You may have all OD’ed on Steve Jobs tributes, but over the weekend I got into a run of watching YouTubes from various points in his life.
This one is him presenting then first ever Macintosh to astonished punters in 1984.
The look on his face, when the crowd looses it at the end, is quite something.
(via Open Culture)
Also here is him dealing with haters hating after he returned to the company in 1997. (via Peter Nidzgorski)
Here is the famous Stanford Commencement Speech in 2005 from which a lot of the quotes that have been flying around the internet were taken. (via Katie West)
And finally, just to keep things in perspective (other technology is available etc), here is What Everyone is Too Polite To Say About Steve Jobs. (via John Brissenden)

The Trojan War as told by CBBC’s Horrible Histories.
Kids love it, (I should know), and it actually won the proper grown up “Best Sketch Show” comedy award.
No lowest common denominator here thanks.
New series on now, and it is well funny, innit.

“Portents is an ambitious project bringing the different communities of Bristol together through public art. It will fill one of Bristol’s most iconic spaces, College Green, with a tent city of over 50 tents – each one printed with a design contributed by a different community from around Bristol. The result will be a great tent city – emblazoned with images and messages from around Bristol –a visual demonstration of the diversity that gives our city its strength.”

So I’d thought I’d celebrate by posting a bit of me-time.
I’ve been keeping an animated journal for about a year, and I edited the best ones together because DukeOfRochdale told me there was a Vimeo competition on.
Any Vimeo “likes” given may be rewarded with beer (normal terms and conditions apply).
Love to you all.

“An homage to the great Alvin Lucier, this piece explores the ’photocopy effect’, where upon repeated copies the object begin to accumulate the idiosyncrasies of the medium doing the copying. Full words: I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice as well as the image of myself, and I am going to upload it to YouTube, rip it from YouTube, and upload it again and again, until the original characteristics of both my voice and my image are destroyed. What you will see and hear, then, are the artifacts inherent in the video codec of both YouTube and the mp4 format I convert it to on my computer. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a digital fact, but more as a way to eliminate all human qualities my speech and image might have.”

“My kids are starting to notice I’m a little different from the other dads. “Why don’t you have a straight job like everyone else?” they asked me the other day. I told them this story: In the forest, there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. Every day, the straight tree would say to the crooked tree, “Look at me…I’m tall, and I’m straight, and I’m handsome. Look at you…you’re all crooked and bent over. No one wants to look at you.” And they grew up in that forest together. And then one day the loggers came, and they saw the crooked tree and the straight tree, and they said, “Just cut the straight trees and leave the rest.” So the loggers turned all the straight trees into lumber and toothpicks and paper. And the crooked tree is still there, growing stronger and stranger every day.”
