In the absence of an existing chess set, Tak and I made one from slate on this July 4th. The heaviness was quite satisfying.

Birdmania, the successor to Meowmania, is now online..

Comedy Central, ffffound, Art fag city, It’s Nice That, Cat Party, neat-o-rama, refinery 29, reddit, Le Post, Jacksonville Confidential, Veracity Stew, I have seen the whole of the internet, crushable, …

Since I found that someone made a Facebook page for Meowmania, it’s on whole other level. The photo album is amazing.

An image Yayu took of me makes it as a representative image of a project that he’s doing called “Laptopogram”. “This is a photographic print made by briefly exposing photosensitive paper to the light from a laptop screen and then developing the paper. No camera needed. The creator calls prints like these Laptopograms. Here’s the code for the “shutter”:

#!/bin/sh
vbetool dpms on ; sleep 2.0; sudo vbetool dpms off

Ideas for further exploration: make prints of screen-specific subjects (desktop, web sites, email inbox, etc.) and hi-res wallet-sized prints using the iPhone.”
