If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger,<br>There'd Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats: The Art of Travel #21

by karlcow

"And, of course, that is what all of this is - all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs - that song, endlesly reincarnated - born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 - same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness." -- Nick Tosches, Where Dead Voices Gather

i will work for vitamin C

by blackgoldfish
About 10 years ago, I remember going to work with a raging cold. It was the latest in a series of weird little illnesses I'd picked up over the two previous years. 'I have no idea what's wrong with me,' I remember lamenting to my boss, Mike. 'I'm generally healthy as a horse.' 'Oh please, Karen,' said Mike. 'You haven't noticed how you always get ill when you're stressed? I can almost predict the day you're going to come down with something, just by looking at your workload.' I remember being incredibly shocked by this, and vehemently denying it ... until I realized he was right. And you'd think by now I'd learn to stock up on vitamins during stressful times, but that would require logic and planning on my part, wouldn't it ... ... anyway, as I type this, I'm lying in bed, full of one of Marcus' fabulous seafood stews, and about to take a good swig of Nyquil. And yes, while my current state is indicative of what I've been facing at work, the truth is that today I took the first of many steps toward alleviating my stress. And it was a big first step, too. So even though I feel like hammered dog shit, the good thing is that I feel like very happy, very content hammered dog shit. You know, in a manner of speaking.

Microsoft Spins Legal Defeat into PR Fool`s Gold

by ericpaul
"If you didn't know what was really behind Microsoft's open standards and source promises, it might sound like Microsoft was making real changes. You've got to give Microsoft credit for gall. They take a crunching defeat at the hands of the European Union court system for trying to conceal information and now that the court has forced them to reveal that same information, Microsoft is all about increasing "the openness of its products and drive greater interoperability, opportunity and choice for developers, partners, customers and competitors." Urgh. Excuse me. I feel a little ill." - Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols

Anti-Grain Geometry - Texts Rasterization Exposures

by night.kame & 3 others (via)

It looks like Microsoft API is a huge set of ill-considered random ad-hoc solutions, with no engineering culture and no any common idea behind.

N'est-ce pas là une conséquence directe du processus de recrutement de Microsoft, qui a tendance à privilégier les bricoleurs de génie ?

Toy Crane

by Metrotek
A huge, operative, wooden toy crane that was designed and built as part of a program where wooden toys were constructed for the terminally ill children of Doernbecher's Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon. It was built using waste materials from a furniture and cabinet manufacturing process rather than have it go in a land fill or somewhere else inappropriate.

The Antique Cannabis Book

For the last century or so this remarkable plant has been a "controlled" substance, but this online compendium has a lot to tell about the natural medicine that only seems to make Big Pharma and government social engineers "ill". Hooray for history!

15 Risks of Blogging

by blogsir 1 comment
(1) You risk being laughed at, mocked, and flamed...in front of your customers, clients, and colleagues. (2) You risk looking stupid, by blurting out something that you later deeply regret. (3) You risk looking biased and ill-bred, by saying something harsh and provocative, without getting all the facts first. (4) You risk being too zealous, and sounding rash, overly emotional, or narrow-minded. (5) You risk turning RSS subscribers into unsubscribers. (6) You risk losing potential clients. (7) You risk saying some random thing that horrifies and enrages your boss, your best friend, or your biggest client. (8) You risk accidentally hurting someone's feelings. (9) You risk being misinterpreted. (10) You risk alienating other people, the non-bloggers, who increasingly compare unfavorably with the vastly more interesting blogosphere, by being visibly bored and distracted in their presence. (11) You risk alienating other people, as you respond like a scientist to any query..... (12) You risk getting sued, hacked, or swarmed with spambot droppings. (13) You risk getting linked to by a sleazy site. (14) You risk being stalked, threatened, physically attacked. (15) You risk your life and freedom in some countries.

