Tuesday, June 15th, 2004Jared Buckhiester Art Drawings, Photography and T-Shirts. Not sure would I presently fork out $84 for a T-Shirt. I’d consider it if it was a really good one and a rare one. His art has been described as slightly homoerotic.
For those too lazy to search for an answer.
The Naropa University online audio arhcive. This includes Ginsberg doing a reading of Howl. Has lots of William S. Burroughs lectures and talks too. Interesting stuff.

Signal Orange – anti Iraq war site. Well not so much anti but a way to highlight the total disregard to life that the Bush administration has for their own soldiers. It’s a good idea. Get a cause noticed by wearing bright orange t-shirts which are highly visible. Get everyone to turn up at any and all events where theres press coverage. Before long people will know what the t-shirts represent. This could be done in Ireland for some other campaign…
Powdered Alcohol. Not taxed in America either. So many applications…
Art of Maggie Taylor. Using a scanner and photo editing software. Some good work.
Carvel
Friday, June 11th, 2004When I try I force it out
Never looking in only out
Now is the time for millions to lose
Never the same since I lost you
Running me out of town
Wishing the best around
Would only get you off my back
Heaven receives you and throws you back
Sending a dummy to my God
Driving to eat a Carvel cake
Somewhere you know isn’t where you think
Have you gone away already
All the good things are on their way
Up and down that’s how energy stays alive
And I wouldn’t have it any other way

Friday, June 11th, 2004Shadows Collide with People
Friday, June 11th, 2004From here.: John Frusciante’s fourth solo album, Shadows Collide with People, is a scatterbrained, eclectic tour de force and a joy to listen to. His guitar work, so sharp and funky for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, mellows for his solo work, and to beautiful effect. Frusciante gets experimental, as he has on his last three solo albums, but this time it really works. This album, though encompassing a wide variety of styles and genres, is ultimately rock music made very, very prettily.
I totally agree. This is an undiscovered gem of a record. I really really like it and has the best opening song on an album that I’ve heard in a while.

This L.E.D. Mirror is available from Suck for the very reasonable sum of £300. There’s some lovely stuff available from them. I might just buy on of their t-shirts. Always nice to walk around with a T-Shirt that has “SUCK” on it.

Not getting Broody but these are some really nice baby chairs.
Air Texting. Walking to Run…
Tuesday, June 1st, 2004
The new Nokia 3220 phone has some fine funky features. Air Texting allows you to type in a message and as you wave your phone back and forth it spells out the message with L.E.D.s on the back of the phone.
The phone also has motion sensors and vibration settings to allow you to have more fun playing games. I guess force feedback is one feature and tilting your phone will move avatars in games. One person commenting on this news was guessing there’d be some interesting hacks for this. I look forward to seeing them.
Found a link on Donncha’s site about a good way to start running called the Couch to 5k running plan. You start off walking and then you run a bit then walk then run. Within 2 months you should be able to run about 3 miles without killing yourself. This was the plan I’ve been looking for to get myself fit.
