Haven't blogged much lately. Too busy either working, playing music, or just dicking around in the semi-real world to dick around on the intertubes. So here's a few fun things I've looked at lately.
The decapitator. Check this mess out. A guy goes around London and replicates street ads then gruesomely removes their heads. Awesome and crazy street art.
Multi-touch whiteboard on the cheap. In case you don't follow my del.icio.us links (see sidebar) - This guy (not too surprisingly, from Carnegie Mellon) created a "whiteboard" with multi-touch capability that you can put anywhere as long as you have a projector or LCD screen and a Wii Remote, of all things. Surface what? Amazing stuff, and frankly I kind of want to try it. Also check out his rad 3D display.
Gary, Indiana: Ghost Town. I've lived here for how many years now and only recently went on my first urban exploration trip (Fisher Body Plant 21), but I've always assumed that Detroit was the King of Blight. Turns out, Gary Indiana isn't just that really smelly town on the way to Chicago, it's a nearly-abandoned empty shell. Much smaller place than here, but apparently much more complete devastation. Pictures of this kind of subject matter are a dime a dozen in Detroit, but the quality of these is really fantastic.
And finally, my new heroes, DJ Sara and DJ Ryusei (ages 8 and 5). I got nothing to say to this. Via Eliot's Twitter.
