Spooky Collins

Is, I think, a pretty good name for a band. But it's also what's hanging over my head at work now, courtesy of the nimble electronic skills of the man who sits opposite.

Biomimetic Butterflies

via barbariangroup.com

"Our goal was to create mechanical creatures which would respond to observers by flapping their wings. Their motion is achieved using a combination of stepper motors, rare earth magnets, some custom circuitry and a Mac Mini driving the whole thing using input from a video camera. The Butterflies’ wings are created using designs which were laser cut into paper."

I love the fact that they move too. wish they'd done made a video of them

White Noise by Don Delillo

via iampeter.co.uk

White noise is a book about death, or more importantly, a book about fear of dying. It permeates the life of Jack Gladney, his wife Babette and their four children of differing parentage. Jack is head of Hitler studies in a Midwestern college known only as The College On The Hill. He spends his time knocking around with his peculiar colleagues, shopping with his wife at supermarket and placing his kids on flights to far-flung parents – some spies, some hippies.
People talk in a stylised disjointed way. Children have vocabularies far beyond their years and clear thoughts come to everyone, albeit marshalled and reduced by the constant thrum of television. It doesn’t sound a great life, but there’s some amazing writing. I particularly liked when the whole family go to a drive-in and eat in their car, so desperate to feed they don’t want to engage in conversation or even face each other round a table.
Then, an ‘airborne toxic event’ rolls over their town and Jack discovers his wife is on a medication that purports to cure the patient of a fear of death.
Not an easy book to read, this is worth the occasional re-read of a chapter or two. Apparently, DeLillo writes each paragraph on a separate piece of paper and then tinkers with it to get the rhythm just right.
