Crazy/Nerdy Computer Art Installations
Gernot Ziegler writes "After having read a report on the fusion of Art and Technology, I somehow ended up on Perry Hoberman's page. I don't know this guy, but I've always been fascinated by techno art, and these ones are clearly intriguing.
There is the Workaholic, a pendulum with a bar code scanner over a carpet with bar codes and an attached projector that overlays images on the carpet, or the ZOMBIAC (Zone Of Monitor-Based Inter-Amnesiac Contact) that lures the visitors into thinking that the machines react to them directly. You might also want to have a look at this weird auction (that's where I got this link from) ! :)"

Cool
I hate all of it if this keeps up I am not going to read this site anymore!

What kind of nerd would use Adobe GoLive to create a web page?

gasp how am i supposed to breathe with all these fat waggly cocks in my face??!?!?!
The ZOMBIAC is nowhere near as cool as zombo.com!
Anything is possible at zombo.com!
The only limit is yourself!
Actually, it's quite a good idea! For use in X I mean, when Linux becomes mainstream. (About 2 months after Duke Nukem Forever is released) But think of the possibilities! Some script kiddie is trying to sound cool in his favorite cracks/scripts channel on DALnet, using excessive leet speak when all of the sudden, a dialog box like that pops up, disconnects IRC, sets a 24 hour sleep() call in init (to be removed after booting once) and reboots! Such simple joys!
Hate me!
Because nerds RARELY get some.
but you won't be getting anything like this anytime soon. Turn off your computers! Go outside! run free. you know you salivate when you think of WARM, WET, PUSSY

You know the drill all to well by this point in time. It's time for the self-deprecating yet ego stroking babble-about-myself page. It's required by net.law. If I violate this sacred net tradition, my cheesy vanity domain name will be taken from me and given to starving school children. My servers will be taken and given to the needy. And I'll be tied to a chair and forced to write HTML for companies that manufacture cardboard boxes, or code CGI apps for warehouses that ship boxes. Either way, its boxes, and thats no good.
Where are you? I'm in Holland Michigan. Look at your right palm. I'm about half way between the base of your pinky and your wrist. Plus or minus a few veins. Holland is the home of the Tulip Festival- the 3rd largest festival in the United States (following the Festival of Roses and Mardi Gras). Personally I'd rather be in Pasadena or New Orleans, but this is where I am, and this is where I'm gonna stay until I go crazy and move.
Currently I hang my hat in my fabulous house north of town. Its a nice place on a couple of acres of trees where I can hide in between conferences and meetings.
Didja Go to School? I wish I didn't, but truth be known, I attended many years of formal education, starting from Rose Park Christian Nursry School, Rose Park Elementary, Holland Christian Middle School, and eventually graduation from Holland Christian High School in 1994. I followed up this career by attending Holland's other major Christian Institution: Hope College. After 4.5 years (the extra semester for was for luck!) I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science and a Minor in Studio Art. During this time I got poor grades while spending every waking moment that wasn't devoted to education teaching myself anything about computers I could get my brain around. My favorite parts of school was ceramics, drawing, and graphics classes where I was forced to learn enough math to understand Splines and raytracing.
Have you ever had a Job? My first job was at a grocery store. I spent several years bagging food, carrying them to cars, and putting boxes on shelves. This prepared me perfectly for my later career in the realm of computers (cough cough). My first real tech job was at Donnelly where I spent 2 more years fixing computers. Here is where I learned the difference between 115 and 220 current, as well as why Windows is the worst operating system on the planet. Following my time at Donnelly I worked at The Image Group where I performed various tasks ranging from HTML guy and pseudo Sysadmin to CGI Hack. I worked on sites including First Michigan Bank and Woodland Realty before I eventually served out my sentance and started my own company with a few friends.
For much of my college career I ran a little web site known as Slashdot. From megaer beginings it grew to be quite a popular net destination. We've won lots of awards and we serve up a million+ pages each day. My time is now fully consumed with running this beast. In June of 99 it was acquired by Andover.Net. and I was employed to maintain charge of the site. The food chain continued as Andover was in turn swallowed by VA Linux Systems. We are now a business group collectively known as OSDN, but what I do hasn't really changed from the days when I ran Slashdot out of my bedroom.
I'm also on the board of BlockStackers, a company created by me and friends. This company was the corporate structure that held Slashdot for a year, and continues to be the home of Everything2- our wacky, distributedly maintained web database, Perl Monks, a perl hacker site, and AdFu, our banner ad server. Now if we make money or not, that remains to be seen, but at least its fun. I've also been known to spend much time working with Kurt the Pope on a project known as AnimeFu, a (surprise) Anime film site also based on the E2 engine mentioned earlier.
So what do you like?
