The website for Urban Bingo has launched in preparation for the upcoming games in Seattle. The site was designed by one of my fave designers Paola, who does amazingly cute work.

Urban Bingo has been selected to be part of indiecade the International Festivals of Independent Games. Each city will have a distinct board set with pieces for the local area.

Fauxcialite Website Launches
The website hosting all the lovely spinning photos from the initial party has now launched. Check it out http://fauxcialite.com/
I think there is something nice watching peoples poses change both over time, and in rotation. I typically describe the system as creating Matrix style images, but this is not entirely accurate. In the matrix [...]
Dynamically generated balls
I spent 1.5 hours late last night playing around with Flash animation for the madlib karaoke project. The idea behind the project is that the music video dynamically generates based upon movement from the performer. The aesthetic we are going for is dropping LSD in a toy store in Tokyo.
This initial [...]
CopSpot One Sheet
For those unaware of the project, I have been working on a Web 2.0 site for the discussion of community law enforcement agents and policies. I have just written a one page description that provides an overview of the project, which is available here

Serendipitous Anthems - Appearing @ Conflux Festival

Project Description:
Traversing urban space is frequently associated [...]
Lessons Learned: Fauxcialite Rotary Photos @ Korrupt
My last post was ten days ago. Not so coincidentally, ten days ago I met with Luna of Fauxcialites and agreed to do a last minute build for the upcoming Korrupt party. In retrospect, I never want to agree to have such an impossible turn around time again, but also, I am really glad [...]
boozBot N.A.P.
So as many know, NYC has an iron fist firmly pressing down any FUN. I currently have an upcoming performance at court for drinking a beer outside from within a paper bag. The latest from the bastards: we can’t have liquor at Saturday’s event.
Jeff and I discussed: should boozbot serve water, [...]
Mobile weaponery
Last night on the L train a 50 y.o. black man (I’ll refer to him as “the man” in this post) dressed in nice clothing, took out his Nokia N95 (a near $800 phone) and began videotaping the people sitting around him. “Look at all the freaks sitting here. All you see is faggots [...]
