We live in a ridiculously hyper fast pace life where information is exchanged so rapidly that it makes us feel inadequate and drains our attention span. This painting was executed at the GALORE festival in Copenhagen, Denmark. The painting is a time-lapse composed of over 9,000 photos and painted over a 5-day period. As irony […]
Michael Anti (aka Jing Zhao,) a key figure in China’s new journalism, has been blogging from China for 12 years. Despite the control the central government has over the Internet — “All the servers are in Beijing” — he says that hundreds of millions of microbloggers are in fact creating the first national public sphere […]
That’s right. A stunningly low proportion of only 16% Americans know what “the cloud” is, according to a national survey conducted by Wakefield Research, commissioned by Citrix.

I don’t actually know how long this goes on for (it just keeps going and I didn’t have the patience to wait longer than 5 minutes), but it’s a pretty awesome use of Flash, combining art and technology in a really beautiful way. While I am a fan and appreciate the work that has clearly […]
I didn’t know they even had spells on eBay. I don’t actually use eBay that much anyway, but this was still a bit of revelation. So apparently it’s been a thing to buy things such as magic spells, curses, hexes – even prayers and blessings! eBay has now declared such a thing stupid and is banning […]
