The Origin: The Art, Design and Code of Patrick Gunderson
A point is a location in space. Points are dimensionless. That is, a point has no width, length, or height. We locate points relative to some arbitrary standard point, often called the "origin".

Flash Math Creativity: Second Edition
Flash Math Creativity is a book of iterative experiments—generative design. It's a showcase of the fifteen authors' experiments. The book will explain how these work and how you to can experiment further yourself. Each author does four experiments. Each experiment takes up four pages. We give you the code and explain the essence, then you take away your inspiration and run with it. The purpose of the book is to learn through experimentation because you are inspired to do so, not because someone is telling you to do so.

The EyeWriter Initiative
Tony Quan a.k.a. Tempt One (graffiti writer, publisher, and activist) was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) in 2003, and is now almost completely paralyzed, despite having full mental faculties. Enter the Not Impossible Foundation and their new Eyewriter project. They programmed custom, open-source freeware that can track eye movements, allowing Quan and others to write and even draw using only an eye, a computer, free software, and about $50 in parts (including a modified PlayStation Eye).

The Third & The Seventh
A FULL-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view where main subjects are already-built spaces. Sometimes in an abstract way. Sometimes surreal.

Rage Against The Branding Machine
So, a grass-roots Facebook campaign sees "Killing in the Name" beat X-Factor winner to the Christmas number one in the UK.
Earlier this year in June, Starbucks opens an experimental "stealth store" with little visible branding (15th Avenue Coffee and Tea - "inspired by Starbucks", but actually copied en masse from local stores in the area), sending the advertising agency in a spin. Has the worm finally turned?

The Gettysburg Powerpoint Presentation
Nobody should be surprised that PowerPoint does not measure up to the great speeches of history, such as Lincoln's Gettysburg address. And it is certainly a shame when a potentially interesting presentation is dumbed down by another formulaic over-application of PowerPoint. But when PowerPoint leads not just to boredom but to bad decisions, it is a tragedy, not just a shame.

BBC HD quality definition draws criticism from viewers
The BBC has come under fire for the perceived poor picture quality of its high definition television service.
Danielle Nagler, the Head of BBC HD, has so far failed to placate critics with her responses to comments on the BBC web site. On the BBC programme Points of View she said “There’s no evidence that reducing the bitrate has an impact on picture quality or that there is an absolute relationship between bitrate and picture quality.”
From a blog post: "I appreciate that BBC HD offers us the widest range of programming currently in the UK. But even my wife can see a reduction in picture quality and she's got cataracts."
