Banda da semana: Glasvegas

Bottle Wall

This is amazing:

Bottle wall (no sound) from Alex Beim on Vimeo.

An illuminated bottle wall. There is a LED controllable light behind each bottle that is controlled from an on board computer. 11 x 23 = 253 bottles in total create this mobile wall that will be taken to festivals this summer in and around Toronto Something missing in the video is that the cavities for the bottles are empty at the beginning and people start filling them with empty containers to reveal the visuals. Everything started when Tom (the client) said I want to make a light bright with bottles for Bacardi, is that possible?

Pictures here.

Minha banda favorita da semana (e quem sabe do mês):

God is an astronaut

O dia está agradável hoje.

Do blog do Kafka

Vou contar a idéia básica do livro e talvez vocês possam me ajudar. Num certo dia, um sujeito, que é funcionário público, acorda, na sua cama, transformado numa barata. A partir dessa transformação, tenho dois grandes caminhos a seguir. No primeiro, farei dessa história uma metáfora dos efeitos da massificação gerados pela sociedade industrial no indivíduo. Com um clima de angústia e desconcerto, pretendo antecipar o surgimento de fenômenos como o do nazismo, e assim fazer um marco literário de grande valor para a humanidade. O segundo caminho é transformar o personagem principal num protagonista divertido de história infantil: o
Q Barato. Q Barato, depois de ter se transformado, partirá da sua aldeia para descobrir, no mundo dos insetos, que todos os seres vivos têm uma importante missão no equilíbrio do planeta. Até mesmo uma baratinha nojenta e rejeitada. Com a criação de mais dois personagens, um pernilongo espoleta e aloprado, mas de bom coração, e uma joaninha princesa linda e rica, que vai se apaixonar pelos verdadeiros valores do
Q Barato, a Pixar pode se interessar. No caminho um, o título será A Metamorfose; no dois, A Barata é um Barato.

Indie developer Farbs — creator of 8-bit videogame mashup Rom Check Fail and the later, similarly stylish Polychromatic Funk Monkey — quit his mainstream job as gameplay programmer at 2K Australia in fitting fashion: he created a playable take on Super Mario Bros that delivers the message far better than any scathing letter could.

She said everything i feel when i listen to their songs, but never found the right words:

There’s something about this band in their ability to almost capture all the brightness inherent in human beings and actually play it in a song. This was the first time I’d seen the band and I had heard how amazing their live set could be but I was still astounded given my high expectations. The experience was completely ethereal and made me even a bit light headed at times. They are one of the only live bands I actually really can connect with and maybe that’s because they are so adept at the instrumentation part of it that I can actually hear lyrics in my head of all the things I want to tell people and everything they’ve told me.

This is what a criminal looks like

File-sharing is good, allowing people to share music, movies and culture. Today four of the pioneers of file-sharing are on trial in Sweden, in yet another attempt by the movie and music industries to stop technological innovation and development by force.
