I also saw my favorite artist perform the following cover. It's sick. But also you should check out his other stuff cause it's awesome.<br /><br />His band's name is Final Fantasy <br />his name is owen pallett.<br />Do it to it.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w5tXB-JaTuo&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w5tXB-JaTuo&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>Techtivist Design Collectivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02697202364296409931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701440526516793708.post-40383726279752598632008-02-24T08:28:00.000-08:002008-02-24T09:07:30.472-08:00Let's Kick it, til it BreaksSo I haven't updated in a while mainly because things have been really crazy. Real life kinds of crazy and not for on the web kinds of crazy.<br /><br />Baltimore is getting buck wild.<br />I'v been hearing a lot through the grape vine about a pirate radio station starting up and am really excited about that project. It's so amazing that for 150$-500$ you can broadcast an FM signal to your entire community. As a measure of resistance it's hard to beat.<br /><br />Other things have happened too. Cindy Crabb graced our industrial city for a week or so and that was really amazing. Filled with free desserts and automatons roaming the city setting fire to varying buildings.<br /><br />Today I'm interviewing with a family to hopefully be their nanny. I hope it works out.<br /><br />Be well,<br />M<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qDSvyef1JIQ&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qDSvyef1JIQ&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qDSvyef1JIQ&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qDSvyef1JIQ&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>Techtivist Design Collectivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02697202364296409931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701440526516793708.post-23261022499335452252008-01-30T00:50:00.000-08:002008-01-30T01:01:31.961-08:00Grambelstiltskini got my first letter at my new home today. It' was really invigorating.<br />Like remembering that you have feet. Or a Pulse.<br /><br />After dumpster diving for what felt like all day long I managed a meager score of 11 boxes of vegan fake pepperoni and vegan balogna....Gross<br />and an Onion. MMMM onion and bologna stir fry.<br /><br />4 separate dumpsters. I mean really that is ridiculous for America. How can i claim to be from a gluttonous wasteful place if i can't at a moments notice pull a weeks worth of food from the trash. I guess i could have taken home the plastic corn or the empty easter basket but wasn't feeling to inventive.<br /><br />Anyways after all of that I got a call from a friend...turns out theirs a Baltimore dumpstering collective because the best and greatest dumpsters are far far away, and only accessible via car. They bring the load in, everyone contributes a little for gas, and walla juice forever and some good produce and cheese for 20-30 people.<br /><br />Amazing.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ip7pLG_zmRM&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ip7pLG_zmRM&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>Techtivist Design Collectivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02697202364296409931noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701440526516793708.post-65112413053083005152008-01-28T20:53:00.001-08:002008-01-28T21:03:44.605-08:00crutchHis name is Bill Shannon.

While most people can't even begin to fathom the inner workings of infinite space these picture maintain a mental atmosphere of false recognition.<br /><br />But what about the visually impaired?<br />Well a book has been unveiled called Touch The Invisible Sky where Doris Dow in Braille describes the pictures taken from various satellites.<br />Also Doris is able to create tactile impressions of things as phenomenal as say the Sun.<br />I can't even imagine closing my eyes and feeling slight grooves on paper<br />and it clicking. OHHHHH thats what they mean when they say the sun.<br /><br />Regardless It's on my list of treasures to have. And It's free. I think. <br /><br />Oh and for those who dance.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WBbfH-g48Z4&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WBbfH-g48Z4&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>Techtivist Design Collectivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02697202364296409931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701440526516793708.post-80334826959658164402008-01-20T09:49:00.000-08:002008-01-20T10:01:19.390-08:00Guerilla Girls and Mad ScienceSo I'm finding myself starting over once again in Baltimore MD. A place that feels both welcoming and isolating. Things have been unfolding like Spring and clockwork. It was an accident really. I was supposed to be flying out of Baltimore and into Barcelona but a chronic illness seems to warrant a small stay in Baltimore.<br /><br />I'm moving into a giant warehouse artist's space today. It is both beautiful and rugged. It's potential unlimited. I'm thinking about building a dark room to facilitate screen printing projects and am working on building a camera obscura to reflect the greenmount cemetery into the warehouse.<br /><br />In a few months I will be back on track to Barcelona healthy in body and mind, but for now am excited about being intoxicated within a new city.<br /><br />To Baltimore,<br />Cheers.<br /><br />Also for those who dance have this<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Tf44gMh3CIs&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Tf44gMh3CIs&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>Techtivist Design Collectivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02697202364296409931noreply@blogger.com0
