1896AD, Willseden Green, London, England. The original 'X Factor' takes in a marque with six competitors, who have to sing while holding a pig.
This competition was the 'harebrained brainwave of an auctioneer called CF Rowley'. Evidently he wanted to increase his sales and came up with the idea to create a crowd. It worked.
And the prize for the signers, the pig itself. Who won it? We don't seem to know. More can be read on the BBC website, which was shared with me by Brick Spartan. Minifignick choose this scene for today's post.
This is part section of my contribution to the 'London 1875 - Capital of an Empire' display by Brick To The Past which will be at STEAM and Brick.com
Excerpt from rbg.ca:
Morphecore Prototype by Daito Manabe
b. 1976, Japan
Lives and works in Tokyo, Japan
Daito Manabe’s work presents an endlessly dancing digital figure, continuously morphing into new shapes, moving beyond any logic of physics or laws of the universe. Extracted from MRI scans of the artist’s brain, raw brainwave data is translated into digital movement that manipulates and choreographs Manabe’s 3D-scanned human body, alongside visual noises and glitches generated by distracting thoughts in the brain. The work thus presents a new potential relation between the brain and the body, emphasizing the ability of the mind to move into the infinite, while the body is still bound to physical limitations of motion, gravity, volume, shape, and form.
Daito Manabe is an artist, programmer, and DJ. His works branch into a variety of fields and take a new approach to everyday materials and phenomena. His practice is informed by careful observation and a quest to discover and elucidate the essential potentialities inherent to the human body, data, programming, computers, and other phenomena, thus probing the interrelations and boundaries delineating the analog and the digital, the real and the virtual.
Yeh. Another splash shot. Lots of them lately but I really like them. Seem to go in stages so probably a few more to come before I move on to something else!
I had a brainwave in the cleaning up process though.. Large shallow tray thing under the glass so most of the splash lands there!
No processing. Only a slight crop and a straighten (My desk clearly isn't level lol)
Rick: You're a camouflage.
Morty: Camouflage? What are you talking about, Rick?
Rick: Ricks have a very distinctive and traceable brainwave due to our genius. The best way to hide from an enemy's radar is to stand near someone with complementary brainwaves that make ours invisible. See, when a Rick is with a Morty, the genius waves get canceled out by the, uh, Morty waves.
Everyone from the President of our great nation to the little guy on the street knows that we will never succeed as long as Space Aliens continue to harvest our brain waves to power their evil plans at world conquest.
You want to get ahead in this world, you need to get a hat -- and I mean a REAL hat, made of aluminum foil to block X, Y and Z waves from getting to your brain. The only way we will win this war is to protect ourselves from alien brain control.

I shot this with an iPhone 6s Plus at the recent Winter Lights Festival in Canary Wharf, London
It's a light art and sound installation comprising of 30,000 LED's connected to an EEG sensor attached to the volunteer's head to measure their brainwaves. The sound and light display is controlled by the person, amazing to watch!
What makes this even more unique for me is the person stood in the shot with the EEG attached is a light painter, James Bear! He was 'tripping' for ages after this experience!
For RU OK Day, I had a brainwave and got everyone to pose around the company tennis table and toss a ball in the air while I took a shot. I photoshopped in a few extra balls and here is the result!
w00t, i had my first ever eeg done! \o/
the nurse said it's 'quite normal' (eh? 'quite'?) and there are no signs of structural anomalies or epilepsy. it'll have to be investigated by a neurologist for a proper report though.
it can be nicely seen how O2 and O1 show alpha wave activity with closed eyes - this means the brain goes 'idle'. as the O electrodes are placed on the back of the head - where the visual center is - this is absolutely normal.
