Binary toys

This deserves some serious pimpage.

My friend Neb has just launched binary toys, a collection of interactive windowless virtual toys (10 by default with an import option) made up of springs, muscles, and masses.

Originally created by Soda, based on simple physics, these toys exhibit complex behavior and are surprisingly life-like.

The democracy of the dead

I’m currently working on a pitch design. When it came to adding the home button, I decided to use a style that would set it apart from the rest of the menu items, given that a user would typically enter the site via the home page more often than not.

Sleep pattern

No real news to report, other than that this evening we’re going to check out a couple of flat shares in the area, for potential permanent accommodation. Hopefully by next week, our living conditions will be (at least) habitable.

Surfing some websites, I stumbled upon the site for Agency Republic via … view full post

Bowling for Columbine: Documentary or Fiction?

Some people have too much time on their hands. More at kuro5hin.org (pronounced “corrosion”).

DHTML Lemmings by crisp, on the other hand, is quite amazing – just like I remember the PC version. More info … view full post

South African Music Week

I was watching tv tonight and this music video came on called “Dig in Deep” by a band who I think were called Kesan. It was pretty good, and I wouldn’t have thought they were South African if the presenter hadn’t mentioned it.
