I’m currently looking into either buying / making an arcade cabinet. Pre-made ones are pretty expensive and most are a bit OTT. An alternative is to buy a kit and then build it and decorate as I see fit (plain with no decals, if you're asking)… or I could try and build one myself.
Yeah, that’d be good! Draw up some plans, cut the wood, buy some buttons and joysticks, then reveal my masterpiece to the world! Just like these lot did. This site presents the very best of the very worst. The commentary and sheer randomness of some of the designs had me cracking up. Enjoy.
Below is sample of an experimental sound application from a site we’re making for photographer David Rowan. You can leave it playing on it’s own or interact with the lines to sculpt the audio. Enjoy.
It’s been a while since we made any updates to the Portfolio section on the site. So today we’re happy to add 3 major website projects; The Deaf Cultural Centre, Visit Birmingham and Marketing Birmingham. Don’t worry we’ve not sold out — in fact the next project to go up is quite the opposite. Variety is the spice…
Just when you thought you couldn't see properly… I love informercials they're so cheesy - it's like you've seen the best - now check this!!
To fill you in some more, I actually own the one below. Read on for more…
You can now have KITT direct you to your destination with the Knight Rider GPS system. The device is actually voiced by William Daniels who played KITT in the series. Ace!
This Saturday (28th June) myself and Chris Keenan will be performing at the 7 Inch Cinema 5th Birthday Shindig. For any Birmingham based cats who have not been to a 7 Inch event before this is a great chance to see what they're all about. Expect fine music, obscure short films and tons of inspiration.
If you're coming down to especially peep me & Chris doing a Super 8 ambient soundtrack then try to come early; we're on around 7.30 / 8ish. (I'll be posting the set up on here next week.)
So I updated to Firefox 3 the other day and have been generally impressed with the subtle but sweet updates. It certainly feels faster on the Mac than it's slow-as-a-slug predecessor.
But today I discovered a major glitch in the upgrade… all my Firefox 2 bookmarks have disappeared!? What a cack handed mistake that is.
After a quick bit of research it seems it's a known bug for those who tried out the Firefox 3 beta for a while. There is a work around but it looks like a royal pain.
Luckily - my bookmarking is a bit shoddy at the best of times and I only recently moved back over to Firefox from Safari in my game of browser tennis — so the most useful bookmarks I do have are still safe.
Anyways - let that be a small warning — back-up your bookmarks first just in case.

FireNes is a wicked little widget for Firefox that lets you play zillions of NES games right there in your browser. The plug-ing takes about 5 seconds to install (the site is in Spainish - click 'instalar FireNes') and then you'll have a sidebar jam packed with classic NES titles. All you need to do from there is pick the game and play. To set options and find out the keys, CTRL-click (right click for you PC losers).
Shame there's no full screen option - yet.
The work of Julia Schonlau has put a big smile on my face today, and that’s just what I needed. Brilliant.
Like the eyes at the end - ace!
