Character Sneak Peek from Inkstrumental iPhone App
Doodlesplatter will be bringing you sneak peeks and exclusive info on Jon and ustwo’s upcoming iPhone app, Inkstrumental, as we count down to its release. The kind folks at ustwo have given us a hint at the characters to come, as seen below. Later this week, they will be releasing a panoply of character-based iPhone wallpapers on their blog, so tune in, or um, yes, we’ll probably remind you.
Doodles Encoded as Music
This is a fun and creative distraction. Code Organ analyzes the body of a website and translates the code into music. It scans the content and removes all letters not in the musical scale. There’s all sorts of other stuff involved in the “complex algorithm,” but if you want to know about it, you can read the About page. In fact, I highly doubt you’re still reading this, because if I were you, I’d have already clicked over to Code Organ to be honest. HI MOM!

Let’s Go All the Wayback
We’ve been doing a bunch of wayback artkiving lately with various bits of Burger ephemera popping up on Doodlesplatter each day. The Twitter is really the best place to get notification of these 25 or so posts (unless you have the time to peruse the whole site daily). I thought I was actually (albeit momentarily) caught up, when Amir dropped me a link to the *actual* Internet Wayback Machine’s cache of Jon’s own site for almost exactly 9 years now. Nearly all of the images have moved on and the links are broken, but there’s some gem text still visible. In 2001, the site’s “disclaimer” read: “this site is still in its infancy and as yet hasn’t been toilet trained.” We snagged a few early character images. A couple even made their way to the early screensavers. If you have too much time on your hands, or maybe just a passing break between other matters of importance, kill some time and brain cells seeing how your favorite websites looked wayback here.
Humac Doodles from Oslo
Jon posted up some pictures from his recent trip to Oslo where he did digital doodling at Humac. Writes Jon:
This was my first ever trip to Norway. I noticed it was snowy but nice there.

Inkstrumental Sneak Peeks
Inkstrumental™ is almost upon us. We’ll have something exclusive for you from ustwo shortly. In the meantime, turn up your speakers’ volume and enjoy a sneak peak at the iPhone app (below) as well as a bit of Inkstrumental™ CRAZO™ (the unreleased “lite” version, above) that ustwo released late last Fall.
Wacom Doodling in Oslo
Following up his successful Cintiq stint in Munich, Jon takes his digital doodlefest roadshow to Oslo Norway. Jon will appear at Humac on Friday, January 29th and then head over to a party here. Full press release (may require translation!) on Jon’s site.
Doodled Floppy Disk
Can’t resist posting one more completely random object for the day. Floppy disk spotted by Jeps on floppyswop.co.uk.
What is Floppyswop? Why, it’s “a place for sharing any files small enough to fit on a conventional floppy disc (1.44meg High density), art, media, sound, noise, its up to you, all files are hosted here for taking and swopping…”
Have a most random weekend!
Free inkstrumental iPhone App Wallpapers
Every couple months, there’s something new to post about inkstrumental, and we hear ustwo is getting close to releasing Jon’s iPhone app. Although it’s a bit like putting the cart in front of the horse, it’s great advertising and obviously, I’m a sucker for a JB wallpaper. I don’t see a way to link to the individual post on their tumblr site, but currently at the top of the page: four free colorful, virtual wallpaper downloads.
Customized iPods
It’s not a temporary iPod skin and it’s not a permanently lasered laptop. These PoscaPods fall somewhere in the middle. Very, very cool! To see more random objects get Burgerized, click here.
Remote Action Doodling
From a flat in Nottingham to a club in Berlin, using two tin cans and a length of rope. Some people call it Skype. Writes Jon:
Using Skype I performed with Jim and then doodled live. The video was projected on a large screen in the venue in Berlin. I was accompanying Jim Avignon as he performed songs from his brilliant new album - Say Hi To Your Neighborhood.
