I am moving again,
This time to my site, my real site.
Bye bye anonymity.
My 5 subscribers on Reader,
Update,
Your subscriptions....Please.
The few who blogroll me,
Update the link when you can.
Nothing I write is quite that important.
Moreover, I still haven't placed adwords on my blog yet.
For those of you still reluctant,
and just fed-up of these moves
my new blog has a real journal like post.
not just that usual link and video and someone else's words.
read it today.
and do comment without needing to register on this stupid site.
Ala Ebtekar continues to impress.
Attended the book release event at the San Francisco Center for the Book with gheehappy, pardonmyhindi and lunaspace.
PMH blogs about it here. What he doesn't mention is that Gheehappy walked up to Michael Bartalos (More about him another time because he deserves his own post, fansite and more) and said that he thought he was dead. This when Bartalos was very alive and in fact among other things had completed some amazing work for the California Academy of Sciences.
p.s. If you have the cash, support Ala and the Center by buying the imprint here. It beats buying another one of these.
What a wonderful photograph! HOPE!
It's not often that you listen to a song on the radio, love it, buy it and then find out there's a whole story behind it!
From Wikipedia:
"The explicit eroticism of the song was declared offensive at the time of its release. The lyrics are commonly thought to refer to the taboo theme of engaging in sex without love, and were delivered in a breathy, suggestive style.
This interpretation of the song as basic "soft porn" is, however, a misconception. For all who've some knowledge of Gainsbourg, here we find—as in all his work, always profoundly cerebral—the note of desperation, of angst (all in casual disguise) which has been at the core of his best work. One key line is precisely: "L'amour physique est sans issue" ("Physical love is a dead end"), which could only be singled out by someone speaking French—and even then only by "intellectuals".
The song culminates in simulated orgasm sounds by Birkin: mostly because of this, it was banned from radio play in Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and the UK, and denounced by the Vatican in a public statement."
The show was amazing. Thom Yorke's vocals just blew me away. And the band was flawless. It's interesting to listen to music that's so personal in a concert setting with 50,000 people.
I think many have said that the iPhone just completely changes how people interact with computing devices. I think this is a great example:

On a recent night, a quick look at the Top 20 Viral Videos on the internet revealed that we find cats more interesting.
Recent cat videos of interest:
A select few of my family know that I like to dance. And a select few of my friends know that I like ABDC on MTV. But none of you know, until now, that I love this music video.
Enjoy!
