The Wire
Posted: November 25th, 2008 | Author: admin | Filed under: Cool | No Comments »
Now that we have just finished the fourth series, it seems as good a time as any to add to the millions of ecstatic reviews on the web. Never in my life have I watched anything so amazingly gripping, so poignant and so heartbreaking. The Wire is a true master class in writing, storytelling, acting and social commentary. Every single episode weaves a whole spectrum of emotions into it, allowing the stories to unfold at such a natural pace and with characters who are beautifully developed so that you care about just the plight of just about everyone. It’s astonishing.

It’s been around for ages but I really love this site. Basically it summarises critical reviews of anything from albums, videos and films to books and TV. I love it. like all the best web apps, it is an aggregator, giving you a quick snapshot of what people are saying. Best of all, the way it is laid out means you can get a good overview in seconds.
They say on the site ‘We feel strongly that multiple opinions are better than one, and also that the presentation of these critical opinions must be done in a concise, organized and easy-to-understand manner in order for them to be useful. We also encourage our users to dig deeper on matters that interest them by providing links to full reviews whenever possible. Finally, we believe firmly in providing a pleasant, popup-free user experience for our visitors. Job done I reckon.

Posted: November 5th, 2008 | Author: admin | Filed under: Cool | No Comments »This is very cool game demo by a games developer called Ian Dallas. The Unfinished Swan puts the player in a completely white (or at times, black) world where you can only find your way around by splashing paint on your surroundings. Beautifully engaging.

Posted: September 23rd, 2008 | Author: admin | Filed under: Art, Cool | No Comments »Is an American photographer who has shot a series of really interesting new images – Running the Numbers looks at contemporary American culture through the lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) etc.
He says “This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. Employing themes such as the near versus the far, and the one versus the many, I hope to raise some questions about the role of the individual in a society that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, and overwhelming.
