"On Death Row" - New Television Documentary by Werner Herzog
by Guest carthief- 0 replies
- 590 views
Has anyone seen the commercials for this? Looks very intense and interesting, to say the least. Herzog is pretty much exactly the person I'd want to direct this kind of exploration. He seems to have a very respectful, searching, yet sensitive way of dealing with heavy matters, especially death. http://www.mediaite....out-journalism/ * I was under the impression it would be an ongoing series, looks like it's set to be a four-part documentary.

With technology constantly pushing forwards, and some fairly remarkable ideas starting to reach the consumer level, it increasingly feels as though we are experiencing what could be a very significant period in scientific and technological breakthroughs. For example, augmented reality is coming on in leaps and bound and with the impending google goggles could be on the verge of becoming a widely adopted technology. Similarly the possible inclusion of haptic feedback in the iPad 3 could mean tactile response becoming more and more common place. Then you have numerous advances in transplant and prosthetic science. Replacement limbs and organs becoming increasingly a…

I love Indie Games. What are your favorites? Don't say Dwarf Fortress, everyone's heard of that. Tell me about something I haven't heard of. Some of my favorite developers have been: Cactus Squid (Clean Asia) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzvURmXlTaE&feature=related Teknopants (Uberleben) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yzxkGfYe28 Jason Rohrer (Sleep is Death, and Between (Free game on Steam) http://sleepisdeath.net/ Between is really cool. Deals with reality and dreams being related. It's 2-player only, so one controls reality and one controls dreams or something. Cool concepts and nice to zone out and listen to music too. Reminds me of paperrad.…

1. There are no guilty pleasures. There is only “guilt” and “pleasure” and you really never should conflict the two. 2. Before you commit to saying you hate something that brings joy to people (and doesn’t hurt others), think long and hard about your reasons for doing so. If in doubt, enthusiasm beats cynicism. 3. There is no authenticity, only sincerity. 4. It is more important to be nice than it is to be right. 5. Like what you like and encourage others to do the same. If you do that and keep an open mind, you’re cool. (No one can tell you how you ought to feel.) 6. The concept of “celebrity” is the curse of the modern age, don’t fuel its fire. 7. Qual…

Recently in the United States, there has been a surge of support for legalization of marijuana. From what I've been seeing in the news lately, quite a few states will have amendments on the ballot in November related to legalization. There's also been increased pressure from Latin American countries to legalize because they're practically falling apart due to cartels. They could begin by legalizing drugs themselves, but the real big consumers are Americans, so I doubt the illicit drug trade would suffer much if they still had the United States as a viable market. All this change excites me. However, I am young and... idealistic, so I realize I might be naive in thinki…

in West Va, about an hour west of the D.C. area, we've had an extremely mild winter. as soon as mid-February hit, it stayed in the 60's, feels just like Spring. i was really looking forward to the kind of intense winter we had two years ago. i barely went to work because of all the snow, it was a dream. last year's wasn't amazing, but it wasn't as warm as this. i really love the snow and Winter. i just bought a nice new DSLR and haven't had any snow to try it out on as of yet. if you have some snowy pictures, i'd love to see them over a cup of cocoa. snowbiz

Right, so today I turn 25. After meeting up with virtual strangers (and a gorgeous, british-accent-toting indian/middle-eastern-looking woman), I must say the birthday as started well. Considering the fact that the (edit: birth)day is on Friday, I turn it to you, fellow watmmers: what are you doing this weekend (I would assume in celebration of my birth)?

squarepusher Deadline for Squarepusher comp.=Sept.20th 2k11

The Pusher comp has been pushed back enough that I know a lot of people haven't been paying attention to the pinned thread in EKT so I thought it was a good idea to put this where people might actually look.
