Why not make a giant 3D printer and print houses? (That’s a rhetorical question.)

Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and ‘progress,’ everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man’s refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, ‘Disobedience was man’s Original Virtue.”

― Robert Anton Wilson

To break my own rule, here’s a video of someone dancing. It’s dubstep, c’mon! I wouldn’t have linked it up unless it was fantastic. Via The Kid Should See This, who snagged it via Laughing Squid.

I’m a Hemmingway fan so I grabbed this picture. Maybe my favorite was Alfred Jarry’s, “I’m dying. Please… bring me a toothpick.” Here’s the entire list over on BuzzFeed.

I mean, seriously – do you have any idea how difficult it would have been to get your hands on this stuff 20 years ago? And here they are – giving it away for free and begging for remix and reuse. To live in interesting (and open) times.

Grab ‘em all! I can’t wait to hear how these sounds get mixed in by all of the smart folks over at SoundCloud. Me? I listen to the Sound Cloud dubstep channel.

While we’re on the subject… you can embed Sound Cloud songs really easily. Here one now:
