David Meets Artist Tim Biskup/Red Robot

Bar code artist Scott Blake / Falco stencil memorial



Today on Boing Boing tv: Austrian tech-art-pranksters Monochrom introduce us to Scott Blake, renowned bar code artist. We then observe Scott wandering the streets of Vienna collecting bar codes to properly memorialize the late Austrian pop star, Falco. He's a very big deal over there.

Russell Porter with Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip



Russell Porter already has quite a following in the UK -- his Porter Report videos chronicle alt music culture with aggressive wit and offbeat charm. Today, the "professional chancer and well known layabout" joins us on Boing Boing TV, for an on-the-street and in-the-club exchange with Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip, who became YouTubeFamous this year for their track "Thou Shalt Always Kill".
