Something Cool is going on in the brotherhood of technology and graphic design: collecting 3D information from single plane images by mapping the dimension for movement.

Other projects from the same team have come up with a multi-screen sync for iphones that align next to each other to create a single larger viewing area. And [...]

December was busy. Plenty going on, plenty to listen to, plenty of plenty. I didn’t capture much to mixtape this month, and it didn’t help that a good portion of the stuff I collected have no documentation other than rarer recordings or the are just too unestablished to have a music video or performance.

Yes, I just invented a word, unawarer: n. a person who is unaware or not familiar.
And this here is a guide, not a tour guide, but a textual guide to spread the thought-provoking butter that is Paul Westerberg and the musical bread that was The Replacements. If you have glanced over my site you’d find [...]
