A method of painting is a natural growth out of a need … a painting has a life of it’s own, I try to let it live.
I’m taking a trip down internet memory lane today. Remember this mashup? Brilliant.
This was the second ever Salad Fingers from animator David Firth. It’s dated quite a lot, but this is still a favourite. Do not watch if you are easily disturbed… or maybe watch it because you are?
Head over to Thomas P.M. Barnett’s weblog for (what I think) is a particularly precise summation of McCain’s pick of Palin as a VP, as well as a comment on Obama’s experience. Both of which set of a wave of interesting comments. It makes for interesting reading. I’ve quoted the line about Palin below:
McCain says he’s different and will put country ahead of himself and his political goals. I think his choice of Palin, the most important and revealing choice any candidate for president makes, says otherwise. Choosing her says he wants to win the election more than do what’s right by the office, and that diminishes a powerful aspect of his appeal, in my mind.

This is fantastic, an application which is living up to the potential of the iPhone. A musical experience which is affected by the sensory input of the iPhone, audio from the mic input and movement from the accelerometer. RjDj has many different ’scenes’ created by artists which use samples and music and are influenced by the sensory input in varying ways. Artists can even create and submit their own scenes, and I have no doubt that the entire application will be moddable in the near future.
This is all kinds of exciting, and not just as an artistic or musical tool. This application allows a rudimentary form of synesthesia to any who wish to use it, you can now hear your body moving. I’ll be interested to see how this application evolves. And if you’re interested in adapting your perceptions, how about training yourself to feel true magnetic north? An idea which was pioneered by a guy with a compass and a bunch of Playstation rumble packs on a belt (unfortunately I’ve lost the original article, but if you know it, link me).
Watch the video below, check out their website and sign up for the private beta.
The quality is terrible, but this is my favourite scene from the film. Don’t watch it if you haven’t seen it, go and watch the film in a cinema.
