So… life’s been a little weird lately, and I stopped posting my “Everything I bookmarked todays” lists, but I’m still here.
Here’s some things I’m not writing about.
- My mom’s health. Happy thoughts towards speedy recovery, mmmmkay dear readers? KayThanks.
- Our firstborn son going to school in a week (didn’t we give him to someone as payment for something, already?)
- June’s 2nd Podcast (was going to do August’s Cover/Prince double-barrel show, but mom went back into surgery again, ’cause she seems to really enjoy DOING THAT, and so I drove out to the ‘wack to go see her afterwards. I sang my guts out while driving out there, does that count?
- Itty bitty motherboards.
- James Brown WISHES he could jam with these guys. (unplugged, too)
- Sharing your wifi (without giving away your WEP/WPA keys), and getting same from others.
- Why I was using a computer to play Adventur when I was SIX on the mainframe at Queen’s (bonus points: why I heart encrypted communication so very very much). Mom must’ve been singing me to sleep with this stuff…
- Some weird band from Holland I might like, if I heard more.
- I should have watched more of those load screens and DEMOES on my C64, I might’ve become an artist instead of a techie…
- How would I say it? How would YOU say it? How would they say it?
- Yummy, yummy Steampunk. (Oh, and Arwen and I are going to see William Gibson talk ’bout his new book at CBC Radio 1. How Canadian/Nerdy can we GET?)
- Videos that’re just a bunch of people dancing aren’t new… neither’s choppy editing to make up for visual narrative.
- Bears – Beets – Battlestar Galactica: Top 10 Scenes from the Office
- Straw + Ink + Drawing in Monster Bits = Good.
- Slipping Firefox past people who prefer Vista’s black glass looks.
- Tie someone to a tree with their own feet.
- Lipogram: Story of over 50,000 words without using the letter “E” (etc)
- Pretty. Weird. Pretty/weird.
- Photography, and eco stuff, with nerdiness and alsoplus – can Burning Man Go Green?
- The guy who droplifted the fake Parrots Hilt’n cds with titles like “Why am I famous” and “What have I done?” does all SORTS of other art.
- Future Sound of London has come full-circle, and is doing what Kraftwerk used to: Breaking stuff, rebuilding it, and making it make noise.
- Korea:Breakdance:Beatboxing:Turntablism… Kickin’ the Pachebel Cannon OLD SCHOOL.
Oh, and Ripley and I are gonna go see K-OS.
WORD.
