The 50x70cm poster "Dr.Fail" is our participation for the SEEAR Exhibition 2013 themed "Superheroes".
The brief was to create a character and visualize him through a poster.
-
The poster exhibits the origins of Dr.Fail through three basic timelines. Two of them are centered around his personal life and events, that inspired him to build machines and weird inventions, most of which failed miserably. The third timeline is focused on his relationship with Megumi, the girl who unwillingly broke his heart and transformed him to a super villain.
-
The idea behind the poster is not to show the character itself, but instead allow the viewer, through an emotional association, to visualize the character based on similar experiences. The color theme and the choise of the data circle, was inspired by the character's japanese origin, which is enhanced by the use of english and japanese languages for the legend and text of the poster.

Steve Lambert and I chatting about the merits of live action, documentation, and whether you can just photoshop everything. This was before his LA show.

Take a close look at the Fianna Fail election posters in Cork (this one is John Dennehy's) and you will see that they are printed in Dublin. Now, I have no doubt that Fine Gael, Labour, the Greens, etc. print their election posters in Dublin too. However, they have the good sense no to advertise the fact on their posters!
So...
I bought a new camera. A Canon EOS 450D. It's practically the same as my 400D except it has live view. I bought it so I could at last animate with live view when I shoot at uni. I also had to pay £45 for some leads to go with it so I could run it off a plugged in battery as it will be on constantly from 9-7 every day.
I was £500 down and now without a Milly, but at least I would be able to animate easier and more effeciently.
On monday I went to uni, set everything up, got the set all glued in place etc, then plugged in the camera... the software was out of date and couldn't see my camera. I went to the IT department and asked them to please update it. One of them tried to, but had to wait for authorisation. As I forgot my old camera, it meant we could shoot nothing on monday.
The next day, that IT guy was sick and we had to explain our situation to someone else. This guy refused to upgrade it. He said he had something which could POSSIBLY be it, but he didn't want to try it in case it messed everything up. He said he would try during easter. We only get the studio until thursday next week, easter is the week after.
So whilst being £500 poorer for no real reason, I used my old camera and animated half-blind again.
The day after, we came into the studio to find the computer had killed our entire animation so far. The programme had died as we had so many hidden frames in it (because we had no live view). Now the first 30 seconds of animation, which is only about 600 frames long, is in amoungst 1771 frames and I have to dig out every single correct frame and somehow put it together. I've tried to do it and it's impossible. I've also realised that some parts need to be photoshopped and I have no way of knowing what files are correct and which are not once I've edited everything together and we have no time to reshoot the start of the animation.
We now have just monday to thursday to shoot the majority of our animation and reshoot the previous lost parts. We have to have the extra lighting equipment back by 4:30pm on thursday and we have classes we can't miss on monday and tuesday.
I think we (and by we, I mean Sachiko and I) are actually properly screwed over this time. If they refuse to give us an extension, we will fail. I have wasted so much money on the animation this time, not only the £500 but also all the money for animation supplies to make the puppet etc and all of the money spent on the last animation which we ended up scrapping.
None of this has been our fault at all, it's all just horrible bad luck. We come into the studio as soon as uni opens and leave when it closes at 7pm, we get 30 seconds shot a day and we don't leave the studio all day, but it looks like we've done basically nothing.
:(
Oh and you know what else sucks? The trains around here have been broken for about 4/5 weeks and they're not going to be fixed until the end of May. I've seen Matt once, for 23 hours, since they broke and I probably won't see him again for another two weeks.
Also, my jaw has become considerably worse, I can now no longer open it enough to clean my teeth properly, fit a forkful of food in my mouth or bite into a sandwich. It also choses to come out of place sideways and at random. This causes me to look like I have tourettes as I jump and yell 'ARGH, FUCK!' without fail, every time it happens.
Northern Lights (FAIL)
Decided to chance our luck with the recent amazing photos that have appeared of the northern lights from Scotland. Sadly we only saw a couple a flashes of it in the night sky!
Pendyris Street
"Grade II Listed workshop, constructed circa 1800"
"Electric trams ran from 1902, with the No 1 route between Clarence Road, along Corporation Road, Clare Road and across the junction here into Lower Cathedral Road and Berthwern Street. From 1904, a service also ran between Clive Street and Splott via Penarth Road and Custom House Street. There was also a tram depot just under the bridge from here in Pendyris Street which in the 1920s housed 23 cars. It was a trolley bus depot from 1942 and stopped being a depot altogether in 1953. It still stands as a listed building and is a council vehicle maintenance garage - there was a short-lived plan to convert it into a modern gallery and arts space, but Cardiff failed in a bid to become European City of Culture in 2008. . . . "
The day after President Dilma failed to fully veto controversial changes to Brazil's forest code, Greenpeace activists occupy a pile of pig iron and industrial cranes near the 'Clipper Hope' cargo ship. A banner reads "Amazonia vira carvao. Brasil desliga essa motosserra. (The Amazon turns to Charcoal. Brazil Stop the Chainsaw.)" The activists are preventing the departure of the ship from the Amazon to the USA, where its cargo of pig iron will be used to make steel for the US car industry. Greenpeace is taking action to expose serious crimes in the production of Brazilian pig iron (an intermediate product in the steelmaking process) including slave labour, deforestation and the invasion of indigenous lands.

