Website Update

In an attempt to make my website more dynamic, I created project pages. I can now easily post news related to projects I am working on, or recently completed. These project pages are build with wordpress. The main site is still using my own PHP parsing stuff. Getting all that over to Wordpress will be a major effort, maybe some day. This blog is actually higher on my priority list of being converted to a wordpress site on ideepix.nl. In the not too distant furture. I hope.

Here is some of the latest news posted there:

Wobulator

I found out about the existance of the wobuator through the announcement of the Forum Lecture Series Fall 2009 from the Department of Art and Design at Montclair State University (Tuesdays 2:30 to 4:20, Calcia Hall Room 135, Admission is Free). On October 13 [dNASAb] will speak. In his bio he claims to have "worked with the “Wobulator” Nam Jun Paik’s pioneering video synthesizer." I guess it is bad practice to retrocactively claim that when I came up with "Wobble TV" in 1984, I was inspired by the Paik Raster Manipulation Unit, right?

Pope blessing consumer credit?

Didn't get to post this earlier but on December 16, the following appeared on my Yahoo! mail:

On a related note (sort of): when posting to blogger, the new post page suggest the following:

"Labels for this post:

e.g. scooters, vacation, fall"

How many stories are there on blogger about scooter accidents while on vacation?

Now that everything on change.gov is licensed under a Creative Commons license, I have finally added a similar one to this blog (again: thank you Boing Boing)

Wide Wobbe

Did a bad, bad thing. No, I didn't Google myself, but to test a new widget I downloaded for my macbook (feedster) I typed in my first name and found the following:
