panoramarama wow!

From this guy.

“I started playing with 3D on the Atari ST and later on the Amiga. Made a living out of it when moved into PlayStation development, but almost forgot it all when I switched to web design. But time has passed by and Flash has improved greatly. With higher processing power and much faster screen rendering, it’s now possible to get really nice results.”

Video for my favourite track of 2006 – bringing politics back to hip hop. From the album Panorama by Braintax on Low Life Records.

Thank god that science has made this incredible breakthrough….

Lazy Town – Baking a Cake

Cake Song

Cake Song

Lyrics:
I’ll pile on the candy,
It’s such a pretty sight
It makes the food taste dandy
But my tummy hurts all night

I’ll put in some ingredients
But keep the rest for me
I’m not just disobedient
I’m careful, can’t you see?

It’s a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake
If the way is hazy,
You gotta do the cooking by the book
You know you can’t be lazy
Never use a messy recipe,
The cake will end up crazy
If you do the cooking by the book,
Then you’ll have a cake
We gotta have it made,
You know that I love cake
Finally, it’s time to make a cake

Making food is just like science,
With tools that blend and baste
And every fun appliance
Gives the food a different taste

It’s a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake
If the way is hazy,
You gotta do the cooking by the book
You know you can’t be lazy
Never use a messy recipe,
The cake will end up crazy
If you do the cooking by the book,
Then you’ll have a cake
We gotta have it made,
You know that I love cake
Finally, it’s time to make a cake
We gotta have it made,
You know that I love cake
Finally, it’s time to make a –
‘You gotta do the cooking by the book!’
Cake!

Cocaine found on all Irish bank notes

Low levels of cocaine have been found on all the Irish bank notes tested in a recent survey.

As part of a major study into illicit drug use within Ireland, Brett Paull and colleagues at Dublin City University have taken advantage of recent developments in liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry to detect contamination on Irish euro notes. Traces of cocaine were found on every one of the 45 used notes analysed, and traces of heroin were found on three notes.

A Pentagonal-bipyramidal heptacosiicosachoron or an Othenneahedral enenecontahexachoron, I can’t decide… hmm. No, I’ll have todays special, the diprismatohexacosihecatonicosachoron. No, no, no, umm… definitely an Icosahedral hexacosihecatonicosachoron will hit the spot.

While this is ‘I read it on the internet so it must be true’ territory, I can easily believe it.

The next time you find yourself on a plane, sitting next to someone who cannot resist chattering to you endlessly, I urge you to quietly pull your laptop out of your bag, carefully open the screen (ensuring the irritating person next to you can see it), and…

Esque AV

Similar to the Drums, Piano post… here’s one that i made a while ago… music and graphics done in flash. The idea was that every sound had a unique or Visual to boot… So perfectly synchronised. Unlike audio>visual plugins and some VJ tricks that use the shape of the audio wave and the frequencies within to convert the audio to visual, this is a true representation of each sound having a visual. Perhaps the visuals aren’t purely representing the aural, but that is up for your semiotic analysis.
Not just eternity, but infinity… Speech sample is from Waking Life.

Turn down the sound and listen to something else.

Recently, a friend of mine played a set between Kid Koala and Amon Tobin in Canberra. Obviously, you ain’t no slouch if you’ve scored this slot in the first place, but check this recording of the mix. Three decks, 45 tracks, one hour.