FP1 and FP2 are on the forehead, right at the frontal lobe. input / movement from the eyes is shown here; the spikes i had with closed eyes are due to minor movement of my eyes with closed eyelids, also normal.
the rest shows some kind of normal, low-frequency beta activity...
except for F4. what the fuck is going on in my right frontal lobe there? normally, low-amplitude beta-wave activity it to be seen about equally distributed in both F3 and F4. but in me, while F3 shows normal beta wave activity, F4 shows insanely high frequency, high amplitude beta activity. what the hell is going on there?
if you know what is going on in F4 and also what this part of the brain does / controls exactly, PLEASE fill me in!!
Today's story and sketch "by me", started at early thirty man cave time, I was having my morning cup of "Chock Full Of Nuts" the heavenly coffee, and a Double Banana Chocolate moon pie, listening to Steely Dan's Countdown to Ecstasy CD, when the "FAA" Flying Aliens Association emergency situation alert began screeching , the amber Lights on Bullwinkle's antlers started blinking, and then the emergency fax rolled out a high priority intergalactic emergency crash site location. The crash as you can see is not a major intergalactic incident, at the moment there seems to be no Beaked Being or human injuries, no leaked plutonium putty, or massive out of control fire. Though there is a new very troubling situation recently discovered concerning Bewitched Trees, like the one sketched, that have previously never been mentioned as an intergalactic or dimension jumping threat to civilian or military flying. This previously unknown Bewitched Oak was cursed by the most evil Gypsy Voodoo Princess, many of my readers may remember her, Zooelda's mother Madussa, who Bewitched the Oak to capture Broom Flying Witches who came near her heard of Enchanted Goats, that grazed this area of the Mojave Desert, long ago when it was described as the garden of Eden, before she turned the area into a nearly uninhabitable one hundred forty degree daytime temperature waste land, which will have to be a story for another time. Today the Oak sucked in Dwebber a Beaked Escondildian who was flying in the vintage Stearman he recently equipped with the latest cerebral mind control flight system. Recently a visiting Martian Seeker an expert on witchcraft and other Voodoo spells, estimated there could be hundreds of bewitched trees in the Mojave that may become activated by the Beaked Beings Brainwaves, until next time and possibly news of more pilots using only their minds to control flight systems, and possibly their brain waves unlocking the centuries old Madussa witch magnet tree curse, until then taa ta the Rod Blog.
i only want it back
~~EXPLORED!! :)~~
alright, so im even a little creeped out by this... but its different eh?
oooh today is just a creepy day... we never talked but Sara and i were totally on the same brainwave today. We had the same concept idea... but they look way different so its ok :) FREAKY!
Walking through a few trees in some parkland this Kestrel flew in from my left and landed on the top of the tree. We did this guy thing where we stared at each other for a while when suddenly I had this brainwave of taking a shot or two of him. I thought he posed very nicely. He seemed too preoccupied to start a conversation so I continued on my walk looking for an elusive Goldcrest.
Wanted to wait until I assembled all of them to upload the picture. I just finished them tonight I’m still missing The Wizard and Solomon Grundy but I tried to recreate there photo. I wonder who painted that for them interesting to think they have a free lance painter or something lol. I would have liked to do a complete Star Girl version of each one but it’s hard to see Gamblers full outfit from that portrait so I did a comic book version for him. I’m also missing the man next to the gambler and since he’s dead and hasn’t appeared physically within the show yet I think that he might be Fiddler. He doesn’t look like the pre lizard version of Dragon King so I didn’t include whoever it was in the photo. Hopefully Dragon King and The Wizard can come soon. Before I can make Dragon King tho I need a Chimera lizard head and a pair of El Dorado legs. I’m just going to assume the other guy is the Fiddler and he is simple enough to make a comic book accurate version so I’ll try that and maybe update this photo. Alternatively I’ll make his wife from Star Girl and maybe retake the photo and put her in it.

