Figs | Datalegreya My Lies, Translated – McSweeney’s Internet Tendency “I’M GOOD EITHER WAY.” This is not true. I actually have very deep preferences about the course of action our group chooses to take this evening, but I’m keeping those preferences private because I fear conflict more than I desire happiness. Welcome to Sin News: Journalism for Digital Millennials Who Want the Truth – McSweeney’s Internet Tendency Don’t like it? Then go back to your lame news anchor and desk.

Poemage Poemage is a visualization system for exploring the sonic topology of a poem.

Additional details are provided in the companion paper [to appear in IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics]. anypixel.js AnyPixel.js is an open-source software and hardware library that makes it possible to use the web to create big, unusual, interactive displays out of all kinds of things.

So although blowing tobacco smoke up a dead man’s bottom may sound eccentric, it was perfectly orthodox therapy. The doctors were now at their wits’ end, so tried one more extreme treatment as last resort. This DIY pixelstick lets you make amazing in-camera effects / Boing Boing The pixelstick is an ADRESSABLE RGB LED STRIP controlled by an Arduino that can display all sorts of animations to make awesome lightpaintings photographs. Each LED acts like a pixel on a screen, displaying an image one vertical line at a time as you walk.
