Just like when you fold a piece in paper in two so many times that it just disappears into a tiny parallel dimension.

Half of the times i say i'm reading a book, i'm actually reading comics.

When in doubt...

Sometime in august 2007.
I'll post a newer one, one of these days.

The webmaster loves his parents.

Lunchtime, yesterday.
My Father: I gave the cat a gigantic chicken wing, did he eat it?
My Mother: Yep, gobbled it up. I'm surprised he left the bone.
My Father: Well, that means your cooking must be improving.

David Byrne's Survival Strategies for Emerging Artists — and Megastars

I've kept a tab this in an open tab for over two months, marked for "immediate reading". I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. All i know it's David Byrne, writing about new models for musical distribution. Which is more than worth a read.
Go along now and read it before i do.

Attention Italian Music Lovers

New Elio e le Storie Tese single/video:



New album on the 20th of February, sold mostly in unconventional places (newsagents and internets. Ok, record shops too).


Which is one of the reasons i haven't been able to keep up with my one-post-per-day project: work got in the way.
I don't usually post too much about work here on the blog, mainly because it would feel like selling out in a "have a look at the cool stuff i get paid for making you look at" way. But lately i've found myself in the unexpected position of working on projects so innovative and stimulating that i spend most of my time thinking about them even when i'm not working, and am just as surprised about how this actually feels quite good.
And of course when i say i'm "working on the projects" it goes without saying that my position in the project is slightly lower than "janitor's clumsy helper".

Another reason i haven't been posting is that in my previous post i broke one of the golden rules of blogging regularly: never announce a post for later that day, because if you do you'll be jinxed and will be lucky if you post again that month.
