Context Collapse



In itself context collapse is a heavy duty context, but however we approach the meaning of meaning, this Youtube presentation by Professor Michael Wesch of Kansas State University given at the Personal Democracy Forum is essential viewing.

Information DJ



I was talking to Fabio the other day who gave me an idea that requires outright and blatant theft. Any thoughts on me having Information DJ on a business card? That's basically all I do.

Digital Backflips



I like digital backflips. It's the equivalent of being a bit creative with software and tools when it's for the internet. In this instance a friend couldn't gouge this clip off his Sony Vaio hard drive, for years after filming it on a yacht trip I mentioned back here for another 40th birthday where we sailed for a few days in the Andaman Sea. We finally managed to transfer it between two ASEAN countries and I chuckled on first viewing. I remember well, that the best of Duran Duran were playing for much of the sailing (much to the surly skippers annoyance) but I don't recall in the slightest that 'Notorious' was playing as I dived off. I would however, have been just as delighted if it were 'Girls on film' which has that wonderful opening sequential shutter sequence that you can listen to here.
