Dead Syrians — Sanitised Version

I just learnt about the exist­ence of a site that sim­ul­tan­eously tracks the people that have already been murdered by the Syr­ian gov­ern­ment while beau­ti­fully sum­mar­ising the data into a map with bubbles of fig­ures. No pic­tures of blood, soot, hun­ger, and tears. Just a poetic and eerie reminder of what the world gov­ern­ments are …

Test Tube Burgers? Yes Please!

I became a veget­arian because of Cit­izen Radio, then a vegan because of Eat­ing Anim­als. My con­cern is both envir­on­mental and eth­ical in nature. Is an animal-laced diet more envir­on­ment­ally det­ri­mental than a vegan and/or vegan based diet? Over­whelm­ingly yes. Do anim­als suf­fer from com­mer­cial farm­ing? Yes. Their suf­fer­ing can even be cat­egor­ised and meas­ured by …

Inkscape and GIMP are on Google+

Title says it all.

Click for HNNNNNNGH

I often choose what I watch accord­ing to the qual­ity of the music accom­pa­ny­ing the series. This would be a prime example of an uploaded music video prompt­ing, nay, com­pel­ling me to watch the show. The phrase “SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY” has never rang truer. I had no idea what the show Inu X …

The Scale of the Universe

A lot of love exudes from this decept­ively simple flash applic­a­tion by Cary and Michael Huang show­ing the scale of objects and con­cepts when placed together: The Scale of the Uni­verse 2 Why 2? Because this is quite likely the improved ver­sion from The Scale of the Uni­verse, its pre­de­cessor. Check out some of the other …

Happy Darwin Day

The sec­u­lar move­ment has come a long way in Malay­sia within the past few years, with a great major­ity of the move­ment sup­por­ted by groups on the Inter­net. This Dar­win Day, cel­eb­rate the joys of free­dom of con­science, free­dom of dis­be­lief, and free­dom of thought by join­ing the fol­low­ing com­munit­ies of athe­ists in Malay­sia: Malay­sian …

Tell the World

Artists, the good ones mostly, aren’t inspired by the prom­ise of per­petual roy­al­ties to cre­ate more art. For why else would a thing like Hat­sune Miku be cre­ated, to be re-imagined in count­less ways, whether vul­gur, cute, ugly, or beau­ti­ful? Shar­ing, cre­at­ing works of art upon pre­vi­ous works of art has always been a part of …
