GPS Mapping

Some etchings I have been working on... testing out how to do it.

Current approach:

1.) Using custom built Java script Export GPS path data as 3d DXF.

2.) Take DXF into AutoCad. Set lineweights to etch.

3.) Plot on Acrylic with 50W laser cutter.

4.) Rub acrylic paint onto etched sheet.

5.) Mount multiple mappings in wooden frame, overlayed to show similar patterns.

6.) Remove blue-plastic scratch covering.

Had alot of difficulty with dado's on frame, and also scratchs on acrylic. Generally happy with result (which will be displayed at Open Eyes Toronto 2012 on August 9th).

Spring Proposal

Once a Year, during Summer Solstice day, the entire neighbourhood gathers in a park. Everyone gets a handful of wild flowers and branches, and they go on a parade, convivially laying a branch and a wildflower upon the doorstep of every home as a sign of goodwill to all.  


Returning to the park after the sacralization of the neighbourhood, there is a night time Park Party (ACDC, Jay-Z, Biebs, and Cher are the headliners this year, and we have a liquor liscense this time!!!1)

"Everybody was asking, 'What's going on, why is Knut not moving?"' said Camilla Verde, a 30-year-old Italian who lives in Berlin.

"All the zoo keepers who put up the fences were so very sad. One of them said, 'He was our baby,"' she said.

"...Police were called in on Thursday to control a large crowd of girls who had gathered outside the Hard Days Night hotel where Bieber was staying."

"They were forced to close a central city street to traffic, and were at the scene for around six hours before the fans eventually left."

Michelle Obama on H&M

"... on NBC’s Today Show outfitted in a $34.95 dress from... H&M! Never shying away from bold colors, Mrs. Obama gave her navy-and-white print a personal touch by adding an orange obi-style belt and pairing it with bright yellow pumps. "

Obama Inauguration

May I interject?


"Facebook averaged 4,000 status updates per minute during the [Inauguration] broadcast" while "CNN had generated more than 136 million pageviews"


... sorry, you were telling me something about the non-story and post-modernism - bemoaning the lack of narrative, etc... go on...

Bogart  - verb
1. To keep something all for oneself, thus depriving anyone else of having any. A slang term derived from the last name of famous actor Humphrey Bogart because he often kept a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, seemingly never actually drawing on it or smoking it. Often used with weed or joints but can be applied to anything. i.e "Don't bogart that blunt man, pass that over here!"


This definition was supported by over 4161 people.
