To prove there’s a blog just about everything, here’s Good Show Sir, devoted to bad science fiction cover art. There’s plenty of that in Portugal.
Well-Placed Pixels, a blog showcasing well-designed user interfaces. Quite a bit heavy on the iPhone side, but still worth browsing.
Now these are short films: A bundle of twenty 5-second films. Many are indeed funny and poignant. But come on: how much ADD do you expect of you viewers to rush things like this?

Nick Gentry, for instance, uses floppy disks as canvas.

Which I’m actually unsure if it’ll ever happen. It seems plausible at first, but unlike vinyl the compact disc is actually quite a sophisticated and unstable media. It’s unlikely many discs will survive into the 2020s, let alone players in good working order (this is why you’ll never see a Lomography-style revival of late 90s VGA digital cameras). I think CDs will instead go the way of the floppy disk or the VHS tape: charming pieces of retro plastic.
