RT @solobasssteve: this from @kristinhersh / @50footwave is brilliant - entire catalogue via torrent, pay what you ...

I also had this idea about surveying the different sounds grill pans make when you bang them.

I accidentally started a thing last night, BlogSchool collections videos I've found educational and inspirational.

I wrote a long ASH-10 post about CyberFlaneurism and how it wasn't supposed to be easy. fao @bounder

Thanks to @stanscafe for making me aware of the film Stalker which I am in the process of acquiring.

I'm sure I recognise that panda. Part of the San-X range? Investigation needed...

Couldn't be bothered to set up a t-shirt shop. Just mocked up my @editorialgirl / @citizensheep shirt instead.

@editorialgirl: @citizensheep @Sharl @peteashton SATURATE ME WITH YOUR JAM MICHAEL

@daveharte Found a more comprehensive (if seemingly Google invisible) archive page:

@daveharte December 2009.

@daveharte Bingo! Sadly @fiercefestival appear to have wiped the 2006 archive from their website though...

@daveharte Ah, was a piece in itself from Ikon Eastside. But I'm sure it was featured in a walk...

@daveharte This is the sign.

I am passive agressively referring to this:

@peteashton yep -

Mr @hellocatfood took my footage from the GLI.TC/H festival last Nov and, frankly, glitched the shit out of it.

“Fujiyama Attack” by Guitar Wolf is my new jam. ♫ #thisismyjam

It's World Press Photo time again. Some lovely work, as ever.

@citizensheep How about websites which automatically play councillors?

Oooh! A collection of @nickabadzis' Hugo Tate out in April from @BlankSlateBooks. This IS good news!

Putting character descriptions from novels into police sketch software to see what they look like.

A GIF I made for @byobbirmingham, which I'm curating with @hellocatfood in March.

Over on Art Pete I finally wrote up the Averaged Selly Oak thought experiment I did in response to @EC_Arts's 40 Sheet:

Food cupboard is looking a bit studenty

Jay Z's 99 Problems build out of movie clips: Almost unwatchably frenetic.

Speaking of auto-destructive art, here's 4 films from the mid-80s by Survival Research Labs:

@bruces: http://t.co/MJS31qd *Why do I download weird, scratchy, Mexican sound-art and then think, surprised, "this is weird scratchy sound art?"

Am quietly pleased by my bloggery on @fypanet today:

137 might not be 365 but it was a pretty good run.

Fiona put her hair straighteners on my beard. I think I can now see how to groom the fucker properly.

As someone who takes lots of photos at events and probably uses the camera as a crutch / something to do, I’ve thought about this “experience” thing quite a bit. Probably too much, really. But here’s an observation.
In order to take a good photo you really have to understand your subject. Sure, you can rattle off hundreds of shots and select the best, but that’s not very satisfying. To really get that photo that means something you need to watch, to get under the skin of the performer, to predict what they’re going to do next so that you can capture it. It’s a lot like big game hunting in that respect, I guess.
So yeah, when I’m taking photos of performers I’m experiencing the shit out of them. Though I accept not everyone waving their shitty cameraphone is.

I contributed some money to help @cashmusic build a Wordpress-style platform for musicians- here's why:

If they haven't already, Tearoom strikes me as the sort of thing @flatpack and/or @VIVID_ should show.

I think The Art Of Google Books is my favourite found art project since, ooh, the last one. Gorgeous stuff.

Happy to be able to recommend the Raiders of the Lost Ark fan edit documentary to you. Much fun.

Someone, I think @paulbradshaw, asked me for best use of "social media" by an arts org. I'd say @stanscafe's blog:

Found Nyan Cat.

When I first signed up to Flickr I uploaded a bunch of old photos but here's the first one I took FOR Flickr. 11/9/04

Looks like he's staying there all night...

Washing the (hot water bottle) dog cos he smells bad.

The @cashmusic kickstarter is a REALLY important project, check it out, pledge, join the fun :)

This walking festival that @nikkipugh and @falsedog are doing looks fricking ace.

Got @Katchooo a puppy for her birthday. Kinda. (it has a hot water bottle for innards.)

Ooh! Readability integrated in to Tweetbot is a wonderful wonderful thing.

@bruces: http://t.co/mTgXnJN *See, e-books really ARE the same as analog books only more so.

@mrphoenix Amazing find - thanks!

Gonna give this Twittelator Neue a spin. Nice to see innovation in iPhone Twitter clients.
