OSCILLATE

from Daniel Sierra on Vimeo.

For his MFA Computer Art Thesis at School of Visual Arts in NYC, Daniel Sierra explored and visualized “waveform patterns that evolve from the fundamental sine wave to more complex patterns, creating a mesmerizing audio-visual experience in which sight and sound work in unison to capture the viewer’s attention.” It sure worked on us. Watch the video after the jump…

The animation was done purely in Houdini.

I’m probably gonna regret saying this but Unpopular Opinion time:
She kind of had every right to be angry in this situation. I know we’re supposed to like feel sorry for Sheldon and want him and Jenny to get together and stuff over the course of the series, but my issue with that is Sheldon is a canon example of Nice Guy Syndrome and trying to play it straight faced.

He falls instantly in love with her the second he sees her without knowing her personality, becoming obsessed with her simply because she’s basically a living personification of his fetish. He then proceeds to stalk her, invade her privacy and personal space ((he’s grabbed her and she had to invoke her robotic strength to make him let go because asking him nicely did nothing)), won’t leave her alone when she asks, and in his attempts to get with her blatantly lies to her, manipulates her, and belittles her personal preference for guys/accuses everyone else she possibly likes as being a jackass and she should be with him instead because she will never find anyone better and be lonely the rest of her life otherwise. I’m not even exaggerating, he says this outright in the episode “Shell Game”. In fact, if you recall, only reason he made his Silver Shell alter-ego was to deliberately treat Jenny like garbage so she’d be heartbroken/be turned off of dating another robot and come crying to him. That’s not love, that’s horrible and emotionally abusive.

Almost all his attempts to woo Jenny involve lying to/manipulating her or others ((ie paying another girl money to pretend to date him so that Jenny would become jealous and want him)) but since he’s an awkward, quirky geek we’re supposed to overlook that and root for him. I don’t like it, and it’s always made me uncomfortable how the writing is apparently trying to make us think the way he behaves is sweet and genuine. It’s not.

Don’t get me wrong, I love this show, and I like Sheldon as a character other than this aspect of him. If you ship it, fine, but it’s always something about how it’s presented in canon that’s bothered me, personally, a lot.

weirdly enough I always ship jenny as asexual. (but romantic)

So I picked up a wolf spider in our garage, I found it via the fact that mom screeched like someone had set her on fire-and scooped this little lady up before any harm could befall her. It was raining pretty hard so I was lazy and didn’t feel like putting her outside, so I put her in this mealworm tub with some nice loamy peat moss. I checked this morning and freaked out-where was she! the tub was sealed…she couldn’t have gotten out…then I poked around and found a soft cocoon of woven dirt and silk-with the still-sleeping spider in it! (do spiders sleep? I guess so!) I pulled it apart gently so I could take a picture, and apparently didn’t wake her. After that I left her be for a while. The first picture is a bit later, when she’d woken up. I gave her a mealworm (I squished it a bit so it couldn’t hurt her) and she’s happily munching it now. 

Once she’s finished eating I’m going to let her go outside in the back yard.

Remember when everyone was giving more than two shits about that internet petition to tell the obama administration WE DON’T WANT CISPA? Lot of good that did, and by “lot” I mean none. CISPA recently, and shamelessly, passed in the house and is now moving to the senate for debate. You guys need to contact your local congressman and tell them that you do not want CISPA to pass! That is the only viable way to have an impact on whether this passes or not.

Want to hear somthing that will make you angrier? Congressman McCaul is just one of many using the tragic Boston bombing as an excuse to pass CISPA, similarly to how USA PATRIOT ACT got passed because of the 9/11 bombings and that is not okay. He claims that had a bill like that had been in place to begin with, the bombing might have been avoidable.

“Recent events in Boston demonstrate that we have to come together as Republicans and Democrats” in order to pass a bill that will strengthen national security, McCaul (R-Texas) said Thursday morning

Words cannot describe how angry this makes me. The worst part is I don’t know what makes me angrier. The fact our representatives went againt our clearly voiced opinions on the matter and passed CISPA in the house, or the fact the congressmen are using the Boston Bombings to gain leeway to get it passed as law entirely.

Spread the word about CISPA, what congressmen are doing to trying to get it passed, how it is on the threshold of becoming law, and get angry about it.

Reblog for internet freedom and awareness of congress abuse of tragedies to pass an unlawful bill! Let them no you’re not okay with this bill, and even more so how they’re using the Boston Bombings as an excuse to get it passed!

hnng AGAIN?
