One more reason for me to want an iPhone.
A pocket sized digital graffiti blackbook designed for recording more than just ink.
DustTag is an iPhone application designed for graffiti writers that visualizes the motion involved in the creation of a tag. Motion data is recorded, analyzed and archived in a free and open database, 000000book.com, where writers can share 3-D animated representations of their hand styles. All tags created in DustTag are saved as Graffiti Markup Language (GML) files, a new digital standard used by other popular graffiti applications such as Laser Tag and EyeWriter. DustTag is fully compatible with the Graffiti Analysis 2.0 software suite, which is available online for free at graffitianalysis.com and can be used to playback DustTag creations from the iPhone on your OSX, Windows or Linux desktop systems.
DustTag was created by artist and Graffiti Research Lab co-founder Evan Roth, and artist and openFrameworks guru Chris Sugrue. Graffiti Analysis is an open source initiative built in openFrameworks and is available online for free at graffitianalysis.com
Features:
* Line thickness based on speed.
* Tags rendered in 3-D based on time.
* Rotating the phone rotates the tag in 3-D.
* Multi-touch functionality for navigating 3-D environment.
* All tags can be uploaded to 000000book.com for free download.
* All DustTags can be played back in OSX, Windows and Linux desktop systems.
* Ability to tag graffiti data with keywords.
* Single line as well as multi-line drawing modes.
* Full screen animated 3-D playback of graffiti tag sequences.

New Commenting System
So I was using IntenseDebate for the comments for a while, but I decided to switch it over to Disqus. It’s not that IntenseDebate wasn’t good, it’s just that Disqus is better. Now you can post comments anonymously, or log in via Facebook Connect, Twitter, Open ID, or or you can sign up for a free Disqus account.
Just like you could follow other IntenseDebate users, you can o the same thing on Disqus, but now you link back to a wider array of other social networks in your Disqus profile like Flickr. Why not follow me?
Oh, and you can still subscribe to the RSS feed of any post’s comment section so you can see if people are replying to you. There’s also the ability to leave video comments, but I haven’t activated it yet. Maybe in the future if there’s a demand for it.
Another cool little thing with Disqus is the fact that we get our own Disqus community page! Check out albotas.disqus.com. It’s sort of a threaded version of different posts and images from Albotas for Disqus users to comment on. I haven’t figured out all the ins and outs yet, but it seems pretty cool so far.
I know a lot of other bigger blogs like /Film use Disqus, so you’ll be able to post just about anywhere without having to create a new account. Leave a comment and let me know what you guys think. Feel free to ask any questions as well.
