Pac-Man Wheels
March 09, 2006

How cool is this? Ladyada's Pac-Man wheels - "The technology here is "persistence of vision"...when LEDs move fast enough they can "draw" an image when the wheel spins. That's the basis behind both the MiniPOV and SpokePOV..."

Via MAKE

Got myself a copy of Dummy last night - Immediate thoughts are: Great design, type/layout – nice stock. Images on art paper, text on a nice contrasting, recycled looking material. Only £3.50 but expected a little more content for a quarterly, although there isn’t much advertising yet so what's there is practically all copy… The only thing that lets it down is the cover – That masthead is really dull. Saving reading it for a train journey North tomorrow night though, so I can’t comment on that yet!

We saw Night Of The Iguana last Monday. Bit disappointed to be honest. Clare Higgins and Jenny Seagrove were excellent. Although I think an older woman than Seagrove should have been cast as Hannah, the spinster. Woody Harrelson didn’t live up to my expectations, set by Richard Burton’s Shannon in John Huston’s 1964 movie version, and he fluffed his lines a couple of times! I don’t think sexual tension is really his forte!

And what’s with the Germans… I don’t remember them in the film! Although it's been years since I've seen it. Surprisingly, quite a few laughs as well. Odd! Still we only paid £10 each for tickets and were upgraded to the front row of the dress circle as the other two circles were closed [due to lack of interest I imagine – although this play only has a couple more weeks to run] and to be honest the Lyric is so tiny you’re never far from the stage anyway. Impressive storm though, complete with rain!
