Anyone who drops by may notice some things are changing. Spurred on by Sarah’s hacking, I’ve begun the process of taking a hacksaw to my theme, perhaps some of the code too. Now that I’ve thrown myself headfirst into the social, user-generated world of the internet, the next step is to try and work with it.
You’re more than welcome to drop any suggestions as to what looks crap, or doesn’t .
The dual has begun. WIll the wealth of tinkering that Wordpress affords me win the battle against Tumblr’s simplicity? Procrastination says Wordpress, my short attention span says Tumblr. Or something like that.
@socialthing Any chance of an invite, now that you’re hading them out again?
@sarahlincoln Although maybe the SMSes would make it annoying? Not sure.
I’m wondering is twitter actually of any use without sms? Not sure…
I have no idea what this song is about. I have a rough idea it’s the kind of thing I wouldn’t ask my mother to translate but beyond this the only clues come from the music video, which in itself is something quite special.
My immediate reaction was that it was a Dave Chappelle skit that I hadn’t seen. This is not the case. This has been watched over a million times and I’m only responsible for 3 of those so far. I don’t know if old mate El Medico has seen the Chappelle show or even watched one of his own videos when he wasn’t high, but until further notice he’s my artist of the month.

Bacon is delicious. There are those who are against it for various reasons. I’m all for it. I have tremendous respect for pigs and I only hope when I die (or am humanely slaughtered) that what’s left of me can be even half as awesome as what happens when all the parts of a pig are put to use.
Oh. And Flickr has introduced video. It seems quite nifty and their player is far less ugly than YouTube’s. The fact that they already have a massive community with privacy and copyright features built in may scare sites like Vimeo. A 90 second limit (based on the idea of a ‘long photo’ - strange) and no HD means Vimeo still very much has a place for me.
The Powerhouse Museum has also joined The Commons project on Flickr. I like that they’re the only the second institution to jump on board after the US Library of Congress. Their opening contribution consists of the Tyrell collection. It’s chock full of black and white photos of old stuff like this dapper fellow.
I’m not really interested in it. Not to say that I don’t have time for all manner of geeky, nerdy and somewhat irrational musical instruments and interfaces. I most certainly do. Keytars? For sure. Especially ones that shoot fireballs. Theremins? Of course. The Samchillian Tip Tip Tip Cheeepeeeee? Oh hell god fuck yes!
Laser harps? No.
An invite to a beta or two would be nice… Gosh, it’s like applying for a job.
I think i could get more from the good living markets if i put more thought into it.
