New character illustration to accompany the Owl visuals for my next gig.
Sweet Noise Podcast
I provided the visuals for the 3rd Audio-visual podcast released by Argentinian label Sweet Noise, which is now available on their website.
There are new characters on the way, so Owl will soon have company.
I like what they’ve written:
The crazy images are from Vj Mono, proyecting his fantastics graphics like a mirror!

Friends Alex Parish & Julian Keenaghan launched their unique web site, ‘Tastebuds’, last year, to enable single people to meet other single people with the same taste in music. The service makes use of the music information aggregator, Last.fm, which means users can log onto Tastebuds and in a few clicks, find single people with the same music taste and contact them. All for free.
Here is the new flyer and refreshed logo I have done for them.
Solid State drive vs Hard disc drive
I was comparing some data today because I have to buy a new laptop and I have to decide between the older Hard disc drive or a new solid state drive that’s considerably more expensive. Is it worth it?
I was skeptical as to how much better a solid state drive would be against a 7,200 rpm HDD. I found this startup race video uploaded recently, and the results were surprising: 19s boot speed for the MBP with an SSD, and 33s boot speed for the MBP with a 7,200rpm HDD.
73.7% / 1.73x faster.
Banksy replied
I am ill in bed, catching up on some films that I wanted to watch, including Banksy’s film, ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop’. I remembered that I had written to Banksy whilst carrying out a research project for my art foundation in 2005, and, that he had replied:
There are two things I regret about this email. Firstly, I should have asked him something a bit more useful. Secondly, there is no need for the word ‘fucking’ in the last sentence; I think I might have wanted to sound more bad-ass and dramatic. Now that I think about it, those kisses at the end were totally unnecessary too.
My Dad on the cover of Woodturning magazine
Outstanding.
This must be the most esoteric magazine I have ever seen: ‘Parting tools‘, ‘sharpening jig‘, ‘microwave seasoning‘ and my personal favourite, ‘drill chuck in the headstock‘. It’s all a complete mystery.

Bogotá Typography

I was wondering around Bogotá in July and couldn’t help but notice all the lovely hand-painted street signs particularly in ‘La Candelaria’ district (see ‘Calle de la Esperanza’, which means, Road of Hope). But the lovely typography didn’t stop there: it was all over the district, adorned on libraries, law firms and corner stores. Besides making the area appear prettier, the reduction of cheap and generic shop signs that usually colour-clash, made the area feel consistent and particular.
Can you ever imagine London council officials naming a road after hope?
The Future according to Google Search Results
Filed under: *Commentary*, Politics
XKCD has put together a sometimes amusing, sometimes frightening portrait of what the future may hold, based on Google search results.
This is the single most interesting thing I have seen in 2011. Even though most of it will turn out to be incorrect, timeline accuracy aside, there is a lot in there that’s highly probable.
