Bostonist Live!
February 15, 2005Read more
Happy day! Bostonist launched on Monday, along with Seattlest. It’s the offspring of the popular New York City blog Gothamist. I’m hopeful to finally have a local news source that I enjoy reading, written by people who seem to be from my generation.

New Media Poetry
February 15, 2005Read more
Was scanning vispo — langu(im)age, a website that is the “online book” of one Jim Andrews. There’s quite a bit of interesting stuff that’s in the “Experimental New Media” category, with links to many animations, tools, and writings about the Art. I didn’t have time to look over the entire site, but I plan to go back.

China in Spaaaace
February 14, 2005Read more
Stefan Landsberger has a fabulous collection of Chinese propaganda posters from 1949 onwards. Not only are there tons of pictures, but the accompanying historical commentary makes it educational as well. Spans both Nationalist and Communist sides, for those of you who might care.
The image shown here is an example from the “Space Propaganda” poster section. They’re “earlier artists’ impressions of Chinese space travel”.

Pavement Illusions
February 13, 2005Read more
Stumbled upon Pavement Drawings, a gallery of artwork by artist Julian Beever drawn on the ground. I enjoyed the “anamorphic illusions”:
Anamorphic illusions drawn in a special distortion in order to create an impression of 3 dimensions when seen from one particular viewpoint.
It must be pretty cool to come across something like this in your day-to-day travel. Check out hist other work too.

Blocked Banners!
February 12, 2005Read moreSo I’m up here in Maine, looking at my website, and noticing the blue top “David Seah” banner was missing. Not only on Firefox, but also on Internet Explorer! After some poking around, it turns out that Norton Internet Security has an advertising blocker in it that does not display any image named “banner.gif”. So for months, anyone who has been running Norton Internet Security has not see the top banner. I renamed banner.gif to topbanner.gif, and the problem has gone away. I suspect other ad blocking software does something similar.
