That image on Halavais' door looks like a Rasterbator (
) print from here. Or it could just be a really huge print of a really large file that's been run through an ascii generator like this ( ).Fun stuff...

basic stamp stuff for e:Paul(e:Paul) has been having issues with his Basic Stamp, which is, apparently, something used in basic electronics. Don't ask me, I just read about this stuff...
Anyway, I was reading Hack A Day (http://www.hackaday.com) and they wrote about the Basic Stamp a couple times on two different fun-looking projects. The first is a "robot Grover" modificiation (http://www.hackaday.com/entry/1234000017035470/) and the earlier article, which includes an introduction to the basic stamp is here (http://www.hackaday.com/entry/1234000487032939/).
Maybe this give hope? Or leads to some overlooked resources? I dunno...

Heavy Metal UmlautJon Udell does Screencasts, which is a pretty interesting thing in and of itself. While browsing his site, I found this great screencast about the Heavy Metal Umaut article on Wikipedia ( (WIKIPEDIA - heavy metal umlaut)). It's a great display of the power of Wikipedia to evolve and the entertainment value in reviewing the history of articles. Of course, it's even more fun when people like Udell have packaged it all up into a nifty little video for you. Check his screencast here:

Google Maps Hacking and ScreencastingWow, I love how sometimes an interesting blog posting will lead you to multiple things you've just GOT to know about. Case in point, this here post. I have to go make tacos right now, but when I come back, I'm going to read this stuff:
First, GTxA (http://www.grandtextauto.org) just posted about John Udell's walking narrative that uses a unique Google Map Hack. What? Google Maps Hackable? I've been so busy with other stuff I hadn't even played with it, but now I discover this (http://69.90.152.144/collab/GoogleMapsHacking) and this (http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/) which are really interesting resources for Google Map Hacking. The potential seems way fun...
So then I was watching what seemed like a regular video tutorial and I notice that this guy has a link to find out more about screencasting... screencasting? I haven't heard of this... So I clicked around a bit and foiund this: which pretty much sums it up, I guess. I have to do more research. But his point about sharing our use of tools through video and audio and images is pretty cool. I think a lot of people forget how creative we can be with a tool. Just look at all those people using a wrench for a hammer, or a nail file for a screwdriver. We're born to it. We are not necessarily limited by the limitations of software packages or any other technology. But that's a different post...
