Listening Party

Filed under: Music, Personal by Tim @ 6:56 pm

Death Cab For Cutie (shivers and tingles)
Dandy Warhols (’cause sometimes the ’80s need to happen all over again)
The Streets (don’t try to define it, just listen)
Le Tigre (leftist, feminist, dyke, dance…what’s not to like?)

I Feel Lonely and Cold

Filed under: Personal, Science by Tim @ 11:54 am

Something about the thought of an experimental spacecraft - with delicate sails designed to harness an interstellar ‘wind’ of light particles - being lost out there somewhere makes me feel lonely and cold.

CNN article

CNN also makes me feel lonely and cold. If you’re the same, here’s the same story from BetaNews.

From Blown Speakers

Filed under: Music by Tim @ 7:37 pm

When the contact high
from the real life adventures wear off,
you find, in the tiny moments that bomb, your old files rain down from the sky.

And would they fall down,
like cymbal crashes, would the alarm bell sound?
Would your eyelashes keep all this in time?
If not, I won’t mind…

it can be impractical.
it can be impractical

So can you tell me
why in every version of the events shown here,
theres another season that crawls by like years,
from blown speakers clear?

It came out magical.
it came out magical.

Just a contact high,
one in every mood I’ve ever declined to fight,
one in every single exchange you might find.
From blown speakers,
time came out magical

It came out magical, out from blown speakers
it came out magical, out from blown speakers

-The New Pornographers

I work for a company who has partnered with Convio from time to time, and this is a really new story. For now, I’ll let AmericaBlog do the talking.
