Amazing stuff for those gorgeous LCD panels I’m sure you now have in your home somewhere. Mad props to the artists, this is some sick stuff.
wohbits 2007.12
some neat tidbits from the past 24h:
- the geminid meteors are coming:
- this week’s This American Life had a great bit on Nauru, an island I keep forgetting about.
- by 2100, North American Great Lakes “…water levels are expected to fall by 1.5 to 8 feet…because of the higher temperatures.”
- The Depreciation Guild is a neat 2-guitar and 1-Famicom (8 bit chip music) band. You can download their entire album, encoded at a very high bit rate, gratis. (Give them money anyway!) You can also read about the NES-Shoegazer genre.
- oh, did I mention? chumby is way cool.
