We're down

In case you can't tell, there is trouble right here in River City. Our ISP had some drives crash and nostatic.com was affected. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon...

creating the future through praxis

The analog soul for a digital world. This is home to nostatic, creative thinking and disruptive technologies. We love to solve problems and we love to create. Here you'll find information and examples of both.

We're interested in engaging a wide variety of projects related to digital media, education, training, and marketing. Among other things, we believe that stories are immersive and aesthetic is important. We can leverage the resources and expertise of a large University community, as well as commercial partners in the game, entertainment, and technology industries.

If you have challenges that touch digital media, contact us.

of note

As you might notice, I haven't been updating this main site regularly. This is due to a fairly heavy workload as well as trying to get various creative project moving. I do however blog every day so feel free to keep up with nostatic that way. The links are just to the left of this under the "nostatic at all..." header.

amazon'd

The wonders of modern technology and a little elbow grease (digitally applied of course). 8slices is now available on amazon. Check it out.

8slices is out

I'm happy to announce that I finally finished editing three years or so worth of free verse into a snappy little 111 page manuscript that is now available for free download (digital) or purchase (analog).

8slices

easy being green

The Nobel Prize in chemistry was announced today, going to three scientists who brought Green Fluorescence Protein (GFP) to the world. I have a little history with GFP...and thanks to the interwebs I can prove it.

mash it good

Ever watch a movie and say, "hey I recognize that intersection?" Or wonder where a scene was done? Here is a totally cool mix of the famous chase scene from Bullitt combined with Google maps to show you where they are.

sincere flattery

Nokia debuted its 5800 touch screen phone - but don't call it an iPhone killer. Or wanna be. Or whatever. They can say what they want, but it sure looks like an iPhone rip off to me. What is interesting is the fact that seminal devices and interfaces often spawn imitators...and most think, "oh, that's the only way to do it, of course it looks like that." Well then how does the *first* one get made? Oh yeah...someone has some creativity.

LG has a more interesting entry. Renoir is more camera than phone and it has some very cool tricks wrt focusing, etc. The collision of camera and phone needs a few kicks in the rear, this might be one of them.

networked publics

Finally, a book (non-digital) that I contributed to comes out. It is an outgrowth of the work done by the Networked Publics cohort during the '05-'06 academic year at the USC Annenberg Center for Communication (now defunct). It is available from MIT Press. No, no royalties for me, but it is interesting stuff. And maybe provides the necessary kick in the rear to finish writing my book on the analog to digital conversion. Always more to do...

buy once, play (no)where?

The Digital Entertainment and Content Ecosystem (wow, what a name) has announced a consortium that will put the customer at the center of the content universe. Well, isn't that nice of them? It is headed by Sony (uh oh), which as everyone knows has been at the forefront of open technologies and interoperability. Not.

If Apple and Amazon aren't on board (and they aren't), this will go nowhere...
