Quickies, interrupted

• Via bOINGbOING: Terry Border's wonderful, whimsical sculptures made from household stuff. Bent Objects
• Via Neil Gaiman: Teller (the smaller, quieter half of Penn and Teller) has been working on a production of Macbeth that sounds absolutely incredible. It's running at the Two River Theater Co. in Red Bank, NJ, from Jan. 15 through Feb. 17. Their vision is Macbeth as a grand guignol, with lots of blood and horror and incredible effects (courtesy of Teller). Even cooler (for a theater geek) is that Teller has been documenting the creative process in his journal.
• Via Cute Overload: an amusing film by Simon Tofield, entitled Cat Man Do.
• Via Rocketboom: ROFLcon. The organizers describe it as "the ongoing record of an effort to assemble every famous internet meme or celebrity to come to Harvard in the spring of 2008 to attend a conference." After looking at the guest list and location (Hahvahd, our fair city), we're so there.
