Freakiest Video Ever

July 5th, 2005

Rubber Johnny

Vard the psychopath DJ sent me this today. One of the most freaky things I’ve ever seen.

The video begins with a doctor reassuring a visibly disturbed baby named Johnny, who seems to be asking for his mommy. When he gets violent, the doctor is forced to inject him with a calming sedative. The film then flips to the familiar Drukqs introduction and then proceeds to go crazy with Johnny dancing in his wheelchair, doing wheelies and tricks for the amusement of his dog, and transforming into a variety of nightmarish shapes, like a someone tipping a wheelbarrow full of butcher’s shop scrapings, entrails and brains onto a window.

The film is stunning, harrowing and disturbing in equal measure. The visuals match the frantic pace of the music and the experience is quite exhausting, leaving you breathless by the end.

See the movie for yourself here..

PodCast Awards?

PodCast Awards

Yup, I’m not kidding. They even have different categories. I think it’s great. PodCasts or something similar to PodCasting is the future of news or talk radio and it’s about time someone recognize these talented individuals.

Orb - Free Way To Share Media

June 20th, 2005

ORB

I came across a very cool app today called Orb from a company called Orb Networks. After you register on their website and install the small download it enables you to send media over the Internet from your PC to any connected computer for free. It basically turns your Windows computer into a restricted Internet media server. You can use another PC or certain PDAs and smart phones to access your music, photos, videos, or television signal, if your host PC has a TV tuner. All the receiving device needs is broadband Internet access, a browser, and a media player. You apparently can also schedule TV recordings remotely via a browser too. I wonder if we could program this to download podcasts and have that stream it to our phones…
