The folks at Rocketboom released a lovely, dreamlike episode this week in which host Joanne Colan appears to move forward in time through a reverse-time New York City.

Gabriel Delahaye (whose work we've featured on Boing Boing tv not once, but twice!) says, "Um? This video? AMAZING." And holy plus-sized polyester dress slacks, do I ever concur.

I'm a little behind on blogging a number of things from around the web. One of them is this great little post by Annalee Newitz from last week, at science fiction blog io9 -- about everyday objects that inspired cool scifi machines. "Most excitingly, the T-1000 was inspired, according to James Cameron, by chocolate fudge," she explains. "Mmmm, fudge."

The heart box: world's goth-iest fountain? Video, and the sculpture is by artist Billy Chasen. According to the YouTube metadata, this work was displayed at a recent American Heart Association gala in NYC. (thanks, Siege!)

* Above, a short film by 16-year old Boing Boing pal Charis Tobias, and her cool mom, Marylew.

* Here is the Washington Post's second annual Peep Diorama contest. (Thanks, Jean)

* Jason Day says, "My wife made a Buffy-themed diorama ("Bunny the Vampire Slayer") for the Chicago Tribune's Peeps diorama contest (craftzine blogged about the contest here). She didn't finish by the deadline, but it turned out really well, and just in time for Easter."

* "Fear of Flight," a stop-motion short in which an Easter peep meets an untimely demise. (thanks, Billy)

* Candyblogger Cybele points us to some Peeps as Maori statues on Easter Island. "Bunny shaped Cocoa Peeps, to be exact," she explains, "hewn from pure sugar with a touch of gelatin."

* Reader Brian H. would like all peep-lovers in Boingdom to know about "two dioramas that were rejected from The Chicago Tribune's Peeps contest. One revolves around a black metal band playing a high school and the dire consequences therein, and the other is a simple tribute to an old Edward Gorey book."

* This week's edition of Web Zen, which is regularly re-blogged here on Boing Boing, is all about peeps, cadbury bunnies, and other anthropomorphic cavity inducers.

* And Sarah O'Sullivan says,

Last year BoingBoing featured my husband Dan Paddock's and my entry into our local newspaper's Easter marshmallow peeps diorama contest (York Daily Record, York, PA.) Our diorama, "We Come In Peeps," won second place. We thought you might like to see this year's entry, "Peepzilla, King of All Marshmallows." And no, I don't know which marshmallow bunny is Raymond Burr.

Los Angeles painter Korin Faught has her first solo show in the city opening tonight at the Corey Helford Gallery. I think her elegant paintings of twins and couples are incredibly glamorous, moody, and lovely. The exhibition, titled "Twenty Two," runs until April 19.

Tikistitch sez, "This one may not be *quite* as cool as the Hello Kitty Vader, but I can personally vouch for it as being 100% authentic, as I just took the picture of him downstairs in the lobby. I'm attending Jedi Con, the Star Wars con going on this weekend in Dusseldorf, Germany." Link (Thanks, Tikistitch!)

Wired News has a nice little gallery up from the Alien Abduction festival on Toronto's Queen Street West last week -- local merchants offered classes in tinfoil beanie manufacture, and "probing 101" (from the local sex-positive sex-shop). Link

Nadine Sterk's Sleeping Beauty lamp is on exhibition at a show of design school projects, on display at the Design Huis in Eindhoven, The Netherlands -- it's "a lamp that develops like a living organism: switch it on and it slowly starts growing by knitting its own lampshade at a speed of three rotations per hour."
