Sheep on CBS's new show "Threshold"
Electric Sheep is being featured on
the new CBS TV Show
Threshold.
The text on their web site on the lower right says:
Fractal Screensaver
Take part in the elaborate creation of a communal computer-generated fractal screensaver.
Download it and receive alien visions.

The show looks cool and the crop-circle logo is intriguing but I have no idea what this show is about. I tried to watch the trailer and failed. I even tried with Internet Explorer on a fucking Windows XP computer with Real Player open and on the desktop. I just got some error. Is this the best corporate
American can do in 2005? Hey guys, please just put a mpeg4 file on your website. Mencoder works great and is free.

Ok politics aside, I am completely pleased to be on the show. Thank you.

So, they didn't ask you about this before posting it on their website? I mean, theoretically, your servers could get completely overwhelmed, and the sheep download problem could get worse...still, it's interesting to see on such a high-profile website. Are elements of the screensaver/animations incorporated into the show at all? Would be pretty slick.
no they did ask and they are very nice.
we have been slammed & overloaded before.
it passes...
i'm just complaining about website's reliance
on RealPlayer and how in 2005 CBS can't
deliver a trailer to my desktop.

interesante jamas pense que se realizaria una serie tan impactante como "threshold" gracias.adios
