Anchor vs Reporter
Hilarious. Watch all the way to the end. These two are incredibly unprofessional and immature.

Why I love New York
This is the Google calendar that a bunch of my friends and I add events around the city to. So much to do, so little time. The funny thing is that I'll probably just sit at home on my computer, but knowing there's stuff going on and that I have the option to do something is good enough.
EDIT: Blergh, I've changed the way my calendars are setup so this post doesn't make sense anymore.

NRNS DVD Progress
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to devote any time lately to working on the No Retreat No Surrender DVD. It's high up on my list of things to do but I've got some freelance projects I'm actually being paid for that I need to finish up first.

Back from SXSW
Earlier today I got back from the Interactive Festival at South by Southwest in Austin, TX. This year's festival was way larger than last year's and seemed to have been a little watered down. However, this keynote by Henry Jenkins, the Co-Director of the MIT Comparative Media Studies program, and Steven Johnson, a Distinguished Writer In Residence at NYU and author of Everything Bad Is Good For You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter is really fantastic. It's not overly technical so it might be of interest to some people who read this.

Autechre CSS
In the wake of the release of their new album, Quaristice, I took a look at Autechre's official website and their Myspace page.
The official site seems to be okay now but earlier it appeared to have some MySQL/PHP errors all over it. The catch was that they didn't appear to be real. In the midst of the "errors" there was a working link to another part of the page, albeit one that didn't provide much more information than the errors did.
The myspace page is still exactly how it was before and all I can say is that their web designer sure has a fun job and knows exactly how to get their web geek fans to fawn over them. The horrendous Myspace page is not only a great jab at the many many ugly Myspace pages that exist on the web, it's also the Myspace equivalent of Autechre's music. After poking around the code I found that it's done pretty cleverly using only CSS and this image. Bravo.
