LHC Rap
I’m currently reading Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos by Michio Kaku. Though credited with making theoretical physics accessible, its clearly a relative concept because I don’t understand even the half of it. Thankfully some crazy cats at the LHC do, and what better way to connect with the disenfranchised youf than to rap about it? This is so geeky its beyond awesome :)

28.07.2008 by Zoltan We’re back
Seems like some little fuck hacked the blog. Don’t really know how or why but the little prick/s lost me more than a few hours of my life. I will never get these back, so thanks for nothing you fucking bastards. I hope you got your rocks off.
For those interested, the wordpress support forums were great as was (mt) support. I am also now a big fan of the exploit scanner plugin. If you run wordpress, you should get it.

Not sure what’s happened with our hosting service? We’re trying to get the site back up as quickly as possible. Please bear with us.

Well, not really ’see’ the future so much as read about it, courtesy of IBM’s labs. The Next 5 in 5 is a quick 5-minuter about the 5 biggest changes over the next 5 years, like your food getting its own passport (no lie)!

OK, it might be unintentional, but sometimes computers can be more beautiful than we give them credit for. Travel plans to Hell, anyone?

23.05.2008 by Zoltan Back on the air…
You may have noticed that this little corner of the blogosphere has been pretty quiet of late. This is mainly because I’ve been in the process of moving to Amsterdam. And i’ve been on holidays. And there’s that little thing called work which always seems to get in the way of blogging.
Anyway I’ve got a massive backlog of incredible work I’ve seen and over the next few weeks I’m hoping to get up to speed. Thanks again for your patience.
Oh, and if anyone out there lives in Amsterdam, I’m looking for drinking mates ;)

22.01.2008 by Zoltan Russian Bytes
This is sooooo geeky yet somehow still very appealing. Maybe its the sheer simplicity of it? Or perhaps that elegant serif? Or the fact that Steve Jobs needs a lesson in what to preceed the word ‘byte’ with these days. Either way Art Lebedev (yes, they of the Optimus Maximus fame) have got it covered with these Russian dolls. Perfect gift for your mother I say…

17.01.2008 by Zoltan People in order
“People in order: 1 - 100″ is a simple idea and an anthropologists wet dream. I love the difference in outlook on life that can be inferred from the way they touch/play/hit/belt the drum.

11.01.2008 by Zoltan Sleeveface
Sleeveface is a very simple idea, with zero barriers to entry (apart from needing some good vinyl). No wonder there’s a Facebook group with 2,690 members, and surely its going to explode further very soon…

09.01.2008 by Zoltan Call for contributors
2008 is going to be a big year for many things, and if I have my way, Boredom Is Your Fault is going to be one of those things. But I need your help!
BIYF is a labour of love, born out of my curiosity of all things creative / digital and my ever widening appreciation for the art of advertising. But with the increasing pace of everything, this is certainly a task that is too big for one lone mind. So I ask you, readers, to help me. I’m looking for people that are willing to help me write BIYF. It can be about anything creative at all - there are no boundaries.
If you see something cool, then write about it here! If you’re interested, email contribute [at] boredomisyourfault [dot] com. C’mon, you know you want to ;)

Just a quick note to say Merry Xmas and all the best for 2008. If you get a chance, check out DoubleYou’s 2007 xmas card, posted in the comments here. Otherwise, enjoy the holidays and see you all in the second week of January :)

17.12.2007 by Zoltan Pollock was a neuroscientist
The boundaries between art and science became quite a bit more blurry today with the release of the image above. Its a CGI representation of the 10,000 neurons and 30 million connections that make up a single neocortical column (the really complex backbone of any brain) of a rat.
You can read more here, but the really interesting part is how much it resembles Pollock’s series of über-famous action paintings, like the “Blue Poles” example shown just below. These paintings were (supposedly) based on jam dripping down the wall, and if that turns out to be the same pattern as the make up of the most complex super-computer ever, then what exactly does that say about us vs. all the aliens out there in their fancy time-travelling spacecraft?

07.12.2007 by Zoltan Only in Italy: Part 2
Yet again, it seems the Italians just love to go one step too far. I’m not sure why anyone would want a coffin calendar in the first place, but I guess if you’re dead set (sorry, couldn’t help myself) on making one, and you’re Italian, then drape it in women… Unfortunately the Pirelli girls were busy the day of the shoot.
I’m still not convinced that a calendar is the best form of marketing for a coffin maker, unless of course the concept is that old people have nothing better to do than site around and count off the days??? Then again, if you’re making a coffin calendar, I don’t think a good concept is top of mind…
