Chromeo – Night By Night – With 83% More Dubstep
My friend Chris Baker was rocking some kickass tunes at the circus jam last night and one of them was this awesome little piece which has been stuck in my head for a good hour now. The bastard played it at the end of his set. Chromeo’s Night By Night […]
Heavy and Light 2009 Intro
I saw this a while back and it’s the simplest intro to any event I’ve ever seen but it’s the more powerful for it. It’s since been remixed and made awesomer. It’s really really worth watching. To Write Love On Her Arms is a charity dedicated to helping people get […]
October HDR Experiments
I’ve been meaning to shoot some HDR images for a while now, ever since I got some funky custom firmware for my camera that allows for such shenanigans and makes it easier. So finally I got out and shot some!
Mark Steyn – Contact Juggling
My friend Mark Steyn, an awesome contact juggler just posted this quick short of him doing a routine in London. Well worth a look!
Paper Lakes
I saw this project on thisiscolossal.com and I’m determined to make this into a piece to go on my wall. This is so simple and elegant and, frankly, amazing. All credit goes to thisiscolossal and crafterall for finding and making this!
Skiing in 2010
A friend of mine asked me for a particular photo that I shot while we were in Austria last year, skiing. I love going over my old work and rediscovering the gems! Brings back awesome memories, that’s for sure. If you want to see more of my work, head on […]
Game Addiction
I’ve been following the escapades (you’ll see the pun momentarily) of ExtraCreditz for some time now. They’ve been posting hugely informative videos about all kinds of aspects of gaming that aren’t often coveredby mainstream gaming media. Unfortunately, The Escapist decided they’d screw them over after Alison, their animator injured her […]
Carbon Nanotubes in the 17th Century
This is a copy of an article I came across while looking at swordsmithing on Wikipedia and I made a fascinating discovery – nanotubes have been around and in use for much longer than we realise! Science is awesome! Carbon nanotubes are no longer the proud boast of 21st century materials […]
Solitude Mixes
My friend Tina pointed me at this rather incredible DJ who periodically makes very chilled dubstep-y mixes. The mixes are over an hour and a half long and they flow from incredibly chilled to energetic without being in-your-face like a lot of dubstep is. To me, the difference between full-on […]
September Music and Design Roundup
I have a whole bunch of things to share this time around. I’ve been largely ignoring this blog, except as a glorified link dump. Which has worked surprisingly well, actually! So today, I have not only music, but awesome miscellanea to share with the Internets. The first thing is Welder’s […]
Life Advice
A friend of mine linked this article on Facebook. I read it and lo, I beheld that it was wise and good. More than that, it mirrored the changes that took place in my own head over the last 3-4 years. I’m equal parts happy that this advice is out […]
Cocorosie – Werewolf
I heard this tune at about 9am at Burning Man across from our camp. It drew me out of my yurt and got me spinning my poi and the guy playing it was kind enough to restart it when I asked him what it was! CocoRosie – Werewolf (Omega Remix) […]
