I have been watching Edulndart for several years now. He is highly creative and very methodical in his work. His conversations have been a pleasure because he struggles with the dangers a creative minds faces. Have a look at his poetry too.
Answers seek refuge away from the light. Unison emerges from the default.
Spekk is a small label whose artists create lovely minimalist electronic music. If you enjoy this sort of music, download some of the samples and be sure to view the “Small Melodies” album.
Project 8 is a fascinating showcase of the new technologies in macromedia flash 8. I especially love the soundscape.
On a day when our efforts tax us we feel as if entangled in a spider’s web. We had stepped too close - only wanting to peer into the weaver’s eyes. The spider symbolizes an intangible desire - the cusp of our patience and its exhaustion.
For some time I wanted to develop a new […]
I finally decided to relaunch even though I understand that the site is not yet ready. Alazanto is not a day job, nor do I want it to be. I will be tinkering in the coming months - notably bringning the site up to the XHTML 1.1 spec and providing better accessibility.
Please keep […]
Rootkits? What is next…the right to read?
Read a paper by Brenda Mergel breaking down the different models of instructional design. Many of the same theories are discussed in cognitive anthropology and lingusitic philosophy. The fundamental question is whether learning is a science rather than an artform.
View the download page for Community Server 2.0 Beta 1. If you work in a windows-centric environment this application is an exciting foundation for building a community site. AJAX abounds. This is no wordpress substitute, however, as it is designed for organizations rather than individuals.
Zorro meets…an angel? Very romantic, I love it. Interestingly, many of the members of DeviantArt haven’t formal training at an art school. The community as a whole is an important study in the ability for online communities to become rich learning environments.
As an attempt to carry forward a brand for Alazanto, I turned the following study into a downloadable poster. More to come in the near future.

Download Roundcube and put a smile on your face. After using this application I see little need to keep a windows-native mail client.
The decentralized “folksonomic” information flow has become a popular business model. This combined with a rebirth of many technologies has given way to an apparent democratization of information. Newsvine is another experiement in this new model. Interestingly, this isn’t too much different than the proposals for IndyMedia. I must question whether […]
I must confess that I’m very excited to see the Wachowski’s next film, “V for Vendetta.” The trailer is a good tease, but this short excerpt from the original comic series is heart-wrenching. I hope the movie captures this kind of spirit. “In 1988 there was the war, and after that there […]
While asleep in a cave, Jon Hicks became very famous for his firefox and thunderbird logos. This is certainly something he appeared to take seriously - even going so far as to study eastern iconography for reference points. The icons remind me of the FedEx Home Deliveries sub-identity and the classic mascot. The “e” is […]
