My Vienna
Our 91 year-old family friend texts on his Handy (cellphone) with the help of a magnifying glass.
Classic. I can only hope to be so with it, should I live to be 91.
Google Street Road Trip Footage
A lot of people have asked me how I created that background footage of Google Street View whizzing by in this most recent College Humor cartoon. The answer is simple: Hundreds and hundreds of Google Street screenshots. You’re probably wondering if that took a long time. Yes it did… and yet somehow I gathered even more “footage” than I ended up using. So instead of letting it go to waste, I made this fun little music video. Take us away, Chuck…

Yeah, I guess this looks pretty bad.Kings of Convenience - ‘What If Justin Timberlake…’ @ Paradiso Amsterdam, 11 October 2009
I get the feeling I missed out on something special.
This is kind of cool, as it refers to this post, although it’s what the Danes refer to as ‘self-spin’, an expression made up about the phenomenon of when the media analyse the media. Very post-modern indeed. Nothing personal Mr. Hepburn, hope you ventures are faring well.
Duffy vs. the Police - ‘Mercy for Roxanne’
Remarkable mashup.
Ever since unfollowing Sade, Ned Hepburn and one or two other folks, I can walk away from the tumblr and check back in two days later only to have to browse back a few pages to catch up. So good of all of you to not just post every fleeting thought you might have!
Yesterday, I bought a Mini-DVI to DVI cable, a DVI to HDMI cable and a 2-sided mini-jack cable. I can now connect my MacBook to my flatscreen TV. Ultimate nerd-dom: watching downloaded episodes of 30 Rock and Mad Men from my laptop, on a 32 inch screen. Worth every euro (there were 70 to be paid in total, so it hurt a little).
You MUST read this. It is by far my favorite thing ever written about the show.
I love reading scholarly articles about popular culture, and I really liked this one. But truth be told, I’ll read pretty much anything I can get my hands on if it’s Mad Men-related.
Does the article also deal with phenomenon that Hamm looks like a total dweeb when he doesn’t have his hair Drapered, and he wears normal people clothes?
Arctic Monkeys - ‘When The Sun Goes Down’ (live at Glastonbury)
My newestest addiction. I had been running to ‘I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor’ and ‘Brianstorm’ for quite a while, but when ‘Humbug’ came out I decided to check them out some more. Fuck are they good. And they are only 23 now. Alex Turner, the singer, has 3 Arctic Monkeys albums to his name and one with his side project, The Last Shadow Puppets. His song writing, singing, and guitar playing are exceptional too.
Did I mention I got tickets for their 11 november Amsterdam show?
