Super uber brilliant [love it!]

I guess some of you know about this, because nearly 8 million YouTube users have seen is so far. But hey, it's new to me. And I think this is the coolest project I've seen in "social sharing" on the internet.

This guy Noah took a self portrait each day for six years and put it together as a video. From about 45 seconds in it I think it becomes mesmerising and magic to look at it. His hair, it's like he's flying through time.

Around 3 minutes in I think you can see from his face expression how he's sliding down life's razorblade.


You can't help but thinking, what if he became muslim suddenly and grew a beard. Or what about kids, where do they fit into the picture. Also, I feel an urge to pause the video to check his girlfriend, his computer in the background and stuff. So it turns out the Simpsons thought about that too and made this.

I like the original and I guess lots more of people will see it now that it's ben aprt of the Simpsons.

Damn, that is a cool and very original idea.

Lol i saw the video a long time ago, but the Simpsons did a fantastic take on it.

Your work is profound. It was a delight to come across your page suggested to me by uber as 'similar pages' to my own, although my page is in its third day of infancy, so I really have nothing to show for it, however I look forward to seeing more of your excellent eye for detail. Cheers.

It has been, i confess, long overdue. But i have been procrastinating this simple task of leaving you a comment for weeks. I've been busy and only comment when commented.
I do admire your work and your blogs are quite the read.
congratulations on a wonderful page.

Hi Thorsten,
Thanks for the great idea for a blog posting on how a designer comes to dress a star at the Oscars. I will have to write it! Continue to check my blog, I'm going to continue to add great stuff in the next few weeks.