Yesterday I was so sick that I couldn't come to the office - fitst time since I can remeber. I'm usually very healthy. However, when I do catch a cold, it almost invariably attracts an opportunistic bacterial infection and I get very sick in only two or three days. I started Cipro yesterday morning and today I'm back to work.
I'm now so far behind (it's the 19th here now - the last post is dated the 16th), that I don't know if I'll catch up. I thank TELIKOM for that. If I can find a cheapy shyster in Madang today, I'm going to file a million Kina lawsuit against the clowns just for the sake of harrassment.
Here's this morning's sunrise, the first nice one for several weeks: Since I had notheing better to do that tn harrass TELIKOM yesterday, insisted that a data technician come to my house and do a data transmission test from there to the exchange. The results were exactly what I've been telling them for the last five years. The decades-old cable are totally incapable of transmitting data. This morning, when I got up, I didn't even have a dial tome.
Here's a typical shot of a TELIKOM junction box: What have we here? Hmm. . . Among other items that don't belong there are water, buai spet (the horrible bloody-looking stuff that is spat from the mouth when chewing betel nut), various bits and pieces of garbage, and someone's shoe. I have seen worse. The seem to make a convenient place to, ah, . . . how can I put this . . . take a dump. I wonder if this is a matter of bodily necessity or a comment about TELIKOM. I'v been tempted.
Need more TELIKOM goodness? How about this shot that I took only this morning outside my own office: Well, that certainly doesn't look quite so messy. However, close inspection shows some serious no-no items. First is the continual flooding. I've often seen this box full to the brim with water. Chek out the silly attemtps to plug the thing up with scraps of tape. The black bulb contains all of the junctions between the wires. It is supposed to be water-tight. Does it look water-tight to you?
I've had it with TELIKOM.
From now on, it's WAR! Startomg TODAY.
My meagre camera skills failed to capture the full glory of all the colours on display here.
Colan Church.
Myself and a patriotic Anglo/Pakistanian designer friend from Leeds (Asif Khan) who like me loves his typography designed this symbol to represent the Indian Rupee. I have searched the web for the place to enter the Indian Government design competition but have failed in my quest so I'll just upload it here instead. It's an asterisk placed on top of a zero which is a simplified version of the wheel that sits in the middle of the Indian flag. Also the asterisk and zero have monetary conetations...
EASILY TRANSCRIBED
It seems the key to the successful uptake of a new symbol is one which is easily transcribed by hand, such as the London Transport symbol (a circle with a horizontal bar through it), the Sterling currency, the Dollar and the Korean Won currency symbols, all simple glyphs with one stroke crossed through them, so this hopefully new Rupee Symbol will be seen as easy to transcribe with just a circle with an X over it, I think in the long term the 3 stroke will be lost due to convenience, just as the dollar and sterling symbols are very rarely transcribed with both official bars.
THE ASTERISK FACTOR
From wikipedia - 'The asterisk is also often used, in all branches of mathematics, to designate a correspondence between two mathematical entities represented by a single letter — one with the asterisk and one without.' and - 'In economics, the use of an asterisk after a letter indicating a variable such as price, output, or employment indicates that the variable is at its optimal level (that which is achieved in a perfect market situation). For instance, p* is the price level p when output y is at its corresponding optimal level of y*.
Also in international economics asterisks are commonly used to denote economic variables in a foreign country. So for example "p" is the price of the home good and "p*" is the price of the foreign good etc.*
THE ZERO FACTOR (Apparently an original Indian concept)
Rules of Brahmagupta
The rules governing the use of zero appeared for the first time in Brahmagupta's book Brahmasputha Siddhanta (The Opening of the Universe),[22] written in 628. Here Brahmagupta considers not only zero, but negative numbers, and the algebraic rules for the elementary operations of arithmetic with such numbers. In some instances, his rules differ from the modern standard. Here are the rules of Brahmagupta:[22]
The sum of zero and a negative number is negative.
The sum of zero and a positive number is positive.
The sum of zero and zero is zero.
The sum of a positive and a negative is their difference; or, if their absolute values are equal, zero.
A positive or negative number when divided by zero is a fraction with the zero as denominator.
Zero divided by a negative or positive number is either zero or is expressed as a fraction with zero as numerator and the finite quantity as denominator.
Zero divided by zero is zero.
In saying zero divided by zero is zero, Brahmagupta differs from the modern position. Mathematicians normally do not assign a value to this, whereas computers and calculators sometimes assign NaN, which means "not a number." Moreover, non-zero positive or negative numbers when divided by zero are either assigned no value, or a value of unsigned infinity, positive infinity, or negative infinity. Once again, these assignments are not numbers, and are associated more with computer science than pure mathematics, where in most contexts no assignment is done.
My only other good choice of symbol would be an R with a horizontal dash across it but, but that's already taken by the pharmaceutical boys for something which I've already forgotten.
This following excerpt is from wikipedia and sums up the importance of the wheel...
A few days before India became independent on August 1947, the specially constituted Constituent Assembly decided that the flag of India must be acceptable to all parties and communities.[1] A flag with three colours, Saffron, White and Green with the Ashoka Chakra (wheel) was selected. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who later became India's first Vice President, clarified the adopted flag and described its significance as follows:
...The "Ashoka Chakra" (wheel) in the centre of the white is the wheel of the law of dharma. Truth or satya, dharma or virtue ought to be the controlling principle of those who work under this flag. Again, the wheel denotes motion. There is death in stagnation. There is life in movement. India should no more resist change, it must move and go forward. The wheel represents the dynamism of a peaceful change. It also represents 24 hours in a day.
NB I have recently found out that the competition was only open to Indian citizens.

