my digital art-work

All of my friends know that I’m fascinated with digital art work based on mathematical constructs such as fractals, cellular automata etc. I’ve long thought that there’s something special about capturing the beauty of an equation or mathematical process which mimics natural phenomena in graphical form. Without wanting to get too philosophical or it somtimes appears that the images give you a true glimpse of the mind of God. Anyway, I’ve used lots of different tools to create pretty digital images of equations that I’m fascinated with. Thse include a 3-D panorama of the “life game” plotted as a plasma graph and refined using Macromedia’s wonderful Fireworks. I’ll be putting an online gallery of my work online over the next week so stay tuned…

Observing new media trends

I posted not so long ago about Georgia Tech’s prescient presentation on the media museum of 2014. While reading the sunday dailies & the sunday blogs today I noticed that the observer has gotten a shiny new daily blog. Here’s the low down from boing-boing

The weekend paper is now supplemented by a daily blog, with podcasts and moblogs. The RSS is fulltext (crap, no it’s not — this is such an important detail, Observer — get it right!). Trackbacks and comments are on and unmoderated. Keywords are tracked and displayed in a “folksonomic zeitgeist.” Headlines from competing papers and Technorati link cosmoses are pulled in and displayed on the front page. No paywall. No adwall. No wall.

. It’s wonderful to see an established & certainly distinguished paper so thoroughly embracing new news dissemination technology and in the true spirit of the web, offering everything free of charge

some blog redesign work

I’ve been playing around with fractal generation over the past few weeks . Some of the results have made it into the redesign of Ordo Ab Chao. Feedback is appreciated but I’m unlikely to change much over the next few weeks. Also, many thanks to those surfers with time on their hands who mailed me their opinions on my new look. The dreads are also here to stay 😉

Newsflash: CTO gets entangled in a rastafarian cult

Thought it was about time I put a new photo of myself on the site. I’ve gone all rasta in the past few weeks so here’s me looking moody and showing off my new dreads in tasteful b et w. My tongue is firmly kept in cheek BTW.
