” ‘art’ “* project of the day.

plan a route through cape town where the the reading of the street names and stop signs makes a message in the style-ee of a telegram***.
some minor vandalism may be required to make it flow smoothly.

disclosure: the more I think about it, the more I feel like I’ve stolen this idea from someone.
if it’s you, pipe up.
and - sorry.

word of the day.
new to me.
the touchy equivalent of optical.

hmm…

peeking through the holey bit in the rattan furniture.

The sim in Parfait’s 3G card, which I use to access the interwebs at home or when I’m at the TV office, sometimes gets wrong SMSes.
Ones obviously meant for someone else.

Today there were two offering their condolences to someone on the loss of their mother.
One of them was in SMS speak.
Something along the lines of:

Sorry 2 here yr mum passd away.

Wrong on so many levels (most of them more than six feet under).

Early morning.
Cape Town CBD.
Two intrepid photographers on their way to shoot cyclists.
Excerpt of conversation between them, presented in IRC format.

PhotoHuman1: Hey, look at the SARS* sign.
PhotoHuman1: It’s all neon.
PhotoHuman1: Looks kinda like a casino.
PhotoHuman2: Well…
PhotoHuman2: The house always wins.

It was funny at the time.
I guess you had to be there.
And on the edge of consciousness since it was 6 am and you’d only had one coffee so far.
twitch…
