Kitsch

March 31, 2024
We used to have this picture here called "aÄŸlayan çocuk" - "the crying child" - that was very popular among truck drivers and long distance bus drivers. A sepia toned portrait of a small sad boy with huge ey…

It is you that makes the picture!

January 05, 2024
And not some artificial stupdity! Well, let me give credit where credit is due: What this is, is an immensely capable image search engine that has been combined with an image processing platform that is a master at recognizin…

Wixtrix - my pride and joy!

April 23, 2023
https://www.wixtrix.net I have been working on this on and off for a year, and now it is finally complete. Or almost complete since I keep finding typos and errors, especially in the Turkish version everytime I look. So, this is …

One whole year later

May 28, 2022
Or even almost 13 months, if I am to be more exact. I did not even think about this blog for all this time. Which is funny because I have been noodling around with the very idea of blogs, not what is written in them but their app…

FutureScape? BlahScape more like...

May 01, 2021
This thing - it is so ugly, so badly designed, so without any awareness of visual impact or drama or creativity that I do not even want to show pictures of it because they will sully the overall appearance of my blog. And I do pa…

Very odd indeed...

May 13, 2020
Surely I am not the only one who sees something askew with this, am I? This has actually been on my mind for quite a while now but I wanted to wait for the numbers to become more apparent before I visualized them. I think we hav…

Datavis shenanigans

April 06, 2020
I have been wanting to do this for days. It is my profession, after all. Or rather, it is a very important part of my profession - data visualization. And I haven't pored over my Edward Tufte and my Chaomei Chen for nothing …

Back to the fancy stuff

September 01, 2019
So, I have spent most of last month playing around with casual wear for avatars. Which is all very well and good up to a certain point, but after a while boredom does set in. I usually wait to stumble upon something to give me a…

Dress-up Games

August 07, 2019
I have been in SL more of late. Finally managed to make the transition to the mesh body and the mesh head for Alpha. Wasn't easy to do, I still miss the scurrilous little face that the classic avi used to have and that, for …

The big alpha.tribe update

April 16, 2019
I did not want to switch over to a mesh avatar for a very long time. I have had the Alpha shape and skin for years and I have really identified with Alpha, in that appearance. She looks like me. Or rather she looked like I looke…

And very well behaved they are...

February 24, 2019
Yesterday I finally got over all my inhibitions and went into 3D software, after remembering that Cica Ghost had once told me that she was using Sculptris . And after muddling around for quite a while, watching a lot of tutorials…

Produsage

February 03, 2019
There is this, in my view terribly misplaced, myth that while using off the shelf software is an unavoidable evil, everything that gets built inside that software should be made by you. Painstakingly. Path by path. Or writing th…

Indulging my graphic designer's heart

January 25, 2019
Sitting at home, not going out much - if at all - I am busy making visual identities. First I did the companion species thing, which is actually 4 identities rolled into one. I had a blast doing that one. That project was so abs…
