A Night at The Emirates

One Year in 90 seconds

How to make this out?

The way is actually quite simple. Eirik found a spot on his balcony where he could place the camera in the exact same spot each time. Then he recorded video clips at irregular intervals. More or less once a week all thorugh 2009. More often during spring and autumn and not that often during summer and winter. All the videos are then put together using lots of dissolves. Here's a video link to explain the process.

The video was created by Eirik Solheim (@eirikso) | Camera: Canon 5D Mark II

Google's New Programming Language: GO

Google has just announced the release of a new, open sourced programming language called Go. Google promote it as: … simple … fast … safe … fun … open source

Go attempts to combine the development speed of working in a dynamic language like Python with the performance and safety of a compiled language like C or C++. In our experiments with Go to date, typical builds feel instantaneous; even large binaries compile in just a few seconds. And the compiled code runs close to the speed of C. Go is designed to let you move fast.

We’re hoping Go turns out to be a great language for systems programming with support for multi-processing and a fresh and lightweight take on object-oriented design, with some cool features like true closures and reflection.

Here is an example code:

package main
import "fmt"

func main() {
  fmt.Printf("Hello, 世界\n")
}

Crazy Video Games

Directed and animated by MUSCLEBEAVER.
"This animation we did was planned and animated for the prologue of a documentary.
(That explains the absurd, unfinished seeming, ending.That is where the actual documentary starts.... )
The briefing was to show an evolution of computer games.
The documentary itself is about different people, based here in germany, showing their everyday life, and their addiction to the same specific, famous MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game):"Wo.."
Every game character in this prologue was reinterpreted, redrawn (...one pixel at a time), and animated frame by frame."

Really awesome, you should watch it.
