New technology for modern-day ninjas:
This website allows you to enter a message and will then encode it in the form of a spam e-mail. Once received, it can be plugged back into the back and decoded. An interesting tyoe of veiled encryption…
Explanation from Spam Mimic:
"There are terrific tools (like PGP and GPG) for encrypting your mail. If somebody along the way looks at the mail they can’t understand it. But they do know you are sending encrypted mail to your pal.
The answer: encode your message into something innocent looking.
Your messages will be safe and nobody will know they’re encrypted!"

There’s a hilarious clip of Stephen Colbert doing his "Better Know a District" segment with Eleanor Holmes Norton, the representative from Washington DC. I can’t tell if she knows who Colbert is or that he’s being a silly-ass ninja, but regardless, they are both killin it.
The best is when she "accuses" him of being French.

So, here’s the shocker: none of these are actual photogaphs, they were all created digitally with vectors.AA This means each of the ninja artists responsible for the creation of these images first made 3D models using vectors, and then applied the textures and shading effects to make these pictures become realer than real.AA And you thought you were a ninja! Please!
The article has a lot of amazing pictures from a variety of artists.

Well you might be getting old, you might be burnin a bit too much of the ganja or you might have been subjected to the dark tricks of an evil ninja, but now there’s still some hope for your fading powers of recollection. Ampakines, a drug developed in the early 90s (yes, the 90s were a great time), have been proven to reverse the aging affect on long-term memory. So all you old ninjas, keep on keepin on, because help is on the way.
I’m trying to get me some of that before I completely…um…what was I gonna say?

For some reason I like this video… not quite sure why
Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Cursed Sleep.

Popular video sharing site YouTube is now banned in Dubai. Boing Boing has been banned in several countries including Dubai and the United Arab Emirates for several months. One anonymous Boing Boing reader in the UAE sent Boing Boing this letter:
"
Please email me so if you post this on boingboing, so I can VPN to the office back home and read about this on boingboing… Till then I guess am stuck with fark.com which am sure is next. :(
PS - Please remove all personally identifiable information from the screenshot, cause I don’t want to end up in jail. Yes they do put people in jail for attempting/bypassing their proxy."

Using a technique originated in the Wu-Shan province…
Actually no, we have absolutely nothing to do with this. This site claims that through the use of all-natural drugs they are able to induce a woman’s body to produce a child with the sex of her choice (or that of the overarching warlord of her village). My Ninja, Please! If this was possible through a pill it prolly woulda been done (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong). Just 500 beans a month and you can have that hemaphrodite you’ve been waiting for. Yes, $500.

This is a sick photo essay by Simon Wheatley, a photographer who tried to capture the pictoral essence of London’s Grime Culture, basically what he calls a British "reaction to American Hip Hop." Nice photographs- really well done. Can you spot the ninja in this photograph?

Well Joe Nishizawa‘s got you covered. His photos are all 100% real places (yes, on this Earth). He takes photos in underground areas of Japan, and they are ridiculous. Breathtaking. Words just cannot describe them.
PingMag has a great article with him. Definitely check it out, because Nishizawa-san has a lot of extremely interesting stuff to say about being underground (strictly underground, ninjas and ninjettes) and photography in general. His site also has a few galleries of stunning images for us to revel in. Go peep.
