1,000 uploads to YouTube, the aftermath
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
So, a friend of mine, Patrick, has been performing a art/video project on Youtube for the last year. The project can be viewed here.
The project:
1. Upload a video to YouTube.
2. Download said video from YouTube.
3. Reupload the video you just downloaded.
4. Repeat 999 times.
Turns out the natural deterioration of the re-compression is a lovely thing to watch.
By the 1000th time there is very little left of the original image and sound track. What remains, is a pixelated wash that vaguely suggests movement. Art + Technology once again comes unique and super cool.
This was covered over at Mashable. READ THE FULL ARTICLE.

The Golden Ratio and Web Design
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009
I love Nettuts. They’ve brought us another lovely article here:

I remember being fascinated by the concept of the golden ratio as a kid. Good design explained by math?!? What?!?! It suggests a greater organization to this wacky beautiful world we live in.
To me, that’s comforting.

Quote of the day
Sunday, April 5th, 2009
“There’s no use trying,” said Alice. “One can’t believe impossible things.”
“I dare say you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. ‘When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!”

Wiring Diagrams for light and power
Saturday, April 4th, 2009
I LOVE this book. I believe I received it from Angela Faz years ago… but it continues to be an inspiration. I love that it was on naval vessel and has tons and tons of hand lettered typography. Plus, frankly, I’m just a sucker for diagrams.
Read more about the WWII warship’s travels (chances are, this book was aboard):
