Testing out the Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop CS5 on a little section of an image from Heathen City 3 by Alectorfencer.
AMAZING.
See how many differences you can discern!
Also, testing out a new blogging app for iPad, so pardon any awkward formatting or obnoxiousness

Sex, Guns and Storytelling
Sex and violence, like romance and suspense, are just ingredients. Not every meal requires every ingredient you enjoy, and some are actually damaged quite severely by the introduction of ingredients that have no place there. Mrs. Cropley’s famous peanut butter & anchovis sandwiches are an example. On the other hand, sometimes strange combinations work amazingly well […]
These are a few of my favorite things
There is beauty in this world, old and new, and while it may be argued that nature’s paintbrush is more graceful than Man’s chisel, I have a love for Things People Made.
In this post I’d like to talk about the appreciation of objects in their utility and elegance, the sensations they inspire and the impact […]
Let’s help Senator Conroy get Aussies off the Internet!
Dear Senator Conroy,
As the subject of internet safety is as hot a topic in the Netherlands, my home country, as it is in yours, I have closely followed the progress of your fabulous efforts to protect Australia’s children from the exigencies of the modern World Wide Web. While I applaud how close you’re coming to […]
Google Wave: a day in the future (1)
Note: Google Wave is currently in Developer Preview, meaning it’s not yet even beta, and only has a few thousand users. The current user experience is not representative of the stated vision, so for the sake of clarity I’ve taken some liberties in this part by including functions which currently have not yet been implemented […]
Google Wave: Right here, right now.
Faster, stronger, better, more.
As a New Media fag I’m all about doing more things faster, and the Rasmussens and their team clearly love me a great deal. While Wave is an open protocol and platform, and anyone will be able to build their own Wave server with their own interface, Google’s Wave interface is fast.
Not […]
Google Wave: Socket to me baby
The Rasmussen Brothers, who sound like a zing-hip edge-jazz outfit that only really cool people have heard about, understand something that few technology inventors focus on too much: they have no control over the future. Most innovators like to own their invention and would love to be the King of the Thing that becomes hugely […]
Google Wave: What does it do?
Explaining Wave is a difficult thing. Going by bullet-points, knee-jerk reactions include understimation, confusion and dismissal. I tell you plainly, therefore, that Wave is the shit and to keep that in mind as you read this. I promise, pinky swear, that there will be honest critical evaluation later. For now, just go with it, ‘kay?
I will […]
Google Wave: Dream Come True
Henry Ford once said: “If I’d asked my customers what they wanted, they’d have said a faster horse.” Sage wisdom, that. I’m a sucker for Apple products because they consistently give me the little thrill of experiencing that someone, be it an architect, engineer or godly designer, gave great thought to making this feature or […]
Google Wave is Awesome
I’m a New Media Guy. I’m easily excited by cool innovations in human communication. Blog–Journal, Face–Tube, Twit–Space, I love ‘em — and seeing new stuff emerging day and night keeps my hipster soul as happy as a pig in poo.
Some say people are getting dumber; I say that communication is becoming more egalitarian, that the dumb […]
