SOPA, PIPA, ACTA & The Cloud
SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act) has gone dormant for now, thanks to a massive outcry by millions of end-users who are, ironically, far better clued up about how the Interpipes work than the legislators debating the bills and a host of big-name companies, like Facebook, Yahoo, Google and so […]
Repeating Sound Grid
This is one of the most fun Tenori-On analogues I’ve come across. It’s really well done, too! Click the squares and put some headphones on. See you in 3 hours.
Protect IP Bill – Censoring America
There is a terrifying new Bill in the works over in the jolly old US of A. It’s called the Protect IP bill. It’s been backed by some pretty powerful conglomerates and it’s primarily driven by the entertainment industry. While I wholly oppose piracy and believe in supporting artists for the […]
Psychadellivision
I came across this on DeviantART! It’s a simple (ish) piece of flash programming but it produces some rather pretty patterns and is quite addictive. Spirograph freaks, eat your heart out! Psychadellivision by ~Volcanic-Penguin on deviantART
Nyan Cat
Someone introduced this music thing to me. It’s horrible, but catchy. Listen to it.
Hidden Orchestra – Antiphon

March TEDTalks Roundup
I’ve been watching a bunch of TEDTalks of late and I would love to share them with you people!
Luvstep
Sean at Gyropulse posted this and it’s frankly amazing! Here’s what he had to say about it: This collaboration is sure to wet your eardrums, and will continue to do so for well over an hour. As described by Dirty South Joe and Flufftronix, Luvstep is the sound of electronic gruv glide […]
Ferrofluids
A ferrofluid is a made up of nanoscale ferrous particles suspended in a carrier fluid such as an oil or even water. They behave in a similar fashion to non-Newtonian fluids in the sense that you can do some rather funky stuff with them. Here’s an art installation! I like […]
Compound-Eye Walrus
Saw this on The Oatmeal – yet another case of sea-dwelling mammals being slandered and abused for our entertainment. However, it is quite amusing. Seriously, don’t fuck with Compound-eye walrus. That dude’s a badass.
