Graffiti Research

Graffiti Research Lab - kinda geeky and corny, but I can't really blame em. If only they hadn't mentioned "Style Wars" as such an inspiration. That sounds way too try-hard hipstery. Graffiti has been around in YOUR city for at least 20 years now, a movie shouldn't have to tell you that.

A good article from WIRED showing that there's more to it than those cats above. Especially the German subway submergence.

Superawesome

This is probably one of the coolest things I've seen on the web in a long time. There's even a Director Demo version on the web page. Essentially its an application that allows you to analyze and manipulate frames of film in incredibly interesting and beautiful ways.

More art...endless art....

The endless cavalcade of links continues with art by Martin Puryear, courtesy of the NYTimes.com. Does the amount of linking I do make each link the more trivial? This is something that concerns me. I should feed that data into Freebase or ManyEyes and chart it. And then make a chart of how fast/usefully I read that chart.

I'm basically at optimal functionality right now as an information processor as I surf the web. A combination of the right hardware (fast CPU and good keyboard and high-res monitor) and a lack of work and an attitude inclined toward superficial research (I am in school) has propelled me to at least twice my normal browsing/roving speed. I'm like a machine cow with 10 arms, 20 stomachs and a gut full of steroids ruminating across a lush meadow of ultimately lightweight feed. This blog is where I defecate/digest I suppose.

The last paragraphs courtesy, at least in part, to an over abundant diet of William Gibson during formative years.
