the square root of -1 by James Tindall, who also did modify me.

neostream: serious multimedia company.

It's all happening in the digital music arena this week: just as Apple announce their rocking new music store and other goodies, a judge in L.A. rules that file swapping software is legal (although the status of kazaa is still not clear).
Might be bad news for the punters though, as legal action may now be moved down the chain to prosecute the actual, individual end-users.......

Plustech Walking technology. Vehicles of the Empire anyone?.......

Fry your synapses with this 4D Model of a tesseract.

The Matrix Reloaded is to be released in IMAX cinemas.
Coooool.

New switch trailer :)

proce55ing.net - "a context for exploring the emerging conceptual space enabled by electronic media". Interesting.
.......blagged from lightcycle.org, the blog of Mike Davis, which is crammed with juicy visual computing links. Respect.

craymachine from zefrank.

metafilter community weblog. Highbrow blogging by anyone (including you, if you want to join in), with interesting links as a result - respect.

The rumours about a new Palm Zire with built-in camera (posted earlier this month) turned out to be true.

This page was unavailable due to huge demand until recently: it's How to make a Starship Enterprise from a floppy disk - could there be anything more geeky?
Apparently, the answer is yes.

kilfish - more dark, strange, provocative art presented against a stylish flash background.

We had a good laugh at the "Looking at a thing in a bag" cartoon that was posted last week at homestar runner, seemingly in lieu of a new strong bad e-mail (strong bad had left a post-it on his screen linking to the new 'toon). When I went back today, it was gone. Noooooooooooooo!
Fortunately, I found it again. Phew.

That superb honda advert in full.

flying puppet - kooky, cool, french weirdness.

BlogPluck - Read blogs and parse RSS feeds on your handheld. I reckon I'll have a play with this....
Ended up at ReadYourPalm whilst looking around, which is also worthy of further investigation.
...blagged from optical poptitude, which, as always, is full of blogtastic goodness - respect....

bsimple - conceptual photography from Misha Gordin. Very, very weird and compelling images.

Furniture for Jimbo-San :)

dot 16 - the worlds new smallest website.
guimp.com are apparently pretty pissed off.......

If you have a copy of Action Comics No.1 issue in good condition, it's supposed to be worth about $250,000. Or, you could save yourself a quarter of a million dollars and read it online here, where someone has scanned the whole thing in.

I've posted a link to xiaoxiao before, but they've tidied it up. Watch some early classics to remind yourself and then interact with some of the animations, like no.4.
The later nos. 7 and 8 rock!
There's a demo of xiaoxiao no.9 here as well.

BuddyZoo - AIM buddy list stats and degrees of separation. Could be interesting, but I can't get to AIM from where I'm working today.

The filewalker messenger; a "PDA in credit card format, with integrated GSM/GPRS tri-band and GPS", hands free phone and vibration options. It also features an MMC/SC card port, infra-red and a bluetooth interface. It runs Linux :) and is, of course, German (links on this page are to small pdf's in English).

The new Matrix trailer is out.The phrase that leaped to mind when watching it for the first time was "Oh my God". They weren't exaggerating; this really is going to be something else altogether.......
You can download a high-res version in zipped Quicktime format here, but be warned - it's nearly 100MB in size, so broadbanders only need apply.
blagged from slashdot

minima - a journal of the small and the potent | microfiction | art and design, apparently.
Looks nice though.

One for the geeks: USB Floppy Disk Drive RAID - under MacOS X, of course.
This bloke is a proper geek loon; he gets well excited when he creates this RAID set with an unusably small capacity and piss-poor performance. Then he gets carried away playing with memory sticks, and his final plan is just superb....
It made me (involuntarily) laugh anyway (what does that say about me?).

A SETI at Home security vulnerability has been discovered, but there are patched versions of the client available for download here.

Another weird news story - wouldn't it be great if it were true?....... :)

Red Hat 9.0 - coming to a machine near me soon.......

The post for alveolata noctiluca neonlight (below) was a link to such a great flash site that I did some digging, and there's more! :)
Go to macopism and click on the "Gallery" link.

Rumour has it there's a new palm Zire on the way, featuring a digital camera. Picture here.
