Update continued…
I’m still updating the site which has taken longer then anticipated due to work pressures. At the moment all the old blog entries have been imported, all the old pages have been uploaded at their old urls and I will link those worth preserving into the new site when I get a chance.
Joyce Walks has moved to www.joycewalks.com and is once again up and running.
Stunned Update
We’re moving the stunned servers and switching to a new wordpress setup so please bear with us while we get it all working.
The Bijlmer Euro
The Bijlmer Euro is project by Christian Nold & Imagine IC with the Waag Society taking the form of a complimentary local currency for South East of Amsterdam which creates economic benefits for local people, inspires social connections and builds a complex network identity for the Bijlmer. The Bijlmer Euro will launch on the 8th July 2010 with 17 participating Bijlmer shops and 2000 special Bijlmer Euro ‘bank notes’. All the participating shops will offer unique discounts when you use a Bijlmer Euro. Each Bijlmer Euro note is tagged with a unique chip which will allow people to follow all money moving from shop to shop.

Crash!
Crash! is an interesting 1971 film by Harley Cokliss with J. G. Ballard which predates Ballard’s 1973 novel giving an insight into the thought process behind it.

Pacific Star II : Colin Rich
Pacific Star II from Colin Rich on Vimeo.
An amazing project involving sending two hacked cameras reprogrammed to shoot 3 photos every 3 minutes, and shoot a minute of video every fourth minute up in a home made weather balloon when the balloon burst the cameras fell back to earth with a parachute and were retrieved through GPS tracking.

Bloomsday QR tagging
Keep an eye out for Bloomsday themed QR tagging of Dublin for Bloomsday tomorrow. You’ll need a QR tag reader to read them,
I recommend the i-nigma reader www.i-nigma.mobi which is available for most phones a lot of other semacode and QR tag readers don’t work very well.

Mark Linkous RIP
Sad news of the loss of Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse at 47. Since I first saw him live way back in 1996 at VK’s in Molenbeek in Brussels playing support for Mazzy Star his music has been a constant in my life. A rare talent, a great performer and a nice guy he’ll be missed by those of us he touched with his music.
