My new wallpaper


I got a wallpaper-sized version of this beautiful oil painting of the Crazy German Kid (search for it on YouTube w/ English subtitles - it's disturbing but funny). I got it from this guy who takes suggestions from readers about what to paint and then paints it - usually some interesting Internet memes. Plus it's a good place to go and make sure that you're up on your Inet culture. For example, I was unaware of the awesomeness that is the Techno Viking until I visited this guys's page - would have been worth the browsing even if I hadn't picked up this nerd-pop-culture-kitsch wallpaper along the way...

Thanks for leading me to the awesome TechnoViking. I used some of the videos in a class I am teaching on organizational culture. I wanted to lead a session in discernment, practicing skilled observation, and this gave me the perfect training tool.

I hope you used the "Beat It" remix in order to really drive the point home to your students. Also, I love the nerdkore commentary: "He sees an injustice. steps in. then procedes to wow everyone with his unbeliably hot dance moves. Super hot."
