My so called life*

The manual for Spore says exactly: “You may have multiple Spore accounts for each installation of the game.”

Users, however, have been complaining that doesn’t seem possible, and while it took a while, an EA rep finally admitted “our bad”: “That section in the manual was a misprint and will be corrected in future printings of the manual. There is one Spore registration/account per game/serial code so you are correct in that you cannot make multiple accounts at this time.”

Pft. A misprint??? You gotta be kidding me. Full text on:

“Listening Post is an art installation that culls text fragments in real time from thousands of unrestricted Internet chat rooms, bulletin boards and other public forums. The texts are read (or sung) by a voice synthesizer, and simultaneously displayed across a suspended grid of more than two hundred small electronic screens.”

So, basically, Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin turn the IRC into something arty. Very well done, pretty and funny, tho.

5 things we really hate (in case you are clueless):

1. Jar Jar Binks.
2. Ahsoka Tano. Like Yoda would have given Anakin a padawan.
3. Kids. Endless supply of annoying ones. Even the huttlet sucked.
4. Stupid droids. They sound like Jar Jar was the original model.
5. Anakin. The actor sucked, but you know… the animation could have made it better.

There is more, but I would start crying.

“Fleshmap is an inquiry into human desire, its collective shape and individual expressions. In a series of studies, we explore the relationship between the body and its visual and verbal representation.

Touch investigates the collective perception of erogenous zones. We asked hundreds of people to rank how good it would feel to touch or be touched by a lover in different points of the body. The resulting images reveal a map of sensual desire with multiple focal points and islands of excitement.”
