I love a night sky, with a moon and stars, and maybe a few clouds. Sunsets also get me pretty good. As dodeep blue bodies of water, and clear rushing mountain streams. But the night is my first love. |

lets see... I love the stars. SO MUCH. When I can afford it, im gonna buy a huge telescope to star at the universe Looking out on manhattan at night, when its all light up, from my apartment is really surreal. Concerts. They just seem so bad ass. All this equipment on stage The nude female body. Not to sound like a male pig, but seriously, the nude female form is the most beautiful sight on this earth. Wedding rings. The idea of comitting your life to someone... beautiful |

aesthetically, I'm into minimalism - clean lines, cool/subdued colours (NOT reds, orange,etc), no pictures hanging on walls... I love the juxtaposition of concrete and manicured lawns. If glass was in the mix, that would be chillin' too. Rounded, organically flowing buildings/furniture are wicked, and so are crazy sharp angles and asymetrical stuff. In nature, I love to see: clouds, brilliantly coloured sunsets, the heavens, tropical waters, lush foliage, the nautilus form, rock formations, electric animals (transparent jellyfish to fireflies), iceburgs, other beautiful animals (bobcats to human males with nice bonestructure), blah,blah,blah.... |

^^ ditto, hed... especially the electric animals... plus Crystal structures... Technical Drawing... Obviously computer designed Buildings... Skyscrapers... Neon Tubes... Power Stations... Chemistry Sets... Chaos.. Mathmatical structures... Drug Space.. Decay & Aging next to the super-new... Futurism... Situationists... Graffetti... Digital Manipulation.. Emergent behavior & super-organisms (like Ants etc...)... PS on the subject of Ants....did you know that they've recently discovered the largest Ant colony in the world...it's in Europe and is 7000km long... Yep, 7000km!!...one colony stretching from Italy, thru france, into Spain & Portugal... |

I think looking at the beach from the sea is inspiring. Looking from really close to the waves, right along the water. |

How does that ant colony work? Surely it must have more than one queen? Otherwise how do ants get from the birthing chamber to the extremities (most ants live for less than a month)? Have you read "kingdom of the ants" it's originally french and loses a little in the translation, but it's still a great book. |

Basically everything that's been said above. Love the night. |

Oh yeah, aesthetics. Up until recently I didn't like see through cases on electronic devices. But recently I really like PCBs. I also like chip schematics, CAD drawings. Blueprints. Baroque and rocco design. Gothic architecture Neo-classical arcitecture. Japanese minimalism. Chinese calligraphy (so much nicer than japanese symbols IMO). Well cut suits. The lines of butterfly swords. Oscilloscope waves. The design of the "Dark Eldar" minatures from the games worshop game warhammer 40,000 |

yep, more than one queen... It's not even a native european specis..I believe it's originally from Brazil and came over on some ship... yeah, think I might have read kingdom of the ants...but its was ages & ages ago so can't remember much about it...is it the one where some of the story is told from the point of view of one of the ants?... I'll try and find a link about this Ant colony...I read about it in New Scientist but there's bound to be something on the web... |

Oscilloscope waves...yay!! that was part of the inspiration behind my avatar... Like when you get 2 sine waves modulating each other you get a kinda looping osc display...take that a step further and into 3 dimensions, add some jand spice and you get my avatar... Did some research into this sort of shape after creating a few and found the technical name for em is "lissajous figures"... |

Giant invasion of Argentine ants conquers Europe" "Billions of ants from Argentina have created the Earth's biggest "super organism" in Europe, a network of communicating worker ants spanning more than 3,700 miles. The invading ants are in millions of nests in a supercolony stretching from northern Italy, through the south of France to the Atlantic coast of Spain, in what is thought to be the largest co-operative unit of individual organisms. Laurent Keller, professor of ecology at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, whose research is published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, said entomologists had never before recorded such a huge supercolony of ants. "A collection of colonies acting as one can be described as a supercolony. It is very unusual because ants are usually highly aggressive," Professor Keller said". From The Independent... |

Clouds are pretty great. You can just look and, and it's so VAST, Jesus... and planets are also overwhelmingly huge. The other night, the moon was so full and enormous, I could have reached out a grab it. It's so far, I can't believe people were on it! Yowza! |

There is nothing more inspirational than driving late at night with music on. |

Death, decay, smoke clouds, big fuck off smoke clouds, smoke clouds bigger than death, big as fuck, engulfing everything, blocking out the sun, the world, you, me. Death |

For me, it's the sight of burning corpses, bodies stacked high nad buzzing with flies....the face of a child holding the hand of it's dead mother after an earthquake....the blood, drip-drip-dripping from a torn throat.....oh and swans!! Only kiddin.....For me, it's the ocean!!! Guess it's coz I'm a pisces?? And watching a peice of paper windmilling in the air caught on the air current....something about watching that makes me think of ballet!!! |

American Beauty to one side, I do so agree about the sight of things being swept away by the wind... And flocking is kinda cool as well; like birds or even better fish shoals...there's a cool CGI anim of flocking by a guy called Craig Reynolds; he's from Brooklyn so he called em BOIDS... check it at ... |

Watching paper blow in the wind. Remember the bit in the film where he's filming it? Though I think its a carrier bag but the principle is the same. |

... CGI fish shoals...not as beautiful as the real thing obviously; but amazing how such apparent complex behavior is the end result of 3 basic rules... |

best bit of the movie... |
