Hm. I probably expected something different from this movie. Both thematically and visually. It certainly has its good (and funny) scenes. The main character is very likeable. And the tongue in cheek references to slashers are good, too. But the story was weird and too meta for my tastes. And visually this was all over the place, and I was partly really turned off by the CGI and the kitschy landscapes. So, not quite my cup of blood.

I stand under a warm autumn sun and look back and see a dark cloud, seemingly resting still in the sky. I know it is moving — getting slightly closer. But yet the day is still beautiful. There is light to appreciate.

After spots of rain, the cloud blew away and the blue in the sky where there was grey marked a new beginning.

The nineteenth episode of Wonders of Web Weaving is out:

In Episode 19, I chat with Daniel, the author of melonking.net and maintainer of the Melonland community forum about, among other things, longevity on the web, the 'web revival', the creative potential of the web, and more.

I hope you enjoy the episode!

Wonders of Web Weaving also has an RSS feed you can use to follow along from wherever you get your podcasts.

1-Bit Symphony

Tristan Perich's 1-Bit Symphony (2015) is a beautiful, raw piece of art. Five movements, played by a single microchip in a clear CD case — not a recording at all, but a circuit that performs the music live when you switch it on, straight out of a headphone jack in the case itself. Absolute transparency: the hardware is visible, the code is the score, and on-and-off electrical pulses written in assembly are all there is between data and sound.

The sound…
