Well I’ve belatedly discovered that Weebl was responsible for the animated Hexstatic video which gave this blog its name. The song was Chase Me (from Master View) and the animation is available for your viewing pleasure on Weebl’s site. I’m glad I squared that circle.
Oh and Hexstatic also appear to have posted a lovely new mix up on their site.

Off the back of the presentation at OFFF Lisbon earlier this month, where Stuart, Ben and Stephen presented Rhythm of Lines, GT have launched their GT Labs website, where cool stuff will be dropping every month or so, to demonstrate things that we do and to open up some of our work to wider communities for use and re-use.
The R.o.L code released there last week is GPL’ed and doesn’t represent the entire code base for the project but does give enough away to demonstrate working end to end from Maya into Flash and Papervision.
Though the project work represented there took place before I joined GT, it represents something I’m happy to shout about; a successful technical project which is aesthetically beautiful. It encourages play and user-engagement, and has rightly won awards and accolades.
I look forward to adding to the GT Labs contributions some time in the near future.
Long time no post. It’s been a busy few months and no mistake. Although not strictly cheese related, I felt I just had to share The London Review of Breakfasts. Great reviews, on a great subject, one dear to my heart. Not deeming it sufficient simply to review the food in question, most of the reviewers also recount the state of their minds at the time of the breakfast. Call it metaphysical reviewing. Whatever you call it, it works for me. A good bunch of folks with an unhealthy outlook on life, and a great love of the first meal of the day.
I can’t help but think that Pellici’s got a bit of harsh treatment though. Having said that, I wouldn’t know what their breakfast is like, since I only ever eat Cannelloni and chips there. But oh what chips.
We all love the stringy stuff. But it appears that some Italian police have been found guilty of loving it just a little more than is strictly legal, and have been demanding cheese bribes from delivery drivers in Campagnia.
This will do nothing for the reputation of the wonderful stuff whose name they’ve nicked. I’d far rather it was known as “Joss Ackland’s Spunky Backpack” instead.
Mark Earls, author of Herd followed Professor Rheingold this evening. His speech is also now available on the NESTA web site, and both addresses will soon be available as video too. Time to go home now.
