Fed up with the Web? Get virtually violent with Font Bomb, the latest digital "experiment" by Philippe-Antoine Lehoux. The Quebec-based game designer and entrepreneur introduces the JavaScript bookmarklet by way of a quick video that shows his destructive amusement in action (the montage of HTML carnage is set to Tchaikovsky's Flower Waltz). After viewing it, try planting some bombs of your own anywhere on the page. We suggest scrolling down to detonate Baudelaire's "Hymne à la Beauté" (Hymn to Beauty). Voilà, poetry in motion!

The hardest thing is to do something which is close to nothing. That's the tagline for Marina Abramović: The Artist is Present, a feature-length documentary now playing on HBO and in select theaters worldwide. The film follows the artist as she prepares for her 2010 retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art. “The two main goals I set for myself in the beginning were to figure out how to make the subject appeal to a wider audience than just the rarefied art world and to avoid the trap of making a plodding biopic-style film,” explains director Matthew Akers, who made mesmerizing viewing of Abramović's MoMA performance-cum-staring contest. “My hope is that the film’s audience will have an experiential encounter with the concepts in Marina’s work in a way that might reveal something about themselves, as it certainly did for me.”

A number of companies have made eyeglasses more affordable and even added a philanthropic "buy-one-give-one" twist, but what happens to all of those specs when they're replaced by more stylish models? Enter eco, a line of eyewear that is proudly "earth-conscious" as well as reasonably priced. The eyeglasses and sunglasses, available for men and women, are made from recycled stainless steel and repurposed plastic. But that's only the beginning of the brand's commitment to sustainability: eco plants a tree for each frame sold (through a partnership with Trees for the Future) and makes it easy to donate your unwanted eyewear.

Parisian poster legend A.M. Cassandre lives on in Cassannet, a vivacious sans serif. Spanish design studio Atipo created the Art Deco-flavored font based on the lettering seen on Cassandre's creations, and it's available as a "pay what you wish" download (or choose the option to pay with a Tweet or Facebook post). Before you start experimenting with the small caps and ligatures, treat yourself to this video documenting Atipo's painstaking, real-life recreation of Cassandre's famous triptych "Dubo, Dubon, Dubonnet." C'est magnifique!

The New York Times digs up and dusts off some of its most incredible, strange and fascinating archival images in "The Lively Morgue," a Tumblr named for the morbid yet affectionate moniker of its newsroom archive. The images are selected to surprise and delight, and each one can be flipped over to show notations that explain the photos’ path at the paper over the years. And with an archive of some 5 million prints and contact sheets, The Lively Morgue is in it for the long haul. Notes The Times' David W. Dunlap, "If we posted 10 new archival pictures every weekday on Tumblr, just from our print collection, we wouldn’t have the whole thing online until the year 3935."