NEBULO -Hymen-records 2008

by nebulo & 1 other
¥768 nebulo. avutma. cd. september2k8 tracklist: lactoz pill *.mp3 liminal *.mp3 p *.mp3 evice / revengine *.mp3 accident *.mp3 stramir *.mp3 kido / pause *.mp3 substeel animal *.mp3 limbes / coton-poudre *.mp3 videogamma *.mp3 trembledoux / varia p *.mp3 sirenavutma *.mp3 avutma is the latest release by nebulo after the album kolia, two remixes for architect and hecq, and even freely available nebulo ringtones. the outstanding french artist thomas p. with this cd has created a closed opus that might be seen as a concept album in which the listener has to decide what the concept is. nebulo's subtle approach forms a complex fictitious scenery by using seemingly minimal resources that are more visible than ever. electronically treated instruments like organ and piano, combined with synth layers and modified beats generate tempers that range from surreal to melancholic or even nearly frightening. listening to 'avutma' is like walking in a dimly lit basement never knowing what's behind the next curve, and who or what is actually casting these shadows on the walls... nebulo's trademark, a connection between ambience, idm, clicks'n'cuts and post-musique-concrète collages is presented here once again. as a reviewer wrote: "surreal dreamscapes painted with tears and sometimes even blood" - avutma might be the soundtrack of today's grand guignol. nebulo discography 09.2k8: kolia. cd. hymen records ¥753. 2006 avutma. cd. hymen records ¥768. 2008 nebulo websites: www.myspace.com/nebulo www.virb.com/nebulo nebulo. kolia. cd. hymen records ¥753 tracklisting: 1. ant, 2. automnal, 3. dr-ill, 4. darkopale, 5. wen, 6. reverse, 7. mecaniduction, 8. klik me, 9. nebula, 10. siapese, 11. nokta, 12. mecalangue (remix by alix), 13. darkopale (remix by ginormous) biographical note: french composer thomas p. (age 25) started as a visual artist. he studied at two art schools and as a visual artist he sees himself more as a 'graphic illustrator' than as a painter. now he has decided to work seriously as a musician. his attendance of electro acoustic composition courses at the bordeaux conservatoire radically changed his musical point of view. of course he knew of artists such as the aphex twin but the classes introduced him to the academic world of musical avant-gardism. prior to these classed he would have called this music 'just noise'. thomas received his degree in 2005 when he completed his composition, 'mecalangue'. however, he has to finish two more compositions to finally get his diploma. music is also his daytime job as he works for a sound design agency. he creates sounds for different types of media (such as radio, software or web pages). eventually he hopes to be able to compose film soundtracks - especially since his interests are still in visual arts. thomas's early musical influences range from erik satie and beethoven to serge gainsbourg and the beatles. when he was 18, he discovered aphex twin, amon tobin and squarepusher - which turned him on to electronic music. at the age of 19 he started to make own music with a 4-track recorder and later with a computer. as an open-minded listener he also likes other styles - from post-rock to triphop to breakcore. his interests in movies and literature are, as he describes it 'a dark aesthetic': david lynch, david cronenberg, stanley kubrick, h.p. lovecraft, william s. burroughs, e.a. poe, franz kafka and more. working as a musician, thomas sees himself more as a 'composer' than as a 'performer'. his aim is to create music that elicits strong feelings and makes the listener's mind travel inside imaginary landscapes. on the other hand, he wants to keep his music outside the academic ivory tower - so he uses beats or memorable melodies within his compositions. listening to nebulo should be like experiencing a story - that is, both sweet, melancholic and violent. 'kolia' shows thomas's skills in the creation of moods - electronica as a skeletal structure, enriched with a large variety of rhythmic patterns; from slow downtempo beats to fast breaks. chords and harmonies make sure that the tunes are recognizable and unique. finally, the economical usage of samples in the musique concrete tradition complete nebulo's concept perfectly. this might be europe's response to well acknowledged acts like lusine icl or the late gridlock. especially if their sound was melted with the deep red flavour of an old bordeaux wine and the playfulness of french tin toys. nebulo website: www.myspace.com/nebulo hymen records · p.o. box 1257 · 93135 lappersdorf · germany info@hymen-records.com · www.hymen-records.com · www.myspace.com/hymenrecords
