Just got back from Sarah and Aaron’s wedding on Orcas Island. It was lovely!
Everyone has been posting about the Radiohead “data visualization” video on google. I thought the interactive part was kinda nice too.

Kinda makes me wish I had worked harder on my Dustbunnies project.

Anyway, it’s pretty cool that Radiohead is releasing the how-to and [...]

Koichiro Tsujikawa is a video artist from Japan who’s done a lot of Cornelius‘ (whose work I love) music videos. Here’s an experiment that I particularly like:

Cornelius, who took his stage name from the helpful primate in Planet of the Apes, uses very short samples. I think the term people who know what they’re talking [...]

I saw this on the interwebs a while back, but never got the chance to share. Enjoy!

According to the bookshelf blog, the Adobe Bookstore in San Fran will organize it’s entire collection by color. (for a week)
Eric, as I recall, does something similar with his books. He adds a secondary category of size. This way you could ask for the “green book that’s this big”. If you’re a visual person who’s [...]

For George Carlin.

At one point I realized that much of the advice my father had given me when I was young was stolen from a George Carlin stand-up routine. It was one of the happier moments.

The packaging design looks incredible. It makes me wonder what other sports graphics could be copied– bowling or darts maybe? In the same way that skateboarding and a particular set of graphic styles found it’s way into everywhere.

Side note: A few weeks [...]

Sorry I’ve been away from the blog for so long, folks. I’ve been driving cross country from Cambridge to Seattle. It was a wonderful, amazing trip which I will write more about in subsequent posts. In the meantime I wanted to share three videos, stolen from three friends. I’ll show the videos first, and then [...]

Saw this video today:

Animation has come a long way thanks to computers. Ever since Final Fantasy (which I had to see in theaters), they’ve been pushing pretty far into the uncanny valley. (Computer have also caused the reverse to be true as well. The future is in the valley, apparently.) Even the kid’s stuff is [...]

I saw this beautiful flickr group today. Simple concept: take a photo while [carefully] tossing your camera in the air. And voila! Trippy-ness! I’ve tried it a couple times and have yet to produce anything good looking… so in the meantime, enjoy the pool!
Addendum:
One of my friends mentioned a work by MIT’s very [...]

I just saw John Malkovich while out to lunch today. He’s a terrifying old man. Which is a complement.
This morning I saw this beautiful video from Encyclopedia Pictura– they’re doing the new Bjork music video. I had seen their awesome video for Grizzly Bear, but hadn’t connected the dots. Anyway, Seventeen Evergreen reminds me [...]
