Gin, Television, and Social Surplus – Clay Shirky video

I’ve been waiting for this video to come out for a few days now. This talk is pretty amazing, required viewing for anyone interested in the accelerating evolution of culture or just 21st culture in general. He’s speaking of the concept of a “cognitive surplus”; essentially that when we are introduced to new technology that [...]

Obama is responsible for the time I peed on the side of the WTC

My eyes are tired of rolling. You can only roll them so much before it stops being subconscious and you start feeling the burn. It’s kind of a workout, not just for my eyes but for my exasperation.

Kristol wuvs Hillary

Can there be any doubt that the current conservative love-fest for Hillary is a deliberate ploy to get the weaker candidate to take the nomination?

GTA IV

Dude. From the Game Informer review of Grand Theft Auto 4: I now know how film critics felt after screening “The Godfather.” It’s been days since Grand Theft Auto IV’s credits rolled, yet I can’t seem to construct a coherent thought without my mind wandering off into a daydream about the game. I just want [...]

Phase Artifacts

So, I’m currently mastering a track which, if you have any experience, you know can be an insane adventure. I’ve been mastering my own tracks for a couple years, but I’m only now attempting to learn how it actually works (got me a book an’ everythin’!). I recently downloaded a demo of Izotope Ozone which [...]
