Lovely sampling grain.

[...this] radioactive dance around uranium fuel tubes.
Stare into the eye of this Medusa for long, and you
will surely die.

Just found this on Warp Records site:

    BBC Radio 3 have confirmed the broadcast of the 
    Warp Works & 20th Century Masters concert for 
    Saturday 26 April, 10.45pm gmt.

I don't want to bang on about it too much (did I mention that some of
my visuals were shown at the event?!), but seriously, it's worth tuning in
if only to hear the Sinfonietta's interpretation of Pete Standing Alone
by Boards of Canada. Just amazing.

It's not actually a totally regular piece of video memory, 
but I haven't made it particularly easy for you to see 
through your obligatory chemical mask goggles.

In a real attack situation, this is all you will be able to see.

Can no longer open Photoshop after defragging my sun-hardened diskette.
So now I am forced to find new ways of working under algorithmic control.

The computer console makes all the decisions. I press the round grey button
and pay for its electric thoughts by direct debit.

Always use high quality tape and progressive acceleration technology
in your spooling motors to avoid stretching during random-access
of the corporation data.

Laminate to reduce eddy currents in the ferrite core.


SCHLOK UND AWW

06 APRIL
Quote from my Mum, circa 1984, after using the lightpen on my Dragon32™
Home Computer to draw some shapes using a rudimentary drawing program, directly
onto the televsion screen (replete with green plastic overlay):
    
    It's like dragging water.

Since those halcyon days, technologies have improved tenfold, and nowadays the
United Nations' standardized software programmer human-unit uses the Mouse™
to manipulate the computer's CPU.

Gorilla-Arm Syndrome.
Gulf War Syndrome.
Chemical Ali.

This image is so cool. It's from my good friend Richard at THE DRAGON ARCHIVE,
which is the place you want to go to for your fix of Dragon-related nostalgia!
Analogue can be nice too.
