Map of Metal

This looks like it could be the world map off Brütal Legend. This gives a heavy clue of what to expect right from the start. What we’ve got here is a very interesting example of cultural representation, this time on the history of heavy metal and all the different music genres it spawned, complete with music playlists you can just leave playing and go on doing your thing. It’s an excellent, excellent job. Very cool.

Also, allow me to do the map dance. I do it whenever I see unique, strange, accurate or just plain well-made maps! What might the map dance look like, you ask?

Google Blacklist – Words That Google Instant Doesn’t Like

Have you noticed that when you type something in on Google, suggestions come out? It’s pretty fun typing in “how do I”, “is it normal/bad/weird”, “can I” etc, etc, in Greek as well!

If you type in certain words, though, nothing will come out… *spooky sound fx*

What are these words, you ask? Click here and find out… And then we’ll talk about whether or not web censorship is swiftly becoming a reality or not.

Abandoning the System: Addendum

Not really an addendum, since I haven’t written any of this myself, just some links to very interesting texts about Facebook and what it is all about. They come as a nice addition to the original post and the discussion that it sparked.

Random music for a random application for a random project.

Sunday, stress, having to work for so many projects yet lazying around for hours… I was looking for an application today that can be used to create drawings out of text. I have a project I will not divulge full details on here — yet — in which I have to do just that. One way to go about doing it is manually, which will probably also produce the best result, even though I’m not very good at drawing at all…

Anyway, looking around for this kind of application, I came across this site.

What beautiful music, what great flash art, great typography, everything! I’ve been listening to this track for hours but I have no idea what it is and where I can find more of it.

This is just some random music for a random application for a random project.
And I love it.
