god save the interweb

i still feel that the net is coming out of its incubation to really find its legs with regards to its power and potential. at least, for the things i enjoy, it seems to be blossoming.

i listen to lectures from stanford university on my ipod. they're brilliant. This is what an ipod was built for - CHOICE. a univerally accessible media outlet, combined with a global, instant public. podcast-wise, i'm still just a consumer. blogging is still a task, at times. vlogging or podcasting would require a staff.

right now, i'm happy to be a consumer of this 'new' wave:

feeling music? WHAM (by george, i think he's got it! - check the shirt).

feeling studious? podcast that stanford lecture on shakespeare, american foreign policy, happiness, or scientific breakthroughs.

want to see my friend's art? When i do, I head on over to sweet lou's site here and see what he's got cooking.

or i spend some time at jumping joel's site here (sorry, sweet joel just doesn't sound right, although it's true).

or i can check out some good times at all day breakfast, where i can combine crafty chris mccawley with jumping joel. my people are all over the net. way to spread the seed boyos!

i have been spending a lot of work hours HERE, finally getting through to some people and making headway on obtaining my British citizenship. took forever, but my passport is getting closer.

whenever i want to look into something, explore it a little more thoroughly, i head over to wikipidea. it's a great concept, with even better results. My land, my dad , and my current job.

good job, interweb!

i get most of my new music from here. the site is run by a girl in New York, so there's a disproportionate amount of songs that are 'girly', (sorry to use the term) but she seems very plugged in to the NY very-very indie music scene (ie live footage from a concert of someone that's awesome, who doesn't have a record), she scours myspace for songs and the MP3's are free, and they're free, and they're free.

of my current rotation of songs, most are from you ain't no picasso (hence the matisse painting that kicks off this post).

If it's a daily dose of basketball reading you need, even in the summer, when other outlets let you down, go and bookmark the links, here. (and also note that the banner was done by the aforementioned sweet lou, at www.louiscohen.ca). the links is really well read, by industry types and professional players, and geeks like me.

well, it's 3 o'clock, my day at work is done, so I'll leave you with this mobius strip —ENJOY!