I know they aren’t like anything special they’re just villains but does anyone else relate to just really loving a custom they made? Like these are probably some of my most simple designs but for some reason I just really enjoy them and I’m very happy I made them
Sometimes I laugh at my own thought processes. I'd taken this book out in the garden to get pictures of it in the grass, etc. (as you do), and then saw the evening light peeping through the fence... and the washing line was just there. And I wanted bokeh for Bokeh Wednesday. Cue a (sort of) brainwave and there you go. :)
I've already read this book (I've been thinking of re-reading it actually) and seen the movie based on it. If you've not read it, I highly recommend it. It's very, very good.
HBW!
p.s. I'm thinking of maybe doing a sort of washing line mini series. Ooh, with maybe daisies on the washing line... there's always time for more daisies. :)
The 383, whose terminus was a five-minute walk from our house, was a jolly handy little service if you wanted to reach anywhere out Oldland or Keynsham way. Sometimes I did, but I usually forgot that it existed and walked. In the other, homeward-bound direction I could never work out its route and which bus stops to wait at. You can't always totally blame passengers for their dimness when it comes to understanding bus services: they used to confuse me sometimes ...and I was an employee of the Company. I can remember using the 383 twice: once to reach the starting point of one of my enjoyable colliery-tracing expeditions and again when I had the brainwave of using the service to reach Bath via Keynsham, instead of going to the bus station in Bristol ...five miles in the wrong direction. I ought to have used it more.
Seen here at Park Estate (Shops), Cadbury Heath, is this Leyland-engined Bristol RELL of the Bristol Omnibus Co., new in 1969. I've always thought of the RE as falling into two camps, flat windscreens and rounded windscreens. Actually, especially among the former, there was considerable variation. T-boxes gave way to side-by-side destination screens, briefly with route numbers on the nearside, then on the offside. Windscreens became deeper, there were single or double headlights, two-leaf of four-leaf exit doors and some messing about with reversing windows and lights. It was Thursday 15th February 1979 and these dual-door versions soon found themselves living on borrowed time.
Yes. I got i brainwave today! I got my new internet connection working! I had KPN they promised me 20MBp real was 13 MBp. Know i got ZIGGO. Promised 30 MBp. Real speed 28,5 MBp. It was my own fault that i could not connect. Bad reading, i need glasses (LOL). So i am back! Goodbye KPN!

They say that if you're hooked up to an EEG to monitor your brain waves, those who are monitoring you can tell 8 seconds before it happens that you are going to have an epiphany... a creative breakthrough. Apparently the activity in your right interior superior temporal gyrus spikes. (check out Jonah Lehrer's new book if you're interested in where creativity comes from.)
I often have a feeling... best described as a craving - but for what, I don't know. I do feel like I almost know what it is. Like if I could just breathe a bit deeper, I would smell that smell I've been trying to smell. It's a slightly frustrating feeling but I also really like that I can't quite grasp it - a potential that floats out there for me to someday grab hold of. Dwelling in Possibility (Emily Dickinson). I wonder if they could monitor those brainwaves....
I couldn't quite pass up this beauty of a cloud - see Wallflower image - without a few more pictures and boy when those birds flew into place - it was awesome! :)
If we focus hard enough, are we able to get in touch with that thing called the Universal Consciousness? And if we do, can we communicate with others just by using our minds? I dunno, but Sliders Sunday seemed like a good time to try, especially since "Things Used To Communicate" was the theme for the Our Daily Challenge group :-)
HSS, folks!
Flickr friends, after Sunday, I'll be taking a brief break from Flickr. See you when I return.
A glimpse within the human mind?
I was experimenting with oil and water but achieved some very unexpected results.
Week 12
Supervillains recruited from prisons and sent on covert suicide missions to shave off jail time. Nanite bombs in their necks to keep them on a short leash. Everyone's disposable. Nobody's accountable. And brutality and death is just another day at the office. In the front, there's Catseye, Brainwave Jr., Icicle, Artemis of Bana-Mighdall, & Calendar Man
And in the back, we got Deathtrap & Doctor Moon
