This first video gives exciting perspective on the kinds of projects that have sprung up on the web from nothing but love, turning into massively connecting hubs because of the equal access aspects of the internet`s design. The second video is an interview with the founder of it all, Tim Berners Lee, which gives a [...]
Desktop is Keith Thompson from Electric Six and Zach Curd from The Pop Project.
Desktop is unlike Curd’s and Thompson’s other projects, meeting somewhere between Stevie Wonder, New Order and 80s Detroit techno. Thompson’s thick and driving bass lines and Curd’s rich, reverb-drenched harmonies stand out as highlights of their debut self-titled EP. The EP was [...]
Here, in vlog form, is a truly great bit of internet enthusiam, hilarity, and inspiration which arrived in my life tonight just in time for me to mello out the dwindling end of a long work-on-the-internet weekend with a dose of happy and hell yeah. Thank you, Gary Busey and Internet, and John Green.

On the surface, QL is a TV-show about 20-something artsy-types living in California, figuring out “who they are.” The main character is a blogger/aspiring writer/unconventionally beautiful and incredibly [...]
I just got back from Gilberto Gil’s second event here in Montreal, a kind of curated discussion between the Brazilian Culture Minister and Tropicalismo musical innovator and rebel Gil, the Digital Policy Coordinator Claudio Prado (sweetly anarchic and kind), and four academics and activists implicated in digital media.
Gilberto Gil, and Brazil as a whole, [...]
I am currently blogging, live from my bedroom. I just refrained from using a lot of exclamation points, but the deal is, I haven’t had the internet since July, when I moved here, out of lack of money and time to get it connected. I’m going to go straight up and say it, I’m impressed [...]
We promised more coverage…careful what you wish for people. “Field Notes” from the Team, a.k.a Tessa and her crew.
On Thursday, David Byrne spoke at the Future of Music Summit with his touring manager (who answered some questions at the end). Byrnes had prepared a Powerpoint presentation with piecharts and graphs that were mostly useful visual [...]
