Number of the Beast Compressed 666 Times
Cory Arcangel took the mp3 version of Iron’s Maiden’s The Number of the Beast and compressed it 666 times.
If you have ever wondered what Iron Maiden’s “The Number of the Beast” would sound like compressed over and over as an mp3 666 times…here’s your chance..and if u r wondering, YES it does lose quality each time it is compressed.
Personally, I couldn’t get all the way through it.

When asked by host Huw Wheldon what he wanted to do after schooling, Page says, “I want to do biological research [to find a cure for] cancer, if it isn’t discovered by then”.
Instead he went on to form one of the world’s greatest rock bands, Led Zeppelin.

This made me laugh. It’s an animation about Dock Ellis’ “legendary LSD no hitter”.

Workout Triptych
A short film I created for my video sketchbook class, Workout Triptych:
I finished the homemade jib I started working on last Saturday this afternoon. Here it is:
Here is some of the first footage.
I realize I need to work on the steadiness of my hand, but so far I’m quite happy with how easy it was to get a more professional looking shot. The whole contraption cost me about $45 CAN and a few hours of work — not bad!
I used the plans I found here.
My friend Shannon Phillips is a freelance writer and journalist. When she asked me to take some photos for her new story, I jumped at the chance. I’m happy to say, the editors at Alberta Views used two of my images for the October edition article.

Third Annual Zombie Walk
Lethbridge is having its 3rd Annual Zombie Walk tomorrow at Galt Gardens at ~6pm.
We’ll meet up at Galt Gardens, like we’ve done before,
at 5:30, once gathered we’ll wait until 6 or shortly after 6 for all you stragglers!Let me reiterate what’s been posted on the wall, you can be any age to participate in the walk and we encourage you under 18 zombie freaks to come out!. It’s only the concert at the Slice afterwards that’s 18+.
The Brains are once again gonna be providing us with entertainment afterwards at the Slice. There is no better band for the occasion! There will be a cover charge of $10 which is more than reasonable for The Brains alone. but we’re lucky zombies this year because we even get our very own Phantom Creeps this year!
Let’s make this one HUGE, tell your friends, tell them to tell their friends.. The Undead will once again wander the streets!
Update: CityTV called me a couple of years ago and I pointed them in the direction of the Zombie Walk. They covered it this year.
