Long time no speak, Internet. Life around the holidays unfortunately got the best of me, sapping away my energy and time from writing things down. But fear not, I have not forgotten my pledge to get FTIFF to 100. So here we go, four more to go:
- This NVIDIA graphics card that renders realistic human heads in real-time (includes video) - No usefulness whatsoever for me, except that I could use this to create a RobotBrian™ to scare the snot out of the dog. But it’s cool because it’s the first time I’ve seen a CG human face look real. Freakky.
- The Cool by Lupe Fiasco - Good gracious, what a monster album. Dark, contemplative, risky and verbose. Lupe treads new territory with an even less-mainstream release for his sophomore effort, which pays off as one of the most genuine hip-hop albums I’ve heard in years (moreso than Food and Liquor). Wow.
- “You Don’t Understand Our Audience” What I learned about network television at Dateline NBC - A long but worthwhile article from John Hockenberry about working in The Biz. Sad, but not that shocking.
- This dorm room door by some creative college students - Titled “Whiteboards are boring, and no one does anything cool with their doors.” Well done.
- Light emitting wallpaper by Jonas Samson - I dig all his design work, but have to admit that the light-emitting wallpaper is genius.
