Useless visual effects added.
I added some useless visual effects to the site thanks to MooTools.
And my site is a bit broken in IE.

I have an idea.
I want a service that lets me post to Twitter, Tumblr, my blog, Facebook, my IMs, Xanga, LiveJournal, sets my song status in iLike, and prints a little nametag to stick to my shirt.
Hello Web 2.0.

CBC Radio 3
I wrote about CBC Radio 3 a while ago and if our server didn’t have a meltdown and I had good backups I’d link to that story. But the server did melt and backups are for sissies, so you’ll have to talk my word for it. Nevertheless, I e-strolled by and was once again I was treated to a wealth of hot indie music.
Specifically, ThunderHeist was a nice surprise. And the live session with Tokyo Police Club.

Where would you slot Thunderheist into the musical colour wheel? I’ve been hearing a lot about them lately.

As of right now, I’d say “interesting.” This is only due to low exposure. Due to no album, we only have MySpace/CBC and seeing them live.

TV on my Radio.
Matt and I are going to see TV on the Radio this Sunday. To prepare for any concert I like to listen to everything I possibly can by the band, so I dug around and found their previous stuff in a milk crate in the basement.
Why did I put this music away? It’s so effing great. This concert shall be “teh awesome.”

SixApart generosity.
I won a new iPod Shuffle from Vox for completing a blogging survey.
They shipped it to me and that incurred a sizable charge at customs.
SixApart stepped up and paid that fee as well.
Nice play. Thanks Gladys!

Rogue Amoeba’s Fission – awesometown.
As I mentioned, I cut together a mix for my Fartlek interval training. I did it using Rogue Amoeba’s Fission, and Apple’s Garageband. I’m not an audio dude in anyway, but it took about 40 minutes from start to finish to produce the first version of the interval mix.
I just wanted to give props to both Fission and Garageband. It was so simple to pull this off because of them.
Props to DJ SteveBoy as well for his podcast PodRunner.

I too discovered the joys of DJ Steveboy, and the benefits of a soundtrack based on BPM’s. But man…can that guy quit asking for money in the first 10 min of every podcast? We’re just gonna ffwd on ya, so what are you REALLY accomplishing?

I find the mixes hit or miss, some I’ll use over and over, others I delete almost immediately.

What I can do, Matt, is stop doing the mixes entirely, especially if no one helps out with the cost of 36 TB a month that you’re eating up for nothing. Two minutes of intro for an hour of music that would cost $10 anywhere. I’m usually pretty nice about criticism, but this whining bullshit really chafes my ass. It’s FREE, Matt. What exactly do I owe you on a weekly podcast that you’re, on your own admission, benefitting by? Maybe you should buy the Nike mixes — no one talks in those.

OLPC could be sold to the public.
Apparently the public will be able to buy the “One Laptop Per Child” machine. You’ll buy two, you get one, and the other is sent to a child.
Done and done.

I like this quote.
From a buddy of Dean Karnazes:
“The human body has limitations,” Karnazes says. “The human spirit is boundless.” Your mind, in other words, is your most important muscle. As a running buddy told him: “Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow!! What a ride!”

That article was sick. The thought of running back to back marathons makes my shins ache. The thought of running 50 marathons back to back to back to …ad nauseum, makes me feel like the fattest, laziest man on the planet. But also makes me wanna get on the treadmill tonight.

I liked his goal of “being able to run a marathon as any time.”
Lofty to say the least.

I love the evolution of the Marathon. The legend says the first runner ran approximately 26 Miles to warn of invasion, delivered his news and promptly died, the rulers of the day decided that this would make a kick ass sport, and today thousands of people emulate this feat.
And now, we’ve got people that go, 26 Miles is not hard enough, I’ll run back to back marathons or run one in the desert or strap walnuts to my feet and run one on the face of the sun. How will this sport progress in the future?

How about ICQ? Tell me I’m not the only one left…

You may be. I was just posting on my BBS about ICQ. Using my Tandy. In the 80s.
Snap.