Moi-même et d'un patriotisme indien ami conçu ce symbole pour représenter la Roupie indienne. J'ai cherché sur le web le lieu d'entrer dans la compo Gov Indien, mais ont échoué dans ma quête, je vais juste pu tit ici à la place. C'est juste un astérisque placé sur le dessus de zéro, qui est une version simplifiée de la roue qui se trouve au milieu du drapeau indien.
Mon seul autre bon choix du symbole serait un R avec un trait horizontal à travers elle, mais, mais c'est déjà prises par l'industrie pharmaceutique pour les garçons que je l'ai déjà oublié.
Cet extrait qui suit est de wikipedia et résume l'importance de la roue ...
Quelques jours avant l'Inde est devenue indépendante en août 1947, l'Assemblée constituante, spécialement constitué a décidé que le drapeau de l'Inde doit être acceptable pour toutes les parties et les communautés. [1] Un drapeau avec trois couleurs, safran, blanc et vert avec la Ashoka Chakra ( volant) a été sélectionné. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, qui devint plus tard l'Inde le premier Vice President, a précisé le drapeau adopté et décrit son importance comme suit:
... Les "Ashoka Chakra (roue) dans le centre de la blanche est la roue de la loi du dharma. Vérité ou satya, dharma ou raison doit être le principe de contrôle de ceux qui travaillent sous ce drapeau. Encore une fois, la roue indique la motion. Il est mort en stagnation. Il est la vie en mouvement. L'Inde ne devrait plus résister au changement, il doit se déplacer et aller de l'avant. La roue représente le dynamisme d'un changement pacifique. Il représente aussi 24 heures dans une journée.

