Wayang is an Indonesian word for theatre (literally “shadow”). Wayang Kulit is the indonesian shadow puppet theatre, in which finely carved and painted leather puppets move behind a screen making the audiance see their shadows only.

In Reverse Shadow Theatre (vimeo) the situation is reversed. The role of the elaborate puppets is emphasized, while the visitor is a mere shadow trying to control the puppets by her movements.

Reverse Shadow Theatre is created with the Animata real-time animation editor. Animata is developed by Peter Nemeth, Gabor Papp and Bence Samu whose peculiarity consists in giving movement to figures and backgrounds in real-time: Code Dreams are Made of This. If you want to try playing around with the software yourself, the Animata software can be downloaded for free.

This is a 2 years old video. I already looking around, find one post in Kaskus too, but can’t find out their history, why use wayang (EyesWeb got real-time puppet animation too), or maybe one of the team studied in Indonesia once. And I found their lab, Kitchen Budapest, is interesting, they have many great project.

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillowed upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon in death.

John Keats

Wew… even though I don’t understand. Can’t say so beautiful, but wew. And the movie, same title, Bright Star (2009) is good, 8/10. Drama-romance with classic English theme. I like it.

67th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Winners to be announced on Sunday, January 17th. Here’s my choice. Choice, not prediction. We’ll never know how they pull the string.

Awards still shift product: this is a fact.

Just like Emmy. Remember Dr. Horrible interrupted the Ernst and Young voting explanation? So here it is. And my choices are a little subjectively too. Something like, I don’t like old people’s movies.

Best Motion Picture – Drama: Inglourious Basterds (2009).

Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy: (500) Days of Summer (2009). This one rather fit drama-romance + comedy (I just made up this category). But I found that The Hangover (2009) is not so funny. It’s Complicated (2009) is crap – the old people’s movies. Julie is okay, Julia is annoying, especially her voice. Nine (2009) is not released yet in pirate’s world.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama: George Clooney for Up in the Air (2009), job with traveling involved ftw, and I’ve only watched this and Invictus (2009) for the time being.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama: Sandra Bullock for The Blind Side (2009). Carey Mulligan is fairly good. I watched The Young Victoria (2009) a while ago, don’t remember much, first time I heard of The Last Station (2009), not interested in Precious (go under the radar if it wasn’t publicized by Oprah?).

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy: Joseph Gordon-Levitt for (500) Days of Summer (2009), only watched this and A Serious Man (2009) yet. Just got Sherlock Holmes (2009) yesterday.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy: Sandra Bullock for The Proposal (2009). Duplicity (2009) is musical, comedy? Hate Meryl Streep btw.

Best Director – Motion Picture: James Cameron for Avatar (2009), though when I watched this in the movies (3D) I was sleepy and uncomfortable. Still waiting for 720p or something.

Best Screenplay – Motion Picture: Inglourious Basterds (2009): Quentin Tarantino.

Best Animated Film: Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009). The Princess and the Frog (2009) came out yesterday too (the only one I’m not watching yet). But it looks like too ‘kids‘, like Up (2009).

Best Foreign Language Film: Los abrazos rotos (2009), the only one I’ve watched yet, it won Critics Choice Awards anyway.

Best Television Series – Drama: “House M.D.” (2004). Too much drama in the last season of “Dexter” (2006), boring.

Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy: “Modern Family” (2009), “Entourage” (2004) as runner-up. “30 Rock” (2006) is not funny, freak, I don’t like any of the crews. Don’t know how can they won Emmy three years in the row. I don’t like arrogant boss in “The Office” (2005), not so funny anyway. “Glee” (2009)… meh, high school musical?

Best Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television: “Little Dorrit” (2008) and Taking Chance (2009) are good. Grey Gardens (2009) is boring eccentric.

I think that’s it. I’m not covering all categories. Let’s look who is winning tonight.

Storytlr is an open source lifestreaming and micro blogging platform. You can use it for a single user or it can act as a host for many people all from the same installation.

You can see review from Ars, installation procedure at project home wiki.

But, if you don’t have ssh access to your host like me, you can install Storytlr using this alternative way:

• Download the package
• Upload it to your host, unzip (via file manager)
• Create database and username-password. This is important: If you use strong password, you might get blank page after installation
• Import /protected/install/database.sql to database you’ve created before
• Go to the /protected/install/config/ folder, and make a copy of the provided config sample file to config.ini, edit it, i.e. database name, username, password, host name
• Now you can browse the site, login: admin and password: storytlr, if you still get blank page try to change permission 777 to folder temp/, upload/, logs/ and feeds/
