•BOARDS' BUZZ-WORDLE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR DOWNLOADING PLEASURE> A few weeks back we appealed to various adland luminaries to send us
their most loved and hated buzzwords in order to create our own Wordle - a free web tool that generates "word clouds" based on text or an RSS
feed. Developed by IBM senior software engineer Jonathan Feinberg,
Wordle is covered by a Creative Commons license, meaning anyone can
make a Wordle, and reproduce it. Not only have we succeeded in reproducing
an insufferable miasma of adspeak, we've made it available for you,
dear readers, to download as authentically organic desktop wallpaper.
Heck, maybe it'll "go viral". Err... to download your very own
Buzz-Wordle, click here and to read four fun buzz definitions, click here.
•BEHIND THE SCENES IN QUEENS> Whenever you hear a car stereo booming through your neighborhood, with its subwoofer "woofing" and volume presumably set on This Is Spinal Tap's

wheels. So what commentary are the Trinidadian-born, New York-based
teenagers in directing collective Randall Stevens USA's new short doc, Made in Queens, making when they strap entire stereo systems onto ordinary bicycles? To find out, click here.
