Picasso in the orange blocks is new. And so sad. Go take a look.
This site is an emotional roller-disco ride.

I think it's fair to say we all had a great time at the first Suppose extravaganza.

A little plug for the first Suppose LIVE PUB-BASED EVENT
on Thursday evening in NottinghamLand, UK.....maybe people are dialing in this web address
and wondering whether to go. Well, I tell yooooou, you have to go, because....

- It's organised by the very talented and über-cool Suppose crew.
- Vastik Root is making the air molecules vibrate.
- It'll feature ***IBM Girl*** in my visuals! Could I be any more vague?
- It's in a pub.
- It's in a pub.
- Beer.
- Mmmmmmm.

Been re-reading Generation X by Douglas Coupland. I think
I last read it about 5 years ago. It always makes me feel a bit weird.
Great quasi-slogans are peppered thoughout...
PURCHASED EXPERIENCES DON'T COUNT
LESS IS A POSSIBILITY
SOIL ISN'T A DOCUMENT
...and so on.

I've been a little bit deficient in bringing you glitches recently,
due to other demands on my brain-cycles recently. Not fully up-to-speed
yet, so this one will have to remain bichromate. It is a simple bipartite
study in the growth of a young sapling. A tree will grow in time. The tree
will grow old and wise, before being chopped down to make fashionable
retro wooden hard diskette drives for the 30-somethings in the year 2030.

Reet. I'm off now to program some depression-inducing visuals for Ed from Suppose's
EVENT on Thursday. I should have a placard around my neck 
saying FRESHLY-TYPED CODE (think FRESHLY-CUT SANDWICHES).
Of course, freshly-cut sandwiches are just a marketroid way of passing off
lame old stale bread and festering potted-meat fillings to an unsuspecting
public who pay good money.......as for freshly-typed code, well,....

SPECIAL FEATURE - CAMBRIDGESHIRE RADIO TELESCOPES

Last one. Thank you for watching.

SPECIAL FEATURE - CAMBRIDGESHIRE RADIO TELESCOPES

Couldn't resist doing a cheesy bit of Photoshoppery on this.
I think I should leave the photographic manipulations to the
photo-blog experts, such as MILOV and 990000 and IF THEN ELSE.

This might be the last telescope photo, you'll be glad to know.
Perhaps just one more of the CLFST.

3 DISHES WITH LENS FLARE

Well, I've had the honour of having my sideways-scrolling vertical stripes
being shown at the Warp Records vs London Sinfonietta event last night, 
at the Royal Festival Hall. They used it for the opening movement of György Ligeti's
Chamber Concerto. Next time it'll be horizontal stripes, by God!
The best part of the evening was the Sinfonietta's interpretation of Boards of Canada's
Pete Standing Alone. But no Super-8 nature documentary visuals to go with it?

On a separate matter, is anyone enjoying these photos of radio telescopes?

As I approached the dish, I could feel my sandwiches heating up from the
intense cosmic magnetic radiation.

This is the Ryle Telescope Array, just stuck out in the middle
of some farmland.

This is the Cambridge Low-Frequency Synthesis Telescope (CLFST).

SPECIAL FEATURE - CAMBRIDGESHIRE RADIO TELESCOPES

This will be a very regular feature, at least until I've scanned in all
my pictures. Then the feature will stop suddenly. Not glitches, I know.
File the images under "brain food" or "inspiration". The pictures were
taken with a 13 year old freebie camera from a catalogue. So, no, not
a digital mega pixel thingy.

The first image just sets the scene. There's my red bike! There's a bit of
flat-as-a-pancake Cambridgeshire countryside. And there's one of the Cambridge
radio telescopes. It's not the best or closest shot I've got. Stay tuned and
all will be revealed. You won't be disappointed (unless you're of a
particularly sour disposition).

Please wait while my photos are developed. A very special treat is in store
for you! The photos were taken with an analogue camera-box, and so require
post-processing chemical baths.
