The 99 Cent Chef is a blog by a chef who buys food from 99 cent stores and attempts to make gourmet meals from his finds. Some of the recipes are inspirational, others indigestible, but all of the site is interesting and fun to read.

From the site's description:

"Welcome to wadded paper site!

My domain OrigamiBoulder.com, but most people too stupid to understand, so I explain now at beginning.

Great music video featureing 3d chibi vocaloid characters performing.  Well made.

In only 9 seconds (half of which shows a title-card), this vide manages to convey emotion, a complete plot arc, character development, action, suspense and drama.  It is a perfect 9 second video and a celebration of minimalism.  Also, it's awesome.

In this awesome and tasteless parody, Batman arrives at the Joker's only to find that he has O.D.ed on sleeping pills.

There have been many videos online of people performing the super mario brothers theme song in interesting ways, but this has to be the most original I have seen so far.

I just found out about this new movie by Japanese Director Takashi Miike called "Sukiyaki Western Django." Takashi Miike makes fantastic movies and this newest one looks to be no exception.

One of my favorite shows from the UK, Brainiacs, has a new segment this season showing fast things very slowly.  This particular segment shows a person being slapped in the face at very slow speed and is facinating to watch.

"Film Noir" is a new animated movie that just made its debut at the 2008 Philadelphia Film Festival, and it looks fantastic. Check out the embeded trailer.
