Barack Obama on the cover of the Economist

Not that I can vote - not in this country - but as always, cannot deny that it’s time. For all that the US stands for, this is something the people here have to do.

True, it can also be McCain, which is also change but without taking any sides, Obama’s change has a significant contrast to the current state of things than McCain.

Looks like it is a screen made by Perceptive Pixel. Impressive

New Map for Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA

Notice that each street you see has small numbers next to it - these are the block numbers/ house numbers. So much more usable to figure out where the approximate address is just by looking at the map.

Nice touch.

Feed The Animals the new album by GirlTalk

Just heard this story on Here and Now about Greg Gillis, who has taken the art of sampling and remixes - if you will - to a brand new level with his new album Feed the Animals.

So what is new you ask? Well - the songs are basically  samples of popular songs mashed together - yes, ALL of them. Ok, you might call it stealing - but I feel that this is an artistic endeavor. It takes a really really good sense for anyone to put random music bits together and create something that is so refreshing and somewhat meaningful.

The thing that bugs people  is that the album is a ‘pay what you want for it, Radiohead type model’ , which, to be precise, means its free! I must admit I paid $1 for it - I usually go by the MB ≈  1¢/MB of music. I like a few songs - not the whole album - but it definitely shows what you can really create with SO much awesome music around.

Here is a MySpace link to the album. Hope you like it. Yeah, the band name is corny - GirlTalk!

OK.. on second thoughts, gimme one more day to study.
