Norman McLaren was an animator from Great Britain who came to Canada in the late 40's and made a bunch of short films for the National Film Board. He used a method of scratching directly into the optical audio track to create the soundtrack for this short.

i made one of these a few years ago and used it daily for a few weeks. you don't really "dream" but instead see incredible patterns and shapes. if you relax and let your mind wonder enough the shapes eventual take shape to form complex objects. very weird and fun.

anyone else ever used one of these?

Say someone wanted to use a William Morris Pattern in a print/poster. Can they do that? He's been dead for eons and the firm he worked for closed thier doors prior to WW2.

BTW I'm not the "someone". I don't design. Don't know how. I just find it interesting that they could do this and was wondering what the mighty PVN thought of this.

ate meat (chicken) for the first time in 7 years.

and it was gooooooooooooood.

first started being a vegetarian when i was in school and thought it was the morally responsible thing to do. now i'm just hungry and fake meat products simply don't cut it. anyone else with a similar experience?
