and now for something promised...

finally, it seems that other less serious chores actually enabled me to solve the problem on this little bugger. so here we are with something i hope is a bit more serious, I will get around to burying it within the main site, but for now you can find it here.

its an animation that this still, which i had posted before, was taken from earlier...

I apologize for the video quality, a sacrifice that had to be made in order to get it online. even still, it doesnt bother me so much. the sound file is not mine it comes from here.

someone was asking what the blue squares were all about. they are a panel that rotates due to the gyroscope forms you see (those circles surrounding the blue squares). this rotation or manipulation would be done by a remote viewer through an internet interface (phone, computer, pda, etc.). the square framework that the gyro-panel is in facilitates a modular methodology that allows a large matrix to be constructed.

cheers,

lapsing realities...

it seems so much these days is being said about science, religion, politics, and the like. i suppose it is a good thing that these subjects are being talked about. just as long as the dialogue remains open and there are no pre-concluded realities imposed upon it.

in the spirit of all this, and also, at the bidding of a friend who has been very supportive of my healing, i have posted the following for whatever. (it may be slow in loading, so be patient)

there will be more serious animations posted at a later date, it is just that there exist a host of technical difficulties, and this little video has done wonders for frustration. so many frustrations, that i would really rather not get into it. but hope that the computer doesnt crash today, and i am able to accomplish something more serious.

nonetheless, enjoy some of my insanity, ahead of april fools day of course....

cheers.

phbbttttt.

the great and wonderful sound of making a raspberry, perhaps quite perfectly the sound of frustration and utter boredom. take for example the caged orangutan, with nothing to do but watch the same routines, and the same people, the orangutan speaks the only sound that has relevance to the situation. phbbttt...bill the cat knew this too. of course, i suppose if one wanted, this could also be a euphemism that speaks to current cultural, economic, and political situations if one were to go that far.

in the meantime there is this, a part of more to come.

some lite symmetrical reading...

a friend send this to me today, puts a bit of a dull light on those of us still thinking in 4 dimensions...

in all actuality pretty exciting stuff, now of course the challenge is to see how it applies.

more images of the 3 phases

or at least one, of phase 2 from the 3 phases idea, the blue panel is manipulated by way of the gyroscope contraptions surround it. thus, it is a modular system with some possibilities...

surgical adventures

for those that may not know, i had to have surgery on my left knee as i had managed to re-fracture it a few weeks ago as a result of stubbornness and being too aggressive with the physical therapy. surgery was yesterday, and now there will be permanent hardware consisting of two screws and some cable that will hold it all together. recovery is set at six weeks with some pretty strict restrictions on movement, a leg brace is to be worn at all times, along with the assistance of crutches for limited moving around. some of you may know that i was planning on taking a few trips this spring, it looks now as if that will be delayed until the early or mid part of the summer. luckily, the arms work very well, and as long as i manage to keep the leg raised, i will continue to work some with sketches and computer work.

repetitive breakdown...

having difficulty exporting the current work...oh well, it seems that there just isnt any hope for hard-headedness.

as for other acts of hard-headedness, and the blind leading the blind, had a thought yesterday, nothing earthshattering, but in a perfect world we would have leaders that were calm and rational in the face of terror. thus, enabling them to make clear and responsible decisions...

alas...

i speak with many people, however, they are in the minority of friends and even more so they are generally forward thinking and rather progressive for the most part, thus the collective opinion is rather skewed in terms of proportionality, but nonetheless, many of them are rather curious just how long it will take for leaders to be proven guilty and for the masses to rise up in true force, not the percentages that we are seeing but larger, think landslide.

nailbiting, and edge of your seat stuff, even though for some it may seem obvious but it really must become a chant, especially for the younger generations. vote, if you do nothing else, vote.

and if you dont believe me, go here, the circle folks have compiled some great data on youth voting...and remember your favorite medicine cuz it is going to hurt, things are getting better, it is just taking a while.

repetitive in motion

oh this is fun...some stills from new matrix

breaking...

hasnt been much news to report on this end, as for the most part the news in the papers and world has been a little bit more interesting and perhaps more relevant. however, there has been some new work posted to the site, checkitout on the main page, specifically the link to 3 phases. am trying to see if a web project or something will come out of all this...will keep it posted if anything distills.

cryptic and crypticosity prevail...am going back into surgery for the knee, managed to re-break it a few weeks ago, so more metal going back in and around the patella.

oddly, being back in the united state of amnesia has resulted in far more existential dilemmas than the time being in france. nothing specific to report, just the usual quandary discovered in a society that is over-connected. funny, the forest for the trees...and the choir for voices really does leave more to desire.

for those that were wondering the latest animations were done with a freeware combination orginating with Google Sketchup...fun little thing that just keeps going.

be well...
