Through a strange twist of fate I find myself in London’s Hammersmith Palais at the NME Awards After party. Lots people dancing and generally having a laugh. Apparently the real party is at some hotel down the road, I’m heading there.
…from my mobile
I was really happy to find that Kosso is again writing in his new Kosso’s Braingarden Wordpress blog [Hehe - Snap!] and really currious about his treedia.com site. Not sure how you get an account but I’d love one! He posted a few days ago about a demo of this amazing touchscreen that featured on YouTube. This is quite honestly the coolest thing I’ve seen in ages. Also very blown away.
I’m sure that if my buddy Toby a.k.a *spark could use this in one of his sets he would cause even more sensational club night visuals. Looks like he’s just cut a brand new showreel which brings together some of his best work all to a kick ass tune. Hey and its ipod friendly…very modern. I spent many a night shift with Toby when we both worked at the Creature Shop learning about his adventures in vjland. He’s one of the original guys behind AVIT, a truely global VJ festival. This video really caught my imagination when I first saw it. A MUST see.
And by the way how great is YouTube?
After an incubation period with Blogger of nearly 9 months, the dcinput blog has moved to Wordpress. Though Blogger has served me well, making it possible for me to take my blogging babysteps with relative ease, I decided that the added functionality of Wordpress together with the needs of some future projects, have justified the effort of porting everything over. Many thanks to Ali McClymont who is now hosting the site and who spent the time this evening to help make it possible in a marathon Skype session. I’m pretty excited about all the things that will be possible. I still need to update some things so bear with me.
Here is a link to an article on Boing Boing today about Songbird, a desktop media player that offers an open source alternative to services like Apple’s iTunes and the Windows Media Player. Built on the same platform as Firefox it will allow to download from anywhere over the net…finally a way to break free from that walled garden that Apple have been so cleverly building, much to the ignorance of the music listeing world. Bravo.