अपने आप को और मेरी भारतीय रुपया का प्रतिनिधित्व करने के लिए इस प्रतीक डिजाइन के एक देशभक्त भारतीय दोस्त. मैं, लेकिन भारतीय gov compo में प्रवेश करने के लिए अपनी खोज में मैं सिर्फ पु चूची यहाँ बजाए तो विफल रहे हैं इस जगह के लिए वेब खोज की है. यह सिर्फ एक asterix एक शून्य के शीर्ष पर रखा है, जो कि भारतीय ध्वज के बीच में बैठता है पहिया का एक सरलीकृत संस्करण है.
प्रतीक का मेरा ही अन्य अच्छा विकल्प यह पार एक क्षैतिज डेश, लेकिन साथ एक अनुसंधान पर किया जाएगा कि पहले से ही मैं पहले से ही भूल गए हैं जो कुछ के लिए दवा लड़कों द्वारा लिया है.
यह निम्नलिखित अंश Wikipedia और पहिया के महत्व को sums से है ...
कुछ दिन पहले अगस्त 1947 में भारत स्वतंत्र हुआ है, विशेष रूप से संविधान सभा का गठन किया है कि भारत का झंडा सभी पार्टियों और समुदायों को स्वीकार्य होना चाहिए फैसला किया. [1] एक झंडा तीन रंगों, केसर, सफेद और हरे रंग का अशोक चक्र के साथ ( पहिया) का चयन किया गया. Sarvepalli राधाकृष्णन, जो बाद में भारत के पहले उपराष्ट्रपति ने अपनाया झंडा स्पष्ट हो गया है और इसके महत्व के रूप में वर्णित है:
... यह 'अशोक चक्र' (पहिया) सफेद के केंद्र में धर्म की व्यवस्था की पहिया है. सच या सत्य, धर्म या गुण चाहिए जो लोग इस झंडे के नीचे काम के सिद्धांत को नियंत्रित किया जाना है. फिर से, पहिया गति denotes. वहाँ स्थिरता में मौत है. इसमें आंदोलन में जीवन है. भारत और नहीं, यह कदम होगा बदलाव का विरोध करना चाहिए और आगे जाओ. यह पहिया एक शांतिपूर्ण बदलाव की गतिशीलता का प्रतिनिधित्व करता है. यह भी एक दिन में 24 घंटे का प्रतिनिधित्व करता है.

Yo y un patriota indio amigo mío diseñado este símbolo para representar a la rupia india. He buscado en la web el lugar para entrar en la composición del Gobierno indio, pero han fracasado en mi búsqueda por lo que acaba de pu tit aquí. Es sólo un asterisco colocado en la parte superior de un cero que es un versión simplificada de la rueda que se encuentra en medio de la bandera india.
Mi única otra buena opción sería el símbolo de una R con un guión horizontal de separación, pero a través de ella, pero eso ya adoptadas por el farmacéutico para los niños algo que ya he olvidado.
Este extracto es de wikipedia y resume la importancia de la rueda ...

Verdad o Satya, dharma o virtud debe ser el principio de control de las personas que trabajan bajo esta bandera. Una vez más, la rueda denota movimiento. No hay muerte en el estancamiento. Hay vida en movimiento. India no es más se resisten al cambio, debe avanzar y seguir adelante. La rueda representa el dinamismo de un cambio pacífico. También representa 24 horas en un día.

我和一个爱国印度朋友设计的这个符号代表印度卢比。我在网上搜索的地方进入印度政务成分，但没有在我的追求，所以我在这里只是浦铁代替。这只是一个阿斯特里克斯放在零这是一个简化版本的轮子坐在中间的印度国旗。
我唯一的其他不错的选择符号将被限定为R的水平，但各地破折号，但是这已经采取的制药男孩的东西，我已经忘记了。
这是由以下摘录维基百科和总结的重要性，车轮...
前几天印度成为独立于1947年8月，是专门组成的制宪议会的决定，印度的旗帜，必须以各方都能接受的和社区。 [ 1 ]国旗三种颜色，藏红花，白，绿的阿育王恰克拉（轮式）被选定。 Sarvepalli希南，谁后来成为印度第一副总统，澄清了国旗和通过描述其意义如下：
...的“阿育王轮” （轮）的中心，白色的是车轮的法律拉达尔马。真理或真理，拉达尔马或凭借应该控制原则是谁下工作这个旗标。同样，方向盘指动议。有死亡的停滞。有生命的运动。印度不应该更多的抵制变革，它必须采取行动，并向前迈进。车轮代表活力的一个和平的变化。这也是24小时一天。

أنا وطني الهندية صديق صمم هذا الرمز لتمثيل روبيه هندي. لقد فتشت عن مكان على الشبكة العالمية للدخول في تكوين Gov الهندية ولكنها فشلت في ذلك في بلدي السعي سآخذ فقط بو ردا هنا بدلا من ذلك. انها مجرد asterix على أعلى مستوى الصفر الذي هو صيغة مبسطة للعجلة التي تقع في وسط العلم الهندي.
بلدي الوحيد حسن اختيار الرمز سيكون صاد مع اندفاعة عبر الأفقية ولكن ، ولكن هذا اتخذتها بالفعل الصيدلانية للأولاد وهو ما قمت بالفعل طي النسيان.
هذا هو ما يلي مقتطفات من ويكيبيديا ويلخص أهمية عجلة...
قبل أيام قليلة من الهند على استقلالها في آب / أغسطس 1947 ، خصيصا للجمعية التأسيسية قررت أن علم الهند يجب أن تكون مقبولة لجميع الأطراف والمجتمعات المحلية.

