How to Hack an Electronic Road Sign
Interested in reprogramming an electric road sign to say something hilarious? It’s definitely illegal and possibly dangerous, but here’s how to do it. You know, just so you know.
Here’s a local news story from Austin, Texas about a road sign prank there. It was the top story.
In The Butt
In The Butt is a new website created by Sarah Claspell and Evan Pohl. They say the project aims to prove “everything’s funnier in the butt.” I don’t think anyone can argue with that.

TSA Communication
Artist Evan Roth has devised a clever way to communicate with TSA workers as you travel home this holiday season. He explains:
T.S.A. Communication is a project that alters the airport security experience and allows the government to learn more about you then just what’s in your backpack. Thin 8.5 x 11 inch laser-cut sheets of stainless steel comfortably fit in your carry on bag, simultaneously obscuring the contents you don’t want the TSA to see while highlighting ideas you do want them to see. Change your role as air traveler from passive to active.
Make It Rain On Me
Artist Paul Outlaw has created a personal rain cloud that follows him wherever he goes, pumping rain drops out of his backpack. The above video shows Paul taking a stroll with his cloud around The Cranbrook Academy of Art campus.
Label The World
This project definitely needs your help if it’s going to successfully label the entire world. So if you’ve grab some sticky notes and a pen, and get to it!
The creator explains:
I’ve been working on a simple project where I label things with sticky notes. I wanted something that anyone could participate in (as long as they have sticky notes and a pen), and would get people out there doing something without feeling they to make elaborate plans first. Just a small way to make the world slightly more surreal and get people to look a little more closely at their surroundings.
Pop Down Project
The Pop_Down Project offers an alternative to the “pop up” advertising we encounter on the streets. They write:
On the Internet, getting rid of unsolicited pop-ups is pretty easy. In real life, things are a tad more complicated. The Pop_Down Project aims at symbolically restoring everyone’s right to non-exposure: Just stick a “Close window” button on any public space pollution.
