According to Mewp, who posts his theory here, the point of your existence is to produce as much dopamine as possible.
The Future was FAB
Following on from our discussion of Gerry Anderson TV series the other day, Anthony Taylor of FAB Gear USA emailed me to point out the official Mike Trim art website, and to plug the new book The Future was FAB: The Art of Mike Trim, which he co-wrote with Mr Trim himself.
“Featuring hundreds of full colour and black & white drawings, paintings, marker comps, and photos from his entire career,” the book includes work from Trim’s work on Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, The Secret Service and UFO, as well as the feature films Thunderbirds are Go, Thunderbird 6, and Journey to the Far Side of the Sun (a.k.a. Doppleganger).
Anthony’s obviously trawling the blogosphere looking for Thunderbirds postings to connect to — good on him! — so it’ll be interesting to see how successful that book is.
Meanwhile, perhaps I should mention that it’s only three weeks until my birthday… I’m sure I can find somewhere to put a 3m model of the Seaview from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Then again maybe not. I’m not that much of a nerd.
Sarah Pickering & Palla
I just stumbled across photographers Sarah Pickering (love her explosions!) and Palla (fantastic architectural cut-ups). Enjoy.
I’ve had it with dodgy “web designers”
The web is a shoddy piece of work, as any real information professional will tell you. The two incidents I’m about to relate are pretty typical — and in my opinion they’re also clear examples of unprofessional behaviour bordering on the unethical.
So why are web designers allowed to get away with dodgy work which in other industries would get you driven out of business?
A website that breaks the rules
Sometimes a website that breaks all the “rules” of web development is the very best thing to do after all. Thanks to Johnnie Moore for the tip.
Shift Happens
The little info-film Shift Happens has plenty I disagree with — including an assumption that its viewers are Americans. But it’s more food for thought about the massive changes happening in our world. Somehow our politicians never seem to have policies which take these changes into account.