... "اشوكا شقرا" (عجلة) في وسط البيضاء هي عجلة قانون دارما. الحقيقة أو ساتيا ، دارما أو فضيلة ينبغي أن يكون مبدأ السيطرة على أولئك الذين يعملون تحت هذا العلم. مرة أخرى ، ويدل على عجلة الحركة. هناك موت في الركود. هناك حياة في الحركة. وينبغي أن الهند لا تقاوم التغيير ، يجب التحرك والمضي قدما. عجلة يمثل دينامية التغيير السلمي. كما أنها تمثل 24 ساعة في اليوم.

Обо мне и патриотического Индийского мой друг разработан этот символ представляет Индийская рупия. Я искал в Интернете место для входа в Индийском Gov композит, но потерпели неудачу в своем стремлении и поэтому я буду только PU сиська здесь вместо. Это просто звездочкой на вершине которой нуль является упрощенной версией колеса, который находится в центральной части Индийского флага.
Моя единственная другой хороший выбор символа будет R с горизонтальной через тире, но, однако, что уже принятые фармацевтической мальчиков на то, что я уже забыл.
Это Ниже приводится выдержка из Wikipedia и подытоживаются значение колеса ...
Несколько дней до этого Индия стала независимой в августе 1947 года специально созданной Учредительного собрания решили, что флаг Индии должно быть приемлемым для всех сторон и общин. [1] Флаг с тремя цветами, шафран, белый и зеленый с Ашока Чакра ( колесо) был выбран. Сарвепалли Радхакришнана, который позже стал Индии первый вице-президент, уточнил принял флаг и описал ее значение следующим образом:
... В "Ашока Чакра" (колесо), в центре белой это колесо закона Дхармы. Истина или Сатьи, Дхармы или в силу должен быть принцип контроля тех, кто работает под этим флагом. Опять же, обозначает движение колеса. Существует смертью в стагнацию. Существует жизнь в движении. Индия не должна больше сопротивляться изменениям, она должна двигаться, и двигаться вперед. Колесо представляет динамику мирных перемен. Он также представляет 24 часа в сутки.

My first attempt to "bribe" L to take a picture with his little sister. I guess I shouldn't have given him the piece of chocolate beforehand. I thought having it in his hands would give him even more incentive. I also didn't realize that 10 clicks of the camera was enough to melt the chocolate in his fingers (well, that and the 90 degree day we were having!) LOL!
E's t-shirt was a little surprise for the hubby. I recently gave him a fancy shmancy electric guitar after passing all three levels of the CFA Exam, WOOHOO! E is already his #1 fan, he plays for her every night and she loves it!
While Jennifer Aniston looks lovely, someone isn't proofreading their ad. . . .
FAR is what we scream here in the South if your house is on Fire.
and to consistently melt away up to FIV . . . (wth is that exactly ???) I know FIV as Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Yay that someone is melting that away .. . .
Happy CAT Dance.
A volunteer with Physicians for Human Rights, checks a Palestinian women, inside a school in the West Bank village of Barta'a ash Sharqiya , December 1, 2012 during a visit of the mobile clinic run by Physicians for Human Rights.
Physicians for Human Rights run a mobile clinic that operates every Saturday in a different Palestinian village in the west bank. The visit to Barta'a was part of a medical and solidarity day with men and women affected by the Israeli citizenship law. The law forbids passing an Israeli I.D. to a Palestinian from the west bank or the Gaza strip and practically froze any possibility for family reunification between Palestinians. Due to the law, Palestinians married to a Palestinian with an Israeli I.D. are deprived from social or medical rights. Many of the residents in Barta'a are mixed couples that are affected by this law.
I thought brazing on a nipple would reinforce the joint, but the fitting was too loose to contain the filler metal and because of excessive work time the remaining filler crystallized into a very brittle structure, eroding the base metal as well.
It would probably hold better if joined on a solid rod, but I would never know. I just replaced this whole contraption with a heavy-duty motorcycle bar on a dual BMX stem.

M35 as seen from the backyard on January 18, 2013. Taken while I was waiting for another target to rise.
The weather was iffy - there was a high haze initially and then it cleared nicely just before the target reached the meridian.
This is from a stack of 14 frames each 600 seconds at 400 ISO. This gives a total integration of 2 hours and 20 minutes.
As usual, the Stellarvue SV4 was used with the SSF6 flattener and an IDAS LPR V2 filter.
M35 has a special place for me regarding astrophotos. One of my first efforts with taking pictures of the night sky was with an old point and shoot, integrating 16 second exposures in photoshop. They were cruddy pictures with no real star color at all.

Amazingly, Scientific American picked up on the CSPI news released, and published it without any fact checking.
They even added an *extra* taxonomic error.
