weekend activity flurry

Jun. 28th, 2007 | 12:52 pm
music: distance - night vision

-- I'm excited to see this on Friday...



and perhaps Swayzak afterwards.

-- Sunday is the Long Now event for Eno's 77 Million Paintings thing...



-- Monday is the Battles show!

-- this must've taken a lot of practice...

-- here's an oldie, but a goodie:

-- this video is also awesome.

-- Does anyone here use Gootodo.com for their to-do list? I just finished reading the creator's book, BIt Literacy, and I really really want to use it... but don't want to send my work email to his servers. There's gotta be a mac app I can find that let's you to defer tasks into the future no?

-- My car reunites with me today so I can finally get rid of the rental. Gonna look at 2 promising apartments/roommate situations this weekend in SF as well. Life is crazy, but great!

new Daft Punk and Helmet! (sort of)

Apr. 23rd, 2007 | 01:30 am
music: DJ Mehdi - Signatune

Gotdamn this song (and video) is awesome. Turn it up loud!

DJ Mehdi, edit by T. Bangalter of Daft Punk - Signatune

Also in the awesome category... the latest Warp signing, Battles, feat. members of Helmet and Don Caballero...

I hear they're playing the Croc in July... can't wait!

I'm not sure why, but LJ is adding a bunch of useless space underneath embedded youtube videos all of a sudden... it didn't used to do that before. I may move these kinds of posts over to Tumblr... haven't tried it out yet, but this guy's blog is sort of like mine and I like the way Tumblr formats the content in his posts.

  • I love this graphic, taken from a new NYT article on the subject of information overload...



    There's also a book coming out soon on how to handle all of this incoming data, entitled Bit Literacy...



    The table of contents hits the right notes for me...

    PART I: THE CONTEXT
    Chapter 1: Bits - (click to read)
    Chapter 2: Users
    Chapter 3: The Solution

    PART II: THE METHOD
    Chapter 4: Managing Incoming E-mail
    Chapter 5: Managing Todos
    Chapter 6: The Media Diet
    Chapter 7: Managing Photos
    Chapter 8: Creating Bits
    Chapter 9: File Formats
    Chapter 10: Naming Files
    Chapter 11: Storing Files
    Chapter 12: Other Essentials
    Chapter 13: The Future of Bit Literacy

    Appendix A: Message to Developers
    Appendix B: On Mac vs. Windows
    Afterword by Phil Terry
  • The Daft Punk links keep on coming, this time, their film Electroma has leaked. I'm a few minutes in and have confirmed that it totally rules. These guys are geniuses. Trailer...


    I don't know what kind of film stock they used, but it's awesome... makes it look like something out of the late 70s. The music is also top notch... not techno or house, but selections from other artists that fit the mood perfectly. I hope to see a proper soundtrack released.

    Their essential mix has also re-surfaced, and it is very much essential.

  • My buddy Martin has a blog that's been on fire recently with clever finds from the net. Check out his latest offering (particularly Kermit the Frog's rendition of "Hurt.")

  • I love what David Bryne has to say about mp3s and media fidelity. So very on the money.

  • Justin Timberlake is coming to town in September. Get them panties ready for throwing.
