The Death Star in Motion (1977)




James explains the origins of the famous Death Star briefing room sequence:


The wizard behind the early Star Wars CG was Larry Cuba, who worked out of the Electronic Visualization Lab (EVL) at the University of Illinois. Legend has it that he was pushing the hardware so hard to create the simple wireframe images that he constantly had to adjust the air conditioning in the computer room to avoid system crashes. Cuba used a vector graphics scripting language called GRASS (GRAphics Symbiosis System), written by Tom DeFanti at Ohio State in 1974. The system he used incorporated a Vector General CRT, DEC PDP-11 minicomputer, along with various cameras and recorders.

Squatting, why not? / Kraken, waarom niet?


Found a documentary about squatting in the Netherlands capital, Amsterdam. Which shows that most squatters are quite civilized and organized; contrary to mainstream Dutch media portraits.


Dutch lower court has ruled that squatting be made criminal and in the coming days (apparently the 1st of Dec. 2009), the Dutch supreme court will rule on the motion. Hopefully overruling the law.


Squatting continues! / Kraken gaat door!

Autonon - Homesick


It's not very often that I come across a free internet release that has this much variation and upright quality. Breakcore, chiptunes and dubstep all homegrown in the Netherlands! Autonon's Homesick album has been playing more than a couple of times now and I still love it.

Thank you!
