’scuse me while I kiss the sky…
No it’s not purple haze. I just have some new photos up and thought it was a nice cliché way to announce it, seeing as how I’ve been all Hendrix-y lately. Careful with the photos. They’re bigger than usual in both dimension, and filesize (around 60k). I only hope [...]

think pink

August 29th, 2001 · No Comments

HAave I mentioned how much I like pink lately? It’s fast become my favorite weblog. Jo is intelligent, witty, and she᾿s a word freak. What more could you ask for? Well, pictograms of course! But dammit, she’s got them too!

anger fading, rage subsiding

My earlier outburst was due to stress brought on by browser wrangling.
Just when you think you have a handle on things, and your life in order, you wind up naked in times square, with tinfoil on your head, waiting for aliens to pick you up and whisk you to a land where browsers all render [...]

film preservation

August 28th, 2001 · No Comments

One of my favourite movies has to be His Girl Friday. Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell are amazing in this fast paced, Howard Hawks classic. It’s a shame they don’t make films like this anymore; or actors like this.

This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. For the next [insert random number of days, hours, minutes, seconds], we will be conducting a multitude of tests on the system. If this were an actual emergency, you would have been instructed to kiss your ass good-bye. Then again, maybe not. Timing is everything.
We are [...]

no loss

August 26th, 2001 · No Comments

Lossless digital music? I’m skeptical, and still trying to figure out why they’re using another format to do this. If the files are that big, leave it as a .wav file for chrissakes. I love this quote:
’If you trade a CD-R’s from MP3 audio, you are polluting the CD-R trading community.’
It stinks of audiophile snobbery.

internet telethons

I see where FlareSOUND is going with this, and it’s the same with a few others as well.
The problem I see with subscriptions (there’s talk of it in this forum) to interent radio is, that like standard radio, I like to switch stations occasionally, and at around $60 a year, it becomes rather ridiculous for [...]

paul is dead

August 26th, 2001 · 1 Comment

The start of tonight’s journey begins with what seems to be a fairly comprehensive look at the myth/hoax/reality surrounding the whole Paul Is Dead thing. The facts and clues on the Sgt. Pepper’s album alone give me chills. If you look at it all from start to finish, it’s pretty impressive and makes you stop [...]

who am I

Ninjai is impressive, and even though everyone seems to be linking it, it’s too good not to link to. [via mefi]
Oh, and I actually like the kids voice, contrary to other opinions.
