Following the steps from Eames’ “To The Power Of Ten” film it is no surprise to see Google taking their Maps Street View to the next level. The Maps Molecular View lets you experience the world at a level we usually don’t see. I spent half an hour this morning flying around a cigarette butt [...]

I Just received an email from myself to remind me how good futureme was when i found it a while ago.

Been digging through what’s left of my antirom archive. Pulled this desert atmosphere I mixed for a performances piece called LynchMod (the image is a still from it). Get it on the headphones. The wind sounds makes the hairs at the back of your neck stand up but somehow the chirping cicadas warm it all [...]

It’s better for them to do interesting things honestly so people like them, tell their friends about them and don’t later stumble across some uncomfortable truths that might undermine the whole exercise.

The TED videos have been mentioned here and there quite a lot already. I’ve just been through some of them and they really are great. Just saw the zefrank one followed by Jeff Bezos who after all these years I still hadn’t seen speak (always on the front of magazines but never moving). Put a [...]
