but few months ago I actually bought Osmos (10$) because I was curious…and finally during this holydays i had time to play with it…and i really enjoyed it (even if i wasn’t depressed).
i think it is wicked, and more than anything else the idea behind it is really clever.
the soundtrack of the game is a beautiful (but a bit too classic sometime) ambient album including Biosphere and Gas between the others,
every level has different tracks
Osmos by Hemisphere Games got very good reviews all around and won few prizes…and i reckon are all well deserved…

i wish to work on a similar project in the future

Tank-fx

“Tank-FX is a non-virtual effect device. The reverb is generated by
a huge [11m] tank made of ferroconcrete. We put some mics and
speakers in it and connected them to a unix box, so everybody can
use it now from the internet. To try it out, just upload some
audio material. It will be processed in real-time”

I am not on facebook either.
some friends said…don’t shoot on your own foot…true…sometime I do….
I started to hate all this networking web stuff….and the ideology that is behind of it….
to create a copy-paste humanity.
this is a very interesting (long) article that gives actually good reasons to my feelings.

facebook…with friends like this…(from The Guardian)

“So by his own admission, Thiel is trying to destroy the real world, which he also calls “nature”, and install a virtual world in its place, and it is in this context that we must view the rise of Facebook. Facebook is a deliberate experiment in global manipulation, and Thiel is a bright young thing in the neoconservative pantheon, with a penchant for far-out techno-utopian fantasies. Not someone I want to help get any richer.” Tom Hodgkinson on The Guardian
