Upon a cursory glance, building games for the iPhone would be a designers dream. The screen is huge (for a phone), the device is powerful, and then there’s those awesome touchscreen and accelerometer interfaces you get to work with. It doesn’t take long to realize that the novelty of the iPhones interface wears of quickly [...]
Geek Entertainment TV is certainly no stranger to the world of nerdcore hip-hop, but now they’ve finally posted their SouthBySouthWest interview with the godfather of nerdcore; MC Frontalot.
In related news, MC Slutsky and I will be performing at Laughing Squid’s “Lucky 13” party at CELLspace on May 31st. I’ll be doing a few songs off [...]
I posted 3 new auctions to eBay this morning:
Rare Casio DM-100. Circuit bent by Highly Liquid, who also added a midi in. I’ve used this funky beast on several songs, including MC Frontalot’s Pr0n S0ng and several tracks on Me Geek Pretty One Day.
Nudie Jeans, “Straight Sven”. These are brand new, with tags. Size 29″ [...]
Have you seen the advertising for Disney’s new Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian? It’s hard to miss, especially in our neighborhood. Movie banners are everywhere, including on the sides of MUNI buses.
I love the unfortunate awesome placement of one of the buses yellow reflectors over Prince Caspian’s face. Imagine this evil eye blinking on [...]
Man, I’m getting really hyped about going to the Missouri State Yo-Yo Contest next weekend. I’m looking forward to seeing old friends, learning new yo-yo tricks, but most of all, I’m looking forward to hanging out at the City Museum… The most dangerous children’s park in the Midwest!
Seriously, I love the City Museum. The highlight [...]
For as long as I’ve been a San Francisco resident, I’ve been infatuated with the ominous structure on the corner of Mission and 15th St. Resembling a Moorish Castle, San Francisco’s Armory is important piece of the cities history. Built in 1912, as a replacement for another armory that was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, [...]
I was very lucky to have seen Scott McCloud’s presentation at Google last year with my friend Jason Shiga. During Scott’s 50 state tour of the US, his daughters Sky and Winter McCloud, produced a series of video blogs and interviews (called “Winterviews“). Sky was the camera girl/editor, while Winter was the “on air talent”. [...]
This may be the first of a new form of internet piracy. Darren Di Lieto, of Apefluff and The Little Chimp Society, has recently written about a new book called “Colorful Illustrations 93°C” that illegally reprints the art of dozens of well known illustrators. Furthermore, it appears that the bulk of the book’s content is [...]
For the next week, $2 of every album that I sell will be donated to the marvelous 826 National. 826, a nonprofit founded by Dave Eggers and his McSweeney’s cronies, is dedicated to teaching creative writing, screenwriting, publishing, ESL, and numerous other classes to students. I have been volunteering at the 826 Valencia (also known [...]
I’ve added another song to TheSixtyOne called “Skype Lyfe” which is, of course, one of the songs off of my new album Me Geek Pretty One Day. This is the only song I’ve done with MC Router, and it all started off as her idea. She originally asked me to make her a beat using [...]
