Xmas List – Dress
Dec/090
Uh… I want this dress. And I can’t buy it because I am “saving”. This makes me sad.
It is tailored in Italian cotton, and I want it. Recently tweaked to have a side pocket and stripy ribbon at the waist part.
You can buy it and rub it in my face here.
Little Houses by freekhand
Dec/090
Ermm, Little Houses. That’s pretty much it. What? It amused me.
STATS
Houses: So many.
Offices: unknown.
Streets: unknown.
People: unknown
Free space: 0.
I think it would be cool if the population was “one”. Perhaps like a Where’s Wally/Waldo. Just sayin.
Bad Romance
Dec/090
When I first saw Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’ music video I was pretty intrigued by it. I mean, the outfits are pretty extreme but it’s also packed with symbolism. Check it out:
Apparently, it reflects the dark and ritualistic inner-workings of the entertainment industry, by symbolically depicting Gaga as a sex slave.
I found this article really interesting and goes on to talk about torture techniques, mind controlled slaves, Baphomet, (the horned idol of Western occultism), and Anti-Christian Symbolism used in the video.
Its a good read for a Monday morning that’s for sure!

8-bit Trip is a stop-motion music video that pays tribute to that generation of videogames, using the building blocks. Created by two crazy Swedes requiring over 1500 hours of work, who knows how many LEGO and a chiptune soundtrack.

Smellivision
Jun/092
The SMELLIT concept is like a “smell printer,” emitting odours that coincide with what’s happening on your TV.
No, seriously.
As your DVD player reads the video and sound information from DVD, SMELLIT processes the same DVD, but the “smell card” decodes all the smell information from 10 to 20 seconds ahead of the actual scene so the odours have time to reach you. After decoding the smell information, the cartridge vaporizes a very small amount off concentrated “smell gel,” and the central fan equally distributes the smell in all directions. It can be loaded with 118 cartridges, each one with a different concentrated smell gel. All the cartridges can be easily changed and last 3 times more than a regular ink cartridge.
Have a look at the website for more info on Smellivision.
