Found this classic random tee in the bargin bin at my local Kmart shop. Can anyone translate the Khmer text for me?
Collage that we rejected for the cover of our Super Duper Nova zine, but that I still really, really like.
Dropped: Palisades Park, Santa Monica, California
Number of toys: 1
Made by: Robert Mahar
Dropped by: www.JuniorSociety.com
When: January 27, 2009
And Robert says: This is one of my favorite spots in Los Angeles, a park perched up above the ocean and filled with equal parts tourists, joggers and homeless. Hoping this toy makes someone's day.
I posted a tutorial on the Junior Society this past week on how to make felt Valentine Mice with little Swiss cheese hearts. This week I'm participating in the Toy Society project - leaving 10 mice nicely packaged around the Los Angeles area to be found and given homes by complete strangers. I love this 'random acts of kindness' project! The hope is that as they are found the new owners will email the Toy Society to let them know. You can follow the project at www.thetoysociety.blogspot.com/.
Another post (some of them have been remixes, essentially) from a recent random double exp roll shot on the run (didn't I vow to set aside time for actual photo drives/walks?). Both of my parents had medical emergencies last week, and for the moment, I'm just pleased that they're feeling better (and I have a moment to post another of these oddities). Thanks for stopping by. Prost. ^_^
Our first day in Cairo, we were just wandering around, and this looked interesting. Presumably part of a mosque, but other than that, I really know nothing about it.
This thing is battery operated but still works.. but I cannot set the alarm anymore or change the minutes because the buttons aren't responding. Found it at Goodwill for $2.99
Random Chain shows a subtle break in color, as two intersecting liquid surfaces crash against each other.
Apparently, a construction worker decided to hang up this headshot of Anna Pinna. Who Anna Pinna is, I have no clue. Still, there you go.
(Actually, like everyone else on the planet, Anna has a web site. Still, why her picture smiles back at me is anyone's guess.)
Around Cologne Bonn airport there is a nature reserve called Wahner Heide. I went there to check it out. It is nice, especially with a mountain bike but the frequent planes and the ubiquitous dud-warnings (it was once a military training ground) kinda destroy the mood.
This is a panorama at some random Rock I found. Looks like some sort of a monument.
(sorry for the bad Photoshopping, the stitching didn't well so as smooth as expected)
Possibly my laziest photo, ever. I woke up to see the sun hitting my 6-string. I managed to take the pic, fart about with the colours and upload; all without getting out of bed.
The long stretch of windows fronting the Wellcome Trust in London plays host to a series of installations: the latest is an interactive light piece by rAndom International...
Reflex is the seventh of the Trust's annual installations and reacts to pedestrians passing by its premises on the Euston Road. It emulates 'swarming behaviour' and is apparently based on an algorithm developed to replicate the collective decision making seen in large groups of creatures such as birds or ants.
The piece is constructed from hundreds of brass rods and thousands of LEDs arranged on small custom chips. Reflex recreates 'stigmergy', the Wellcome Trust explain, whereby traces left by random actions stimulate further actions that build on one another, leading to the spontaneous emergence of apparently patterned activity.
Random Lines
Automatisierte Zeichenmaschinen
Wer sich letzte Woche im Foyer der Holzstraße über die miteinanderverzahnten raumgreifenden Scheiben wunderte, dem wird an dieser Stelle nun die Auflösung geboten: Bei dem beeindruckenden, aber arachisch wirkenden Konstrukt handelte sich um eine automatisierte Zeichenmaschine, die mit Little-Bits-Komponenten gebaut wurde und grafische Markierungen auf Papier hinterlässt. Littlebits wiederum sind elektronische Bausteine, die magnetisch mit einander verbunden variable Lösungen ermöglichen. Input- und Outputmodule werden durch Stromzufuhr, Regler und Sensoren ergänzt und ermöglichen so ohne Programmierung individuelle Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten. Das Seminar »Random Lines« unter der Leitung von Prof. Anna-Lisa Schönecker und Benjamin Knichel nutzt Littlebits um eigenwillige Maschinen zu konstruieren, die automatisierte Zeichenserien erstellen.
