I realise everyone on the planet is focused on the ongoing Bear debacle and gossip re insolvent financial institutions about to be outed, with biofuels way down the list of topics at dinner tables in most NYC restaurants tonight. But this is a much bigger deal in the long run so I’m posting against the [...]
Enjoyed reading this Andreas Trolf interview with Mark Mothersbaugh. Trolf begins: We got to the Scion Installation gallery late in the afternoon after getting seriously lost in the maze of Southern California industrial backwaters. The gallery sits inconspicuously on a residential street in Culver City, itself another in the list of inconspicuous Los Angeles sub-divisions, [...]
I’m home in NYC tonight. The weather is freezing. Staying in tonight and listening to warm music, starting with Ivete Sangalo. Just tried out the Amazon album downloader for the first time, feels good not to be downloading drm’d tunes from iTunes.

If you haven’t seen Jeff Han’s implementation of multi-touch yet, well, here’s your opportunity: Here’s another. Being able to use both hands and multiple fingers is much more natural than having a mouse or touching with one finger like at the ATM.

We did our iCollaborated shoot with Jakob Lodwick (of CollegeHumor.com fame) and James Hong (of HotOrNot.com fame) over breakfast. Jakob and James, BTW, are famous for other things beyond the websites they and their colleagues built, but that’s for another day ;) And in addition to College Humor Jakob has another project, Vimeo, which is [...]
There’s a terrific interview with Richard Linklater in Filmmaker Magazine about the making of Philip K. Dick’s A Scanner Darkly along with a few of the cool rotoscoped images. Linklater: Dick wrote this paranoid future, and my premise with the movie was that we are living in science fiction now. This is the paranoid future. [...]
