i feel bad for laughing.....

..... but WOW!!! this girl.... you know what? just watch it.

hello again!

so i had all these wonderful big ideas about how my next post was going to go. i was going to give this blog a completely new look, and give you guys this awesome video that had interactive embedded controls and hyperlinks built right in to the movie. unfortunately, i couldn't find a video host that would allow that kind of interactivity, and then i just lost my enthusiasm!!! so the video that i have below has some junk in the bottom right corner that look like controls, but i have disabled them in this version, since i could not find a way to allow you to access them. and the blog still looks the same. i am a failure. but i finally figured out the math associated with the manipulation of photos in order to get the results you are about to see. please - let me know what you think in the comments section. i would like to hear from each and every one of you about this. i will even let you post anonymously!! edit : apparently youtube has screwed something up with this movie, and some of the transitions get "stuck" sorry about that...... by the way - i really appreciate your interest in my blog!

2 weeks later!!!

so i started this about two weeks ago, and never managed to fix the problems, but i thought i would share with you anyway, even though some of the material written here doesn't apply any more - like the comments about "stuff below" being messy, since there isn't any "stuff below" that i have included any more......... yes, i realise that this post is all crazy looking, but i am messing around with a bunch of stuff right now. new formats for video (such as interactive controls), new ways of publishing my stuff to this site, and other things. in fact, i have been losing sleep over the excitement i am feeling about the stuff i have been working on. friday night, i was really pumped about the graphics that i had been working on to such an extent, that i didn't go to this house party i was invited to, simply because i wanted to continue to play on my computer. when i finally did meet up with everyone later, (at a bar), i got told off by a few people for being, (in their eyes), "anti-social". apparently they just don't get it. or me. anyway, so the stuff below here is going to look messy until i can figure it all out, but give me some time to figure it all out, and i promise you, it will be worth it. (at least i think the end results will be pretty cool). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- i have been absolutely astounded by how many people actually care to see what kind of crap i am going to put on this blog thing. my inbox has been jammed with notes saying things like “you’re kidding, right?”. and there have been comments left on the blog as well. i even walked in to my local mac dealer the other day, and apparently both david and jen were “devastated” that i was no longer doing this. so i changed my mind.

.... from the depths of hell and you can smell the smoke

i am about to start posting again. i will do a proper one shortly, (i am trying to iron out some bugs with some new stuff i am messing around with). in the meantime, i created a little post, with voting ability. check it out.

the end........... ?

. i have decided to get off of the internet. i reached the end of it the other day, and now find that it is a black hole that causes me to waste time, when i could be out being creative. and seeing real life, not just the digitised samplings scattered around this series of tubes........ i am going to stop this blog. will i be back? who knows? i will still be doing the email thing, so if you care to stay in touch with me, or tell me how absolutely DEVASTATED you are that i quit this blog, i am reachable here : b.e.n.robertson@mac.com later!
