shpongle series : horse
^^part of the shpongle series. Lately two of my friends and i sit around his apartment and paint and listen to shpongle. I started making a bunch of colored backgrounds and needed to add to them. I recently found and interest in horses and decided to paint my first horse! Not bad for a first try I'd say :)
flip book
flip book scanned pages :) This I spent a lot of time on. I changed the scene multiple times. It starts off as two mushrooms that grow into a a fork and a knife. the knife and fork mutate, and the knife cuts out President Bush's eye. Then a sea monster comes and eats everything up, and after that happens two guys are in the air flying and a tree appears. with each page a new rainbow colored piece of wood ladder is added to it. after that, the tree goes away and becomes this. alternating black and white vortex.

beat poem
Ugh, I don't get this court crap
HE WROTE A POEM!
In a time where dada was the main form of expression. De-contextualizing a normal sculpture and creating it into something new that has a different use! A poem that may be obscene yes, but too obscene? What happened to freedom of speech and creativity? You don't need to agree with what is said, it's just a form of art. Fear to air a poem is just dumb. Language is just language, and words are just words they are dead! they can be given any sort of meaning. Especially poetry- has even more of a tendency to use words for different meanings.
-will finish later

revolutionary computers
It's insane to think where technology started to where it is now, as I type on my mac book pro 13" and look at the revolutionary ENIAC that could only make 357 multiplication operations per second! Crazy! To think that the ENIAC weighed 30 tons absolutely blows my mind. I can't even fathom how large 30 tons is. Its really cool to see how important the vacuum tube was to the creating of the computer in this machine, using 17,478 thousand of them. I can't imagine how much upkeep was used for this computer.
to think that from 1964 to 1970- the size of the computer went from gigantic (ENIAC)
to normal sized (Data point 2200) .
Looking at all the computers the evolution is interesting.
it starts from this giant machine < to a single user computer with a full working GUI
Xerox really missed the boat with this invention.
To think that they came up with one of the first computers and decided that the idea was not going to make it in the world was pretty stubborn and downright dumb. If only they had stayed with producing the PARC Alto, the company would be truly a force to reckon with in today behind Apple and PC. It's amazing to think that one idea that seemed so trivial to Xerox at the time is now the idea that is revolutionizing the way we live our lives- with computers. Looking at this timeline definitely makes me appreciate using my mac, that I've broken 3 times now? a lot more then before.
Computer evolution is almost as cool as human evolution ;)
IBM really seems like it took the forefront for a lot of the early computers. The company seemed to always have its two cents into the design and aspect of future computers. It seems to be less of a competitor today which kinda makes me sad because i feel like IBM computers strive for quality where as PCs are about quantity and Apple is about design. My brother used an IBM laptop for the longest time, and it was always heavy duty, sturdy and never failed.
to think that from the ENIAC came the Roadrunner - although larger it could process "- more than a quadrillion floating point operations per second." THATS CRAZY! it goes to show how IBM is focusing on it's processing speed as most important during this time :)

watson
The thought of Ken Jennings Vs a computer in Jeopardy is pretty hysterical. I remember watching Ken Jennings play his 70 games with my dad on monday and wednesday nights before dinner and that guy knows everything! Watson is a really cool invention. It shows how far humans have come with technology. The advancement has come so far since the first computer was made not so long ago. And to think that now a computer is answering trivia questions faster then a human can? What is this world coming too? I feel like this is going to be the next generation. I don't know how I feel about having a computer as a doctors assistant, but sadly it looks as if technology is going in that direction. When it comes down to it, what would you trust with your life? A human? or a computer for answers? Kind of a tough question I'd say.
We are advancing in technology so fast that computers are going to aid doctors now? What? What happened to searching through text books for the answers to questions, or going first hand to a morgue to see human anatomy? Now everything is going to be catalogued and based on a computer? WEIRD
I mean, yeah this already happens - but to think, a computer error i feel would be far more significant then a human error. If we soley based our lives on technology, which- we pretty much are being ruled by now. My friend the other day said there was a thousand people waiting in line in front of him at the opening of the new apple iPad 2. If technology has this much of a hold on us now, what is it going to be like in the future? Who knows. But, anyway- I feel like a computer error would be much more significant then a human error. A human learns by observational learning, operant learning, vocal, through touch, and many more ways than a computer has the ability too. A human has a quality added into its learning that a computer does not have. A personal touch. Computers are just programmed to act, feel, and think like humans, but we must keep in mind they are not!! Computers are just machines! Machines with parts and pieces and metal and junk! In the grand scheme of things, machines don't mean anything to the bear bones of society. Machines just help the human adapt to its living space. Computers have zero emotion, zero feeling! I feel like we need to invest our time into other things than machines- coz all in all we are just going to die and have nothing much to say for other then a bunch of cool metal buildings and what not that are just going to get blown up anyways.
anyways ranting
back to what i was saying >.> if a computer has a mathematical error - it will mess up the whole cycle.. I don't know i feel like i would be more willing to trust a human then a computer- even though humans just have the same error capabilities.
the watson thing is over all really interesting, and pretty scary to think that a computer could beat ken jennings in jeopardy O.O
what is the world coming too...
