An hour and ten minutes of colourful video art(efacts)? Yes.

Seeing this reminded me of an old “project idea” I had involving painting my old 80s boombox white and converting them for use as auxiliary/portable MP3 speakers. It also made me think that I now want to paint the majority of my functional belongings/furniture/appliances white.

Com Truise - 84 Dreamin’

Just found this rare Com Truise track whilst flitting through YouTube, I didn’t recognize the title and there’s hardly any information about it online but oh shit is it good.

After searching for about 6 months on eBay I finally found a good deal on a Nimslo 3D camera and purchased it. The one I got looks like it’s barely been used, though the frame counter is a bit sticky and it the hot shoe is loose, so I’m debating with myself whether or not it’s worth opening up to give it a minor CLA. A quick tip is to NOT use WD40 for stuff like this, for reasons shown here. Hopefully the hot-shoe will be fixed easily with a bit of epoxy. 

Whilst the cameras may seem quite similar, The Nimslo 3D is the higher quality predecessor to the somewhat laughably shoddy (though cheaper and easier to find) Nishika N8000. Whilst both Cameras have 4 lenses, though the Nimslo’s are glass and the Nishika’s are inferior plastic. The Nimslo also has continuously variable automatic shutter speed and aperture, whereas the Nishika has a fixed shutter of 1/60s and manual 3-option aperture selection.

The main reason I bought this camera is because I really wanted to have a go at creating some wiggle stereoscopy GIFs, Something these cameras are very good at, due to having 2 more lenses (and thus frames) than most stereoscopic cameras. For examples of wiggle stereoscopy, have a look at the excellent GIFs on the Lenticulations website.

Mum just came home with 6 1/2 bottles of wine and more chocolate than I’ve ever seen. She’s told her class that she doesn’t like chocolate but she got more than ever. Yessss.

TimeScapes: A Portrait of the American Southwest.

I know (and dislike that) the word “epic” is thrown around an awful lot, but damn is it ever apt when being used to describe this movie trailer.

The combination of an Andy Gilmore illustration and a scientific publication on the theory of the multiverse pleases me greatly.

Forget GTA V, Pro-Pain is the game I’m really waiting for.

Don’t think I’ve been more excited about a TV show than I have about this coming out soon.
