Project Idea: Context Free or Processing Header Plugin for WordPress

By MattK | Published: March 24, 2010

Somebody get that monster a cookie

I love the Bergen stop on the F train. Someone is always improving the terrible advertisements. This one was too good not to share.

Church Music

By MattK | Published: February 24, 2010
The mighty Jeff Crouse just made us all a bunch of spacey Church Music. All the glory, but now hot and synthtastic. Seriously – here’s a hot sample. St. Anne’s Prelude

By MattK | Published: October 2, 2009
The Miro open subtitles project just got funded at kickstarter. The promise is an open source of subtitles for video. Now the subtitles won’t be restricted to the people who made the video. They are anticipating use for the hearing impaired and for translations.  Why am I excited? The project is also designed to make [...]

By MattK | Published: March 8, 2008
Grafitti isn’t just a bunch of crap tags scrawled out on a building. Sometimes it is much better. This is where talk about property rights becomes more interesting. Look at the cross-section of folks who stop to look, photograph and enjoy the street art Banksy put up. How much jail time should he serve for [...]

That cat does not exist

By MattK | Published: February 27, 2008
I was talking with someone on our ski trip about taking the Garfield comic strip and removing the word bubbles from Garfield as a way to show the true story in the Arbuckle house. Today I found garfield minus garfield, which erases Jon Arbuckle’s hallucinatory cat to show “the tortured mind of an isolated young [...]
