October HDR Experiments
I’ve been meaning to shoot some HDR images for a while now, ever since I got some funky custom firmware for my camera that allows for such shenanigans and makes it easier. So finally I got out and shot some!
Mark Steyn – Contact Juggling
My friend Mark Steyn, an awesome contact juggler just posted this quick short of him doing a routine in London. Well worth a look!
Paper Lakes
I saw this project on thisiscolossal.com and I’m determined to make this into a piece to go on my wall. This is so simple and elegant and, frankly, amazing. All credit goes to thisiscolossal and crafterall for finding and making this!
Skiing in 2010
A friend of mine asked me for a particular photo that I shot while we were in Austria last year, skiing. I love going over my old work and rediscovering the gems! Brings back awesome memories, that’s for sure. If you want to see more of my work, head on […]
Game Addiction
I’ve been following the escapades (you’ll see the pun momentarily) of ExtraCreditz for some time now. They’ve been posting hugely informative videos about all kinds of aspects of gaming that aren’t often coveredby mainstream gaming media. Unfortunately, The Escapist decided they’d screw them over after Alison, their animator injured her […]
Carbon Nanotubes in the 17th Century
This is a copy of an article I came across while looking at swordsmithing on Wikipedia and I made a fascinating discovery – nanotubes have been around and in use for much longer than we realise! Science is awesome! Carbon nanotubes are no longer the proud boast of 21st century materials […]
Solitude Mixes
My friend Tina pointed me at this rather incredible DJ who periodically makes very chilled dubstep-y mixes. The mixes are over an hour and a half long and they flow from incredibly chilled to energetic without being in-your-face like a lot of dubstep is. To me, the difference between full-on […]
September Music and Design Roundup
I have a whole bunch of things to share this time around. I’ve been largely ignoring this blog, except as a glorified link dump. Which has worked surprisingly well, actually! So today, I have not only music, but awesome miscellanea to share with the Internets. The first thing is Welder’s […]
Life Advice
A friend of mine linked this article on Facebook. I read it and lo, I beheld that it was wise and good. More than that, it mirrored the changes that took place in my own head over the last 3-4 years. I’m equal parts happy that this advice is out […]
Cocorosie – Werewolf
I heard this tune at about 9am at Burning Man across from our camp. It drew me out of my yurt and got me spinning my poi and the guy playing it was kind enough to restart it when I asked him what it was! CocoRosie – Werewolf (Omega Remix) […]
Röyksopp – Forsaken Cowboy Set
Someone at work plugged this bad boy into the sound system and it’s sublime! Röyksopp never fails to make more awesome. The buildup in this tune is spectacular but doesn’t leave you waiting as much as some tunes do, for which I have massive respect. Also, it strikes me as a […]
Bag Raiders – Shooting Stars
I haven’t done a music blog post in a while – mostly I’ve been busy doing work things and scrambling around catching up with people and so forth. I came across this tune being played at work over our Spotify account and it’s wonderfully catchy. Not exactly the reinvention of […]
