angry pacifists logo I made up

berkeley activism

As I walk the streets of Berkeley everyday I can't help noticing a lot of activism. So I've decided to make up some of my own.

• Drivers for Better Wayfinding in Northern California (DBWNC)
• Confused Muslims for Religious Tolerence (CMRT)
• Angry Pacifists
• Designers Against the Ugly
• I'm just Indignant about Stuff Society (IJISS)

<the real deal>

The religious Policeman

So he hasn't been locked up after all.

The religious policeman is a blog in true guerilla style. From somewhere in Saudi Arabia, using a satalite uplink, lies a rare insight into Saudi society. In a world where free speech can be synonymous with being locked up, the religious Policeman disappeared for a while, but now is back in full force. It's a must read for anyone looking for a real internal critique of the K. S. of A.

Flight Patterns

Air traffic as seen by the FAA.

The following flight pattern visualizations are the result of experiments leading to the project Celestial Mechanics by Scott Hessels and Gabriel Dunne. FAA data was parsed and plotted using the Processing programming environment. The frames were composited with Adobe After Effects and/or Maya and the final piece was highlighted at SIGGRAPH 2005 in the NVIDIA Immersive Dome Experience.

Roadtrippin

I finally uploaded my road trip photographs on flickr. There is a lot of cloud pictures, but then again with clouds like these I couldn't help myself. Maybe if someone is kind enough to 'gift' me a flickr pro account i can make a whole new set with just sky (ehem ehem hint hint nudge nudge). Keep in mind though, photography while driving at sixty-five isn't the most precise or safe activities.

Momma T in Da House

We the unwilling,
led by the unknowing,
are doing the impossible
for the ungrateful.
We have done so much for so long with so little
We are now qualified to do anything with nothing

Coke and the World

some photographs I took at the coke museum back in Atlanta. Kinda funny and creepy at the same time.

Nationless Rule #24 : When walking away, never look back

computerless

So I got a iPOD video for my birthday... and this is what it did to my computer. Thank god my moleskin still turns on. Siiiigh.... took me hours to get it working again and she's still not feeling well.

Nationless Rule #43 : Don't ever let technology drag you down with it.

Computers have sucidical personalities. Don't expect them to outlive you.

Never depend on anything not to break, get lost, or stolen. Being nationless means being able to draw on napkins with ketchup if you have to. If put inside a locked empty room with white walls, draw with your mind (or get the gaurd to smuggle you a crayon). ^_^
