Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Tuesday, 12 May 2015. The Ridiculous Handrail and other oblique functions. I’ve got a big backlog of writing to push out here, but I wanted to start off with a story of a curious handrail I saw at the National University of Singapore (my alma mater) when I was back there in March. Who on earth made this handrail, or ordered its installation here? Too bad for the people at the bottom of the stairs). I suppos...

OPEN URBANISM: October 2014
http://openurbanism.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Thursday, 30 October 2014. But what does ‘quality’ really mean? How does one begin to quantify the ‘quality’ of an image? How does it affect our appreciation of the image, or original subject of the image? And what does quality mean when we apply it to life itself? What do people mean when they speak of “quality of life”? Posted by debbie ding. Along the way out there was this lovely signage with a white pe...

Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Tuesday, 17 February 2015. The Spherification of Edible Liquids for Impatient People. After a few hits and misses doing spherification experiments over the last few years for fun, here is a collation of some personal observations or lessons learnt about spherification that people don't generally seem to explain properly in all the other recipes or online posts about spherification.

Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Thursday, 22 May 2014. The Launch of the NewBiologist. My main goal in the production of these images has been to produce something which has the unreal sheen of something computer-generated, have a high degree of photorealism, but be obviously handdrawn when observed close up. The entire image was digitally painted in Photoshop and is not a photograph. In an exploration of long-form creative non-fiction st...

Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Tuesday, 10 February 2015. Google Street View Vanishing Point. Drowned in a dozen different digressions at once! I’m on the inside. looking outside. And you can see the different street view operators themselves in CCTV cameras at times if you zoom in…. I went to google and it seems these interior street views are now an independent thing where approved photographers can do it on behalf of street view, so a...

http://secondlifemonster.blogspot.com/2011/12/second-life-art-rebeca-bashlys-arctica.html
Monster Eel's Misadventures in Second Life. Monday, December 26, 2011. Second Life Art - Arctica Dreams. Rebeca Bashly's Arctica Dreams is a great big ice world with translucent walls, misty columns, and flowing water. You start off on the top of a big snowy plain with a hole in it, and then you have to jump into the hole to see this icy dreamscape. Or is it simply that many people's sexy fetishes actually involve them dressing up as skanky hoes? There were also some more traditional ice sculptures.
