Wall of Death Wednesday

Alright.

Out of these pics, for a bit...

The Mile

Remember that post about guys running the mile, over in Stockton?

Here is some footage...


Be patient, passing doesn't really get hot until about the four minute mark. Until then, it's just boring bike roaring at 140MPH on dirt footage...

History

Busy

You can tell when I get especially busy with other things when things start to seem a lot like robo-posts at prettynotgood.

I was working on this show, which was a bit intense.
It was loaded with interesting speakers who were talking about how we realte with technology. The attendees were lots of folks who design stuff that allows us to interact with technology.
Lots of cool stuff and the distinct scent of futurism.


I like futurism.


Take a minute to google some of the presenters, 'cause they were talking about interesting stuff. Things like 3D sound modeling, the impact of autism in design, cookie sized inter-relational computers, non-profit urban design, audiance interactive installation art.

After a while, most of these events just wash over me. One can only hear about dull ideas delivered with dense Powerpoint slides so many times, before the ability to tune it to a level just above white noise takes over.

I actually enjoyed listening to most of last weeks folks.


That was plenty to fill my schedule.
I also got to drag a lot of gear around for some of this, which was captured and broadcast between the schlepping of gear. If you wanted to see some of that and are in the Bay Area, you can find a schedule for when it airs next here.

If I was into football I may have been more excited about the whole deal.
I did get to hear Paul Anka sing a bit and stand around with Jerry Rice.

I also got to lift a bunch of heavy stuff, have a screen almost fall on my head, refocus projectors repeatedly and...well, you get the idea.

Los Campesinos

You! Me! Dancing!



Of course, I don't actually dance.

Wall of Death Wednesday

Really, is there a better way to promote motoring safety than driving up a wall with a lion?

Another Kurtis

I kinda like this one more...

Kurtis

I kinda like this.

Ratatat

Genius video appropriation.

9/11

I am not sure how to address the 9/11 thing.

Not exactly a greeting card, have a bbq kind of day.
More of a stare into space and think about how weird I felt that day-day. Creeped out and scared...

So, you get a very solemn looking eagle, and flag graphics.

Flat Track Friday

Why?

Because they are running the mile, just over in Stockton this weekend.

(Which may be the most compelling reason I have ever heard for going to Stockton.)









Will I be there?
Probably not.

There are all sorts really un-fun things that I will likely be occupied with...
