Decorate Your Device

"Laika" by Juan Marín at Poolga

Several websites have made a variety of artistic backgrounds and videos availble for free download to put on your zune or ipod/iphone. Zune-arts in particular is a great resource for videos, music, and tons of backgrounds for your desktop and zune. Also check out Poolga for more. Customizing is fun. If you don't have a digital device like a zune or ipod/iphone - you can download desktop backgrounds from the Zune-arts site too. Everybody wins. There's a great blog with tons of videos here too.

Video Art for your Ipod or Zune

Happy New Year Everyone. I'm looking forward to all that 2008 has in store.

My regularly scheduled blogging will continue to be unpredictable until I get this ongoing computer power supply problem sorted out. In good news though - I now have a Zune mp3/video/picture device that I'm loving (thanks dude). Since getting it, I've been exploring the world of podcasting - something that I know very little about - and I'm amazed at how much free (legal) content there is out there on nearly every interest imaginable. I was browsing some art related podcasts and came across artaviva - a site that is promoting video art for high-definition televisions. They're asserting that the flat-panel high-definition screen is the "contemporary canvas". Whether or not you agree with them you should check out their site and download a few of the video podcasts (aka "vodcasts") for your ipod or zune or maybe just to watch on your computer. They are pretty tranquil from what I can tell - which may help you ease in to the new year.
