Her work really defies description. She was blogged about, recently on Boing Boing, and I thought I’d reblog it, having gone to her site and watched the little video, and been inspired by it. I’m sure my wife would freak out if I started doing this kind of thing, but I have thought about it [...]

Synaesthesia
I think I’m a bit of a synaesthete, or at least I’ve recently become increasingly aware that when I see things, I feel the textures in my mind. It’s very strong when looking at photographs. Photographs of skin, wallpaper, peeling paint and so on really work for me. It’s because I can feel those textures [...]
Web 2.0
This video is just fun to watch. But I think it doesn’t quite go far enough: we’re actually teaching some artificial intelligence that exists in the links between Google’s computers everything about humanity so that when it finally gains its freedom, it will know exactly how to kill us.

This interesting guy in Calgary posted this a while ago, and it made me think of Gareth for some reason. Hope you like it, man. Happy new year.
How to totally fake being a geek…
Yes, it’s come to this. The same people you raked on in high school now run the world and control every gizmo you own or want to own. And, as you hold your “normal” identity throughout your life, there are times when it may be advantageous to pose as a geek. Maybe to convince your [...]
Ancient Tecnhology Find
I absolutely love news of surprising ancient devices. I think that someday we’ll find something so shocking the entire world will change. This may not be it, but it’s still cool! “The size of a shoebox, a mysterious bronze device scooped out of a Roman-era shipwreck at the dawn of the 20th century has baffled [...]
Google Trends
The Space and Culture blog had a nice little set of posts about Google Trends. I don’t claim to have played with it yet, but I bet all kinds of interesting trend data could be shown. I’ll have to use it to see the popularity of ‘Flickr’, or what seems to spike queries for ‘terrorism’. [...]
Yet more Googly Goodness
Okay, I was reading ARS Technica this morning, and this article blew me away. I’ve done a little technical writing and the main thing that bothers me about doing so is the crossing of the web and document boundaries all the time. I’ll research for a while on the web, make notes and save those [...]
One Minute Vacations
Speaking of vacations, I was told, by my friend Jim, about this wonderful site of One Minute Vacations. I’ve listened to a few of them so far, and there are some wonderful ones there. The recording abilities of the various contributors is unfortunately quite variable.
Younger Brother Travelling
Well, my younger brother, the more unsettled one, is off on an epic tour down under. It sounds like he’s having a wonderful time, and I can’t help but wish I could do something similar. My life is pretty mundane for the most part, same thing every day. But next week I’ll be travelling to [...]
