No more FTP Blogger - I'll be off then..
Woe, Blogger, woe. Very disappointed to see that you have decided to discontinue the FTP, static publishing option that I have used for, 11, yes 11 years. I've been there from the start. I even gave you money for 'Pro' before Google bought you. I got a hoodie as a thank you.
I did wonder since the development of Blogger seemed to be happening at the speed of continental drift, and had at best a ghost staff who dropped by occasionally to mimic badly some Wordpress features.
I didn't want a dynamic, database driven blog. There has been no need for dynamism in my peculiar corner of the web. However, I suppose it's off to Blogger's sexier cousin Wordpress for me. If anyone reading this can recommend a nice archive migration tool, please post in the comments.
Still, I am sad to go...

Take that, Honda Cog
Those OK Go boys have done it again. After the viral success of the "treadmill routine" video for Here it goes again comes a playful Mousetrap / Honda Cog inspired piece. Great tune too.
Update: This is in fact a Rube Goldberg machine; a complex machine that performs a simple task, named after the American cartoonist.

Tiger Tiger
Great bit of mobile, digital art from artist Karolina Sobecka - a projected Tiger whose animation is linked to the acceleration of a car. As the car speeds up the image of a tiger begins to run and as the car slows, so too does the tiger.

Also, more mammalian action as artist Nikhil Kirsh (twitter) recently painted my house rabbit Ben. It's not the first time I have cajoled artists to represent him, but this time in acrylic on canvas.

VW Beetle Snowplough ad
Ah, all this UK snow reminded me of the 1963 VW ad. A great example of a simple story, beautifully executed in sixty seconds.
