There’s a terrific natural juice bar near my apartment which I hit almost every morning for breakfast. It’s not one of those chain shops where you wonder about the contents of your drink, this joint makes the real thing. We’re so freakin lucky to have places like this. The morning I filmed this quick vid [...]

Breakfast Of Champions
Posted in FOOD, Vlogs on August 31, 2005 | 2 Comments »
Pandora is going to be big. I got hooked within an hour of playing with it. It’s so good I discovered new music within the first hour of use and made the type of iTunes purchase I’ve been dreaming about forever. You know how when you’re listening to a tune on the radio and you [...]

I was chatting last night with another fan of architectural photography and recommended he check out the work of Liao Yusheng. I came across his work sometime last year. Dont miss his pics of the Kimbell Art Museum (Louis Kahn), the Auditorium Parco della Musica (Renzo Piano) and the China portfolio. UPDATE: I just noticed [...]

Anime Goes BitTorrent

It used to be that the great thing about the internet was that noone knew you were a dog. Today the great thing is anyone can distribute their content economically and easily, giving audiences the experience they desire, particularly with regard to media content. The New York Times reports ADV Films, the largest distributor of [...]
More RE The Film Experiment
Posted in 24x7 FILM EXPERIMENT on August 20, 2005 | Comments Off
While we’ve been working on a rough cut and sorting the details for the final collaborative vloggy shoots we’ve been posting several audio podcasts and one video podcast. Making the podcasts has been fun and a number of peeps have enquired re the names of everyone in the film. Given this small bit of curiosity [...]
Accidental Collaboration

The vlogger who created vlogmap.org using Google maps, Matt, got the marble rolling. Another vlogger, Anders, was inspired by Matt’s map work and produced a short video. Here’s Anders’ production, today’s video du jour (11mb quicktime .mov).
Google On A Point?
Posted in ECONOMICS & FINANCE on August 18, 2005 | Comments Off
Looks like Google have spotted something they desire, why else would they raise that sort of cash at this moment? Surely it’s not to stock the cafeteria with exotic mushrooms. Of course it could simply be a hedge against an expectation/uncertainty of slowing future revenues, however methinks it’s an acquisition, one that will reveal more [...]
Amanda and Julianne (podcast)
Posted in 24x7 FILM EXPERIMENT, PEEPS, Podcasts on August 13, 2005 | 2 Comments »
The day we filmed Amanda Congdon and Julianne Shepherd Rocketboom was having an interesting day, they had the what Rocketboom founder Andrew Baron says (I’m paraphrasing) was their most controversial episode. He said viewers came on subsequent days to see that episode more heavily than for almost all other episodes. The controversy had nothing to [...]
Music Metabolism
Posted in DISTRIBUTION, MUSIC on August 12, 2005 | Comments Off
Rags Gupta introduced me to a new term, music metabolism, via his blog the other day. Like many, for years I have been thinking about the behavioural aspects of and appetites for music consumption, I’m a bit embarrassed to never have thought to use the term metabolism. Music metabolism is the next big variable. In [...]
via: Chris Cagle As if to answer my complaints about the utter unavailability of avant-garde films on DVD, Kino has released a gorgeous 2-disc set of experimental films of the 20s and 30s, leaning toward the canonical European avant-garde but including some lesser-known American films as well. And in October, Anthology Film Archives will release [...]
Machinima Rules
Posted in REPORTAGE, VIDEO DU JOUR on August 10, 2005 | Comments Off
I got hooked via Red vs Blue. No, not red states and blue states, the machinima production by Rooster Teeth Productions. That was a while ago, and I’m still hooked. More recently I came across a nicely executed vid by a talented fellow who calls himself TheGhost, I post it here today as the video [...]
