OZ Portrait by Court Illustrator

I have a lot of respect for court illustrators - they have to be quick, thorough and serious. I just discovered the great drawings by Christine Böer who attended some of the most important trials in the German history of the past few years. My favourite: The court portrait of OZ, the legendary graffiti tag "artist" from Hamburg who just recently has been put on trial yet another time - after having spent already 8 years in prison for tagging.

LXD @ TED: B-boying has come a long way

Tech-inspired martial arts fusing with B-boy moves backed by spherical music à la "Cirque du Soleil": LXD on the TED stage (check out particularly the solo dancers in the first half of the video, when the violin isn't annoying yet). Stumbled upon through Chris Anderson's article on Crowd Accelerated Innovation in the new Wired (thanks, Chris), in which he applies Steven Johnson's approach of collective ideas to the boost that the evolution of dance received through online video platforms.
