baby duct-taped to wall. i think the title says it all. wow.
Press and Personal Website Coverage of the 2000 SXSW Interactive Festival.
i finished my skull a bit early in sculpture class today so a spent a few minutes and made a nice little clay rose and threaded it through.
i did a cool little vector piece in a demo version of the now apparently discontinued fractal desgin (metacreations) expression. unfortunately, the demo version didn’t allow saves, but i’ll probably dig out the print version i have sometime. i remember i got it published in my high school literary mag, so i must have a copy somewhere…
cam made a mention of packet video. i’m sorry i missed them at sxsw. rob tercek was supposed to talk at one of the last panels i was at, but was a noshow. i remember briefly meeting him when he used to teach the sega games class while i was working at the interactive media lab in the usc cinema dept.
i wanna dot the 5k compo, i have some good ideas. just… no time.
get your red hot fruit-fly genome right here folks!
instead of work, i’ve been reading old penny arcades. they’re all pretty good, but this one split my sides. the slashdot one is good too.
did i mention i got the abyss: se dvd in the mail today? it’s a kickass 2 dvd set w/ both the theatrical and director’s cut, and tons of extras, like the complete screenplay and storyboards, mutli-angle stuff, concept art, and documentaries. now if only i had a working dvd player…
i wanted to finish writing a late paper tonight, but i ended up spending 4 hours in a coffee house unsucessfully studying for a fa350 midterm (art theory and criticism). semiotics and critical theory, wee. de saussure, beaudrillard, derrida, lacan, oh my. the cool thing is that i met a ucla (no link there, nope nope) 3rd yr graduate art student who coincidentally enough was writing a paper on barthes / freud / lacan, etc. (psycho-analysis). was able to get some (different) perspective on how all the theorists and theories interact. ok, well, i’m gonna be up for a looong time tonight. blech.
randomness: i got dope wars (based of of the original drug wars – ahh, amber screens and warm fuzzies… memories)
for my palm in january, and played it for about 3 straight hours. i got a high score that night $26,482,227 which i’ve yet to beat since. unfortunately, my lowest high score is $3 million+, which can get frustrating when i make over a million and still not be rewarded properly. incidentally, i’ve calculated it will take me 11 years to make my first million if i save $30,000 / yr assuming a 20% avg rate of return. if i get cracking this summer, i should be able to become financially independent by 2011.
obviously mentioned everywhere, the web economy bullshit generator. the cool thing is that a lot of the words that me (and everyone else in the biz) suggested last week ended up on there this week. yay. the scariest thing of course being that all this jargon sounds frighteningly … uh real. reminds me of the old trek technobabble generators, ahh, the wonders of fidonet. i’d dig out the original, but unfortunately i lost all my bluewave logfiles in a hd crash in 1996. wow, that was a while back ago. old skool. 😉
while i’m babbling, i got the m$h sndtrk (corrected order) from cdnow today. i must say, that stateless (ra) is a frickin’ awesome song. so different, yet so u2.
i have a hitbox account and should really use that instead of extreme tracking for ths stuff i can’t get webalizer to cover (and that i’m too lazy to set up analog for) but th hitbox icon is just too damn ugly.
well that took a long time to type out. so that’s where all my time goes. c’est la vie.
i’ve almost forgotten how frickin hilarious suck can be.
