Blog
Although there seems to be little in the way of 'content' in the lab at the moment, I do have a list of ideas that are eagerly bursting their way out of me, somewhat like a re-enactment of John Hurt's fine performance in Alien. But with less death.

Here's a shortlist of some of the meaningless drivel I've scribbled on any scrap of available paper in the last few weeks:
 * Interactive pigeon shite + clucking noise (thanks, MTV2, you've ruined me).
 * Interactive kaleidoscope.
 * Ink blot/fountain pen ink spreader, furry edges (thanks 3).
 * Sound waveform using a mic in 3D from streaming MP3s, oscillating oscilloscope.
 * Driving home, sitting in the backseat of your parent's car at night, watching the orange glow from sodium lamps reflecting off the rain on the rear windscreen nostalgia trip.
 * Sliding flat, 2D colourful shapes, interactive liver pieces.
 * 3D isometric grid, with mouse-pull-up to form mountain ranges (thanks, SimCity 2000).
 * 3D ocean mesh, like a sea.
 * Underwater, looking up at dappled sunlight from the waves.
 * Slo-mo glass smashing.
 * A huge eyeball, light contracts interactive iris etc.
 * Cracking ice/window and sound effects.

If you're kind enough to donate either more ideas, or blu tac, both of which I am in short supply, then please send them my way and I'll squeeze them into the corner of that bit of a soggy envelope stuck to my wall. Thanks peeps.

Trivia

 * 1) The eyeballs ideas seems to be later made by Artur Vill.
 * 2) The blog utterly use the word "sh*t".
