Everyone else is linking it, so why can’t we? Today’s completely lifted link is The Man Project – a stunning and (apparently) simple looking piece of animation which resembles those cross-section models made by slicing up dead people. The most interesting technical part of it seems to me to be the way in which the figure faces, which appears to change as you move the mouse…
The only must see thing on the net today seems to me to be Sparky’s flat – frankly it’s stunning and I want it, but more to the point it’s also incredibly well captured in multiple photos. New Boyfriend, gorgeous flat. Sparky must die…
News Shock! Prince Philip mad old racist bastard! World reels in surprise.
A really good article on community development includes this paragraph: “In order to succeed, a virtual community has to have an affinity — the answer to the question “what would draw these people together?” It has to present a user interface that doesn’t baffle the newcomer, but gives a range of options to the experienced user. Building a social space online does not guarantee that people will inhabit it. It has to have a social infrastructure, including simple written agreements to a social contract governing online behavior and sanctions for transgression. It needs skilled human facilitation. And there must be some plan for bringing a continuing stream of newcomers into the community.” Which, in essence, says it all.
Q: “Why are you wearing that stupid bunny suit?”
A: “Why are you wearing that stupid human suit?”
Brrrr. Creepy….
My interview this afternoon is at four o’clock at the BBC – I’m scared out of my mind, but really quite excited as well. I have all of Barbelith pulling off a piece of chaos magick for me this afternoon – pulling off being the operative phrase here… All I need is some prayer, good will and tremendous positive thinking (oh and to have done my research) before four o’clock and I’m a shoe-in…
Thanks to the wonderful people at Haddock.org, I have finally found a sport that I can get behind. And it is a sport. It’s definitely not some homo-erotic thing marketed to a very specific niche market. Oh no. Nothing unsavoury about these pictures! Good healthy fun for all the family! If all of your family is male, and between the ages of twenty and twenty-three. And like body oil.
The last time I heard them I was probably about ten, maybe eleven. My dad used to play them in the car. He only had this album, ABBA’s greatest hits and The Carpenters. He was not the coolest man in the world, it becomes clear to me… Anyway – obviously I’ve bought the ABBA and Carpenters album since, but never before have I heard the classic songs from the other album, until now… And I can tell you with complete honestly that Neil Diamond is as cool today as he ever has been!… “Forever in Blue Jeans”, “Song Sung Blue” – now that’s proper music!
If you’re bored of an afternoon and fancy some entertainment, I can more than recommend methylsalicylate. Brooke will help you differentiate your fat mice from your firearms. What more could you ask?
So Davo sends me an article from the BBC about Irritable Male Syndrome which explains how particularly stressful circumstances can make your testosterone drop which could lead to moodiness and foulness. I ask him what he’s implying. He replies that I know very well what he’s implying and to stop being so bloody irritable….
