This is an interesting channel, they are the guys restoring original Apollo hardware for preservation. This video is specifically about the DSKY, I love the relay clicks that it emits when changing its display.

I am attempting to get my life back into line. So far, I am learning to sketch so I can make technical drawings of projects that I have in mind. Since I have 'graduated' from high school about 2 years ago, I am considering into taking the ambition to finally go and begin a career in majoring in Physics. Maybe some discipline is also needed to develop in me; I've been sitting on my butt instead of doing something after work.

Anyway, enjoy this section from a composition for a play by Ravel, it's /calm/ing.

Found this cool site where you can find inspirations for graphic design or if you want to see cool industrial designs.

The farm cat population around here has risen to at least 28.
They are very friendly but some are shy.
Here are some pictures:

About today, I had a nice Easter with my family. We went to church and then stayed at the supper that was served there.

Other than that, I've been considering in learning German to understand some of the developments of technology and art—straight from the original source, such as Konrad Zuse's designs for the Z3 computer and his Plankalkul programming language. Other interesting things to have come out of Germany were the development of typefaces such as Neue Haas Grotesk and the birth of modern industrial design from people like Dieter Rams. It's real interesting over the amount of innovation that came from such an area.

I've posted this video before on the schlog, it's an animation work by Yoshinao Satoh by taking numerous clippings from newspapers and creating a continuous timelapse of the many sections of the one singular published newspaper. The music that was used was of Steve Reich's Differing (or Different) Trains. It is also one of my favorite contemporary pieces, the train whistle is the actual use of a violin. The piece is reminicent of Gyorgy Ligeti's Atmospheres in which such sounds are made by ordinary classical instruments.

Here you can see how the piece is performed:

Good shit man, I enjoy reading your posts here. Although it is strange to me that you would join a retarded edgefag site that is irony poisoned like this one. But keep posting if you wish to do so.

Thanks. I find people around these types of sites interesting. I post this type of stuff since there isn't any of it that exists online, usually everywhere else it is the same thing with no originality. If it starts harming the site, tell me and I'll move it somewhere else.

No no, by all means post what you want. I'm not going to complain about it. Although if you can expand on "finding people around these sites interesting" and "usually everywhere else it is the same thing with no originality" for my own curiosity's sake, I'd appreciate it.

Apologies for the late response, I went to sleep.

Around the schlog (or similar sites) some like to draw, some have specific know-how on a game. In other places, they don't care about the hobby at hand, it's like troons inflitrating a hobby to plaster their flag and fetish about. With originality, it's like when ShreddedNerd talks about content being 'slop', you see the same caption, topic, image or video reused over and over with minor changes. There's fun involved with what is made around such as the variants or edits of soyjaks.

I've actually wanted to do a metrically compatible Helvetica-lookalike typeface and I plan to start working on it later this summer.

nothing notable happened in the last few days

I enjoy the designs of old computers and electronics, they have a unique charm to them.



Simple geometry and a structured, yet simple interface. Very modernist.



Modular design and crisp VFDs.

Note: I don't have much to post these days, I haven't felt motivated much, even to do so on the shroom. I just feel apathetic, don't know why.

Well, you can always leave or take breaks from any site. Come back when you wanted to or just stop using it. I've always liked your posts, though.
