector, all the Twitter activity tagged with #MW2009 could be seen streaming by as the IMA’s Director, Max Anderson, gave the conference’s opening plenary address. A few months ago a display like this may have been distracting; however, during Max’s speech it was really interesting and helpful to see what people were thinking about as words were hitting their brains.

Monday Music – “Once We Were Strangers” by Peggy Sue. Third rainy Monday in a row. Download audio file (JWNT1peggy.mp3)

BrainRules.net – A companion website to a book with the same name (minus the .net). On this site, Dr. John Medina lays out “12 principles for surviving and thriving at work, home, and school.” The site is video heavy and each gets progressively more interesting. The “Stress” and “Vision” sections are standouts.

Umbrella Art – Given the weather today outside the museum, I was pleased to stumble upon a collection of umbrella art put together by crookedbrains.net. As much as I like umbrellas and how they make me think of Mary Poppins/Julie Andrews, this freezing rain nonsense is harshing the good Spring cycling vibe.

IndyCultureMatters.org – The IMA is one of the cultural institutions behind this organization and is urging its employees to take off work to attend the rally that is happening April 20 on Monument Circle.  Show your support for Indy culture and attend the rally. There is also a Facebook group.

Twitter for Plants and ArtBabble.org – Just came accross two cool examples of Twitter integration. The first was Botanicalls.com and how they are using the micro-blogging service to get status updates from plants. The second was the new ArtBabble.org page that now includes a feed of everyone on the Twitter-sphere tweeting about ArtBabble. I can’t believe I just used the word “Twitter-sphere.”

Monday Music – “The Ark” by Dr. Dog. 38 more days and we’ll have something…Download audio file (Dr.%20Dog%20-%20The%20Ark.mp3)

Yahoo BOSS and  SearchMonkey – I’m super fascinated by this whole “semantic web” thing. With these two technologies now being able to be tied together, word on the web is that Yahoo is looking for a breakthrough. Very interesting.

WebDesignerDepot.com – A beautiful blog, at least in my mind, about designing for the web. The Feb 13 article, “10 Writing Tips for Web Designers” was particullary interesting. Check out “Tip 2″ and prepare for your mouth to mouth the word “wow.”

Skateistan - BOOOOOOOM! is relentless with the postings about design. It also just recently turned me on to Afghanistan’s first skateboarding school. I know that skateboarding has saved at least one local life. However, knowing now that there is a school somewhere converting Afghani youth to the cult of sidewalk surfing has got me totally stoked.

Bomomo.com – By way of Gary, comes this little something that lets you be creative/waste time. Once you’re done creating, Bomomo has a “save” feature that lets you use your creation wherever you like. A person could probably make a lot of hot web 2.5 graphics with this thing.

European Design Facebook Contest – The week two winner has been selected. Up is the new picture!
