it's about 6 weeks away from the premier, but being such a popular show i thought it would be fun to start our speculation now. post whatever theories you have about the ending, multiple timelines, reincarnated characters, etc. this will be one show to watch in 2010.

From Wikipedia: Rather odd that there is almost no discussions about this here, some well known musicians (like Brothomstates - Dune/Orange) were part of demogroups... and there is many very talentuous people in there, generally the music is made to fit the visuals (or vice versa), both are complimentary, generally with great technical limitations (example: custom built soft synth, all sounds synthetized in real-time etc) Here is some of my favorite demos, old or not so, of eclectic style not especially well known outside the demoscene (keep in mind that demos aren't just videos, they are programs that are meant to run in real-time, you can download all of t…

heya, how's it going? so, i put together an album i'm calling "Light From A Closing Door". (by Ourson, my ambient output moniker) i'm on the hunt for an image that captures this feeling. preferably a photograph... it's melancholy, personal, and nostalgic (like all ambient music, perhaps) bear with me, i'm trying to describe this feeling i have as best i can... Light From A Closing Door is sort of about regrets, or missed opportunities, or memories that we forgot about, until stumbling upon a box of old photographs, and missing the people in the pictures because they are far away, or no longer with us... the light that shines from a closing door is the l…

Brainfuck is the coolest programming language ever. http://esoteric.sange.fi/brainfuck/impl/interp/i.html There are two global variables in every Brainfuck program, a pointer to a byte and an array of 30,000 or more bytes. All values are initialized to 0 in the array > increments the pointer (goes forward 1 cell in the array) < decrements the pointer (goes backward 1 cell in the array) + increments the value at the pointer - decrements the value at the pointer [ begins a loop whose entry condition is while(*ptr>0) ] ends the loop , reads a byte from console into the value at the pointer . writes the value at the pointer to the console An…

Or in my case rather, separation from the woman you moved to another country for but then she backs away and tells you she's too introverted to have a long term relationship with anyone weed. It's the shiznits innit! So basically the only way for me to comprehend this is to write the story down, and as I don't want it read by people I know, watmm is my safe heaven, cause only weird folk like me hangs around this neck of the woods... Now without further ado: T'was a bright june morning in Terjärv, Finland, the birds were chirping away, the dewy grass expelled a most tasteful fragrance, and this very fragrance, accompanied by the first rays of sun for the da…

Time for round 2. 16 matchups! 32 contendors remain. The top four seeds are still in the game. Ejaculating into fire spurted past Crying at the end of Blade Runner by a modest margin. Noticing your glitchy CD is skipping comfortably beat Bad translator. Broken GIFs easily destroyed Analog drum kits played by robots. The thirty thousand year old virus comfortably beat Quantum computers inside contact lenses. There were also a healthy number of upsets. Default MIDI presets, in a huge upset, managed to slip past Aphex Twin's continued refusal to release anything. Slime molds comfortably beat Ulilillililililia, in an upset that is sure to enrage Uli fans (go Slime mol…

After a long wait, the Glenn Greenwald headed 'First Look' website has launched. Featuring a cover story by former Oakland noise-musician Trevor Paglen (noisegate) who was able to provide the first ever pictures of unseen NSA headquarters. The Glenn Greenwald/Jeremy Scahill story has new information obtained from Snowden leaks about how the NSA uses primarily GPS location data on a cellphone to order drone strikes, sometimes with no other intelligence whatsoever. Meaning that the people killed on the other end of that phone are assumed to be the 'bad guys' but the people ordering the strikes literally have no way of knowing who's using the phone. main site here : https:…
