I give you episode 4 of Kerplunk Radio! This episode features an independent artist by the name of Jonathon Coulton. His stuff is incredibly catchy, and the lyrics are very quirky. He's got a definite "They Might be Giants" influence. Word-of-warning, though: he does drop the F-bomb in one of the songs. Right-click the "download mp3" button and choose "save-as" to save the show to your computer before listening. Jonathan Coulton's web page can be found at http://www.jonathancoulton.com/.

1. Baby Got Back		4. DNA
2. Mandelbrot Set		6. A Laptop Like You
3. Skullcrusher Mountain

I came across something really cool on the Web during my lunch break today. It's called "camera tossing". Basically, you aim your camera at some source of light, shut off the flash, hit the shutter, and toss your camera in the air. What it captures can be unpredictable, but you will usually get something pretty interesting. Below are a few that I tried when I got home today after I had read about it. If you want to see some pretty cool pics of this kind of stuff, here is the link to the camera toss flickr group.
