Kurt Vonnegut – How to write with style
August 28th, 2009 by Martin
1—Find a subject you care about
2—Do not ramble, though
3—Keep it simple
4—Have the guts to cut
5—Sound like yourself
6—Say what you mean
7—Pity the readers

This high-speed Super Mario playing is unbelievable.
I think it’s real though, I hope it’s real.
The new Splinter Cell game, a breath of fresh Airwaves?
August 15th, 2009 by Martin
Splinter Cell Conviction looks like it will be pretty decent,

Yojimbo
August 5th, 2009 by Martin
Yojimbo is without a doubt one of my favourite films (and I really
need to get watching a lot more of the Akira Kurosawa / Toshiro Mifune
collaborations). It was unofficially remade as the western,
A Fistful of Dollars, and it’s often said that Clint Eastwood was
heavily influenced by Mifune’s acting.

This blog is turning into a bit of a Japan-fest, but there is just
so much awesome stuff over there. Gundam is an anime that first
started in 1979 and has continued since in various different forms.
The giant Gundam moves, makes noises and blows out steam!

Newspaper Blackout Poems – Austin Kleon
August 4th, 2009 by Martin
Liking these Newspaper Blackout Poems by Austin Kleon,
tempted to have a wee go at it. Also, maybe this would be a swanky
way to write ransom notes, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Cybraphon – Robotic band at Edinburgh Art Festival 09
August 1st, 2009 by Martin
Three Edinburgh-based creatives have constructed Cybraphon,
a self-absorbed robotic band. The music it plays is altered by
its mood, which changes depending on the amount of attention
it receives via Facebook and Myspace. It’ll be on show at
Inspace as part of the Edinburgh Art Festival 2009.
