This is moby‘s new favorite website. it’s probably been around for ages, but he just recently discovered it.

Many in the geek community will know of the term “Abandonware”, which refers to software that has been abandoned by its developers, and has essentially become morally neutral to pirate as a result. Artificial Owl, however, is a blog about abandoned manmade physical structures. Buildings… artwork… airplanes… even a sea of ship anchors left in a desert. The imagery on this site is absolutely fascinating. It’s like one of those books you find in someone’s bathroom… you know… the ones that result in someone pounding on the door going “Does it really take 2 hours to go for a shit?!?!?!”

I had someone ask me today “But Bytey, what is the point of this strange website you’re constructing? You complain about dead forums, but it seems to me that to attract an audience, one needs a purpose… no?”

And to this I responded: There is no point. No porpoise.

Quite simply, I have no goal in creating this site. Well, there is complete world domination, but that was really an afterthought. My philosophy these days has been “build it and they will scratch their heads”. Is this some dadaist concoction, meant to astound and annoy? No, that it is neither.

Lets look at the facts:

1. I has a forum
2. I has som blogginz
3. I has som musics
4. I has som bad picturz
5. I has som writinz I’ve yet to post

And now you can see. Pointful? I think not.

I’m not trollin. I’m BYTE-Smasher.
