Welcome to random notes, a semi-regular, almost-daily and completely platitudinous collection of text, pixels, links and other finds from the web

An absolutely stunning piece of film-making for this Toshiba commercial by Grey London. Honestly, I don’t know how the heck this advert sells Toshiba’s Upscaling technology in particular, but the jaw-dropping technique is just fantastic. You can’t really go wrong with a Crystal Castles track for the music either.

The scale of the production is massive: 200 Toshiba camcorders, 2.5 million individually named frames and 20 terabytes of video.

A very interesting and enthusiastic talk from Brian “Rock Star” Cox, though you I he had gone more in-depth on some the things he talked about. But, on a completely different tangent, reading some of the comments made me remember, rather sadly, that not everyone can reconcile religion with science.

Hello

Most folks who visit random notes seem to hang around for about 9.254 minutes on average.

My name is and I just learned that the hash sign is also known as an octothorp. It's exactly this kind of unnecessary information works its way into conversations that scares people away from me. Not that I am really complaining though…
