The RGB Revolution: CMYK, on Display
February 4, 2011 | 2 Comments | View
Clearly, one of the great benefits of the RGB Revolution is (in tandem with the rise of ubiquitous information and communication, of course), is the democratization of content publication and consumption. Have something to share? Sweet. DIY yourself. Get it out there, and we’ll all check it out. Sounds simple and no-big-dealish, unless you might’ve [...]

Take a Ride on the YouTube Time Machine
January 6, 2011 | No Comments | View
Starting out fresh and refreshed for 2011, we’d like wish you a very happy new year–and decade, for that matter. As it is at every beginning of a new year (or 10-pack of new years), there’s just as much looking back as there is forward. Actually, probably more looking back, since there’s way more to [...]
Protect Ya Neck <- And Know Ya Rig
August 26, 2010 | No Comments | View
By now you might be picking up that we have a penchant for live, street-level musical performance. Full disclosure: we just fully realized it ourselves. So here’s our latest fixation along those lines: This quick little glimmer in the turbid shallows of YouTube caught our eye earlier this week (thanks Alex!) and has clearly stuck [...]
How to Fold a Computer Screen
August 19, 2010 | No Comments | View
It’s tricky, but with fresh elbow grease and the right angles, you can fold your screen into a glowing, video-emanating swan. Also true: you shouldn’t believe everything you read online. You can’t really crease your way to that dream swan, of course. Not yet, anyway. “The fold” however, is a bona fide concept borrowed from [...]
Treasure Trove: Cover Browser
July 15, 2010 | No Comments | View
{ No, no, not the unexpected! Featuring the Man Who Collects Worlds. Fitting. } The modern ability to archive is just ridiculous and wonderful. The internet is where hoarders, packrats, compulsive browsers, sifters, and panners all come together to dance in their respective bee suits like the girl in the Blind Melon video. And for [...]
Synthia: Fun with Synesthesia
June 24, 2010 | No Comments | View
What’s the coolest cognitive condition going? Why, it’s gotta be synesthesia, the condition in which “one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.” (thanks for the official talk, Answers.com) We know at least one official synesthete; she sees letters in assigned [...]
It’s a Great Time to Be Alive: Color-based Flickr Search
June 10, 2010 | No Comments | View
Hang around Michael (our Cerebral Cortex, by title) for any decent amount of time, and you’re guaranteed to hear the following: “…it’s a great time to be alive.” –and when he says it, he’s not being sarcastic or ironic or any of those other wink-based things he might be any minute of the day. He’s [...]
Hipstamatic and Swankolab: Two Apps that Get Photographers, and Vice-Versa
May 27, 2010 | No Comments | View
I don’t miss photography class, not even for 1/60 sec. It was the spool. On the cusp of mainstream digital photography, there I was: sitting alone in the dark, ruining what I hoped were art-school masterpieces, just trying to get the effing film on the effing spool. Don’t let the film touch itself! Better not [...]

New Awesomeness from Trent Reznor
April 29, 2010 | No Comments | View
Our admiration for Trent Reznor just downed a Red Bull and vodka. The announcement of new music to come would’ve been enough in itself to stir the buzzpot for a few of Bluezoom’s resident NIN fans. But when has that ever been enough for Trent Reznor? (The answer is “never”. Again, we’ll encourage you to [...]

The RGB Revolution: Chapter 1
April 1, 2010 | No Comments | View
Flick a little water on your screen (or find something that incites a nice spit-take). See all those colors? Actually, all those three colors? Red, green, and blue: that’s the “RGB” we’re talking about. More to the point, we’re talking about the rise to power of video and display screens, all using the RGB color [...]
