  • Microcontroller Madness…..

    Not sure if this madness will be the next big thing for the Demo Scene, but it sure is nice to see some the younger generation using their talents to come up with these circuits. In the old days — yeah I’m gonna date myself now — I used to do Demo programming on the…

  • WRDL or is it Wordle….which ever way you say it, it spells fun :-)

    Head over to wordle.net and try your hand at creating a work of art using only words. It’s fun and if you’re lucky will only entertain you for a couple of hours (not days). Now back to WRDL for more ANMTD WRD PLY FN.

  • Image Slicing and Stretching….

    Found this while having a beer in Stuttgart, Germany.

  • Do you dare trust a machine…..

    The people over at 5VoltCore have put together a PD installation that really tests your courage and trust in machines. The installation sets up a feedback loop between computer, robot and the user. The user is right in assuming that the machine can fail, the machine can fail because the user assumes. Let me explain,…
