Would you take a look at that? It seems the Bare Naked Ladies are keeping a blog. I’m not sure why I think that’s so cool, but it is. Isn’t it? More bands should do stuff like this. It seems like a good way to keep the “feel” of a personal relationship with the fans. [...]

Well, now there is a coincidence. I was just mentioning to somebody that I’d like to eventually go see Ireland, and what do I happen upon but a bunch of Time Lapse Road Movies that allow you to take a road tour of Ireland as well as Spain and Australia and a whole bunch of [...]

So, I’ve got this Random Blog link. A lot of times, when I’m half watching TV, I’ll just randomly bounce around from blog to blog. Thing is that persianblog and all of its various users have started pinging blo.gs (as well as weblogs.com) like a lot. So it seems like every 1 in 10, 1 [...]

The Dream Project looks like it has some potential. As near as I can tell, people write about and even narrate their dreams. These “tellings” serve as inspiration for artists who create images to go along with it. The goal is to create a map of our collective unconscious in what must be some sort [...]

Oh, now This I like. Yep, I like it a bunch. I’ve downloaded my PSD file, and I shall have to give the design of my appartment some serious consideration. By the way, did you know that Quicktime will display layred PSD files inside of IE 5.1 for the Mac? No, I didn’t either. That’s [...]

Nice to see medical science making progress with understanding Alzheimer’s. If there is a disease out there that scares me to no end it would have to be that one. I can’t even imagine how frustrating it must be to have something as fundamental as yourself betray you like that. The Wired article also has [...]

I’m not sure what’s going on with Indigen. Well, I know there’s some pretty graphic cartoon style violence, and some interestingly rendered 3D work (picture Wallace and Gromit meets Itchy and Scratchy, but in Africa), but outside of that, I don’t have any idea. It’s a major download, so only try it if you’ve got [...]

The Video for Bright Eyes song “Bowl of Oranges” is pretty interesting. It’s a little like claymation except they appear to be using yarn and cut out pieces of paper. Pretty cool, go check it out (site requires free registration).

I don’t know that I agree with this, but it’s interesting all the same. The premise is that we talk about navigating when we mean understanding. I suppose it depends on the context, but generally, I’m not interested in understanding a web site. There are particular answer(s) to particular question(s) that I’m interested in finding, [...]

I would expect to find Look At me to be very compelling. But, most of the photos I ducked in to look at were all posed. I find posed photos way less interesting than candids. Who wants to see people being self-aware? Well, unless they are VERY self aware (NSFW). Which is interesting in entirely [...]
