Warp 20
I should have posted this a while ago. http://www.warp20.net/ It’s a great bit of activity for Warp Records who are about to hit their 20th Anniversary – so they’re creating a user-generated compilation that’s going to feature the most…
The Most Exciting Blog Post That I’ve Not Managed to Understand in the Slightest
I think it’s stuff that can be done in processing in 140 characters. Which is really cool. But there’s something about this post that makes me feel really tiny and stupid. Which I am. Obviously.…
A Work of Brilliance
Dear Andy Whitlock, I love what you have done with these photographs from Campaign. I wish I had done this. You describe your work like this: Lots of ad-folk look very serious in their profile pictures in magazines like Campaign. I thought…
Is This Wabi-Sabi?
I’ve been moderately obsessed by the concept of Wabi-Sabi after seeing a documentary about it the other night. It’s far too complicated for me to understand or explain. In fact it seems to complicated for almost everyong to understand…
Easter 09 – Another One of Those Mixes
Sorry it’s been a while. This was done at the weekend when it was nice and sunny outside. Instead of trying to milk a goat, catch a leprechaun, make friends with my neighbours, learn the flute or anything else so exciting. Instead I popped…
Reactable / ImTable Performance
This has been around for a while but to my mind it’s one of the better ‘table’ performances I’ve seen. Again it’s all a bit cheesy and Jarre-like – but given the Tron suit he’s wearing I’m not sure he’d be offended by that
The Perils of Sponsorship

Things to do to escape your computer (or TV)
…hire a bike or roller skates or a boat. Please help by adding to this in the comments. Following on from this weekend’s activities. I’ve been thinking about what a great bunch of things Jason set me to do. All could be done with little…
Earning Eternal Respect In 48 Hours The Twitter Way
I had a fun weekend this weekend. Thanks to a number of things. 1. Weekends are good anyway. 2. The weather was pretty nice. 3. I did normal stuff with Sophie like have nice lunches. Laze around. Drink a bit of wine. Get some chores done…
The Making of Mr Oizo
Mr Oizo is probably best known for the whole Flat Eric thing. Which apparently as well as soundtracking he also directed, which was new news to me. Since then he’s made lots of banging electronic music. Most of which is just a little too…
Rave-Speak
I spotted these two posters on the way to work this morning. I just liked the way they’d turned over-used and cliched rave commands / MC chat into polite questions. It makes them sound so very British. And you know what, the nights are in…
Scott Wayne Indiana – Nice Web Art
Scott Wayne Indiana sent me a nice email and a couple of links to his sites. The first one is his photo a day project – http://coinop.tumblr.com/. I really like them. That’s one of them above. He also sent a link to 39 Forks which is a…
