°°° Brain-Bubbles: Zephir's Spot

Yesterday I performed in Ekko as part of the band ‘MotherMask‘, in a competition called ‘Clash of the Titans‘.

Although I think the music Taco writes is very nice, it was still a nice surprise that the jury agreed. We won this round, and our next gig will be February 8th in dB’s. Nice.

[update]We didn’t win that next round, and since I don’t have any new pictures there’s no need for a new post. I have to say we had fun though and the winner was pretty good.[/update]

Since I both like and use Last.fm a lot, this seems rather important. Important enough to blog about.

Free the music, they say. Do (or will) they really? It all depends on
the way this subscribption service is going down. It does kind of sound like what Napster did, but that’s only because of the subscription part. Of my perception of last.fm, I am fairly confident they will make this work. And maybe It’ll be worth subscribing again!

This week I took out a travel insurance, at the company where I have all my other insurance stuff. In their mail they made an error in their html coding, so now their logo says “UNIV& Eacute”, without the space though. It seems wordpress doesn’t mind that the html character isn’t closed with a ‘;’, it just keeps on converting it to É. Which is exactly what Gmail didn’t. To be fair, in the second mail I received it was correct.

Well, we’re finally there. The project is at the expo, which will open today. Grading is pending, but last wednesday the flock of teachers gathered round each project to prod and poke the project and its creators.

See what the moving screen looks like here: Phishies : expo version.

Blurb text about the project:

Phishies
by Menno van Elk, Chris Heydra and Sjoerd Kranendonk

Crowds often point to the human variant; a large group of people. After extensive research into the possibilities for using this interpretation, we came upon the usage of the word crowd for describing groups of animals. Most of the time, more specific words are used (shoal, herd, flock, etc.). The interpretation of a crowd in this project is: a group of at least that amount of individuals that permits group behaviour to be observed. The project consists of three blocks, each a window on a different version of reality. The undistorted view of a fish tank, a simulation of a school of fish and a representation of the fish in the tank, abstracted to be similar in appearance to the simulation. All this with the goal of letting the viewer decide: what is simulation and what is reality?
