Futuristic

Geeks is what we will all be within a year or ten... so keep having fun. I really like those guys at e-boy, they do great stuff, wink at the information-age once in a while (in fact all most all the time) but spirit remains... I discovered them at TypoBerlin and off course I will be attending this seminar again this year.

Argos

As I finished Talpa in a rush today, I'm finally satisfied on a crash-job I did. Crash-jobs have no input, hardly time for feedback and merely time for development. But when you pull more out then expected... the world becomes a tiny bit smaller again. Sigh, a nice strole through the city eased my mind and the new delaby is here for being posted...

As you struggle to conquer all information before and after this post, go and google, yes google :) this » Johan Grimonprez & Charlotte Léouzon: Manipulators - i'm not a horse

The world is yours

I've sold my heart to this project, formerly called azimuth but in order of the new year renamed to delaby. This is what i do to set my mind free. It is the inner map of my thoughts.. indeed very scattered but straight and to the point. Complex but yet easy to unravel with a bit of patience. I have no 'good intensions-list' for myself for the newyear except then for this one mission of setting my mind free once a day every day, by drawing one of these.

The world is all of us to take but none of us to leave.

Cellular automata

On the frontier of complexity science since he was a boy, Stephen Wolfram is a champion of cellular automata, 256 "programs" governed by simple nonmathematical rules. He points out that even the most complex equations fail to accurately model biological systems, but the simplest cellular automata can produce results straight out of nature: tree branches, stream eddies, and leopard spots, for instance.

A scientific prodigy who earned a doctorate from Caltech at age 20, Wolfram became a Nobel-caliber researcher in the emerging field of complexity shortly thereafter only to abscond from academe and establish his own software company. In secrecy, for over ten years, he experimented with computer graphics called cellular automata, which produce shaded images on grid patterns according to programmatic rules (973 images are reproduced here). Wolfram went on to discover that the same vastly complex images could be produced by even very simple sets of rules and argues here that dynamic and complex systems throughout nature are triggered by simple programs.

Caution

Grapplica portfolio-sites are temporarely offline (quarantained) because of very bad crappy support at Cheapass-holes, hosting by realroot. I advise everybody to host at Combell. Untill further notice, happy starting of the new year. And as you can see also my processor has a hard time starting the new year :s
