Still look to this guy for much inspiration after all these years.

More stellar work coming from Wrangler Europe. The guy looks like a dead-wringer for Henrik Zetterberg.

We still have a ways to go. I’m finding the concept of “cloud” computing, or “cloud” services and applications, can be a difficult one for some people to wrap their heads around. Case-in-point: my wife. She is a tech-savvy girl—she has almost a decade on me with respect to mobile phone usage—yet she still insists on carrying USB memory sticks around in her purse, or in her pocket. Even worse, she will often rely on emailing important work files to herself. I’ve tried to turn her on to using Dropbox, but for some reason, she simply does not want to bother (even though the benefits have been made quite clear to her). I think we need a dead-simple explanation of the benefits of storing files online, on a remote machine, to turn-the-tide.
No matter how many external drive back-ups you have, or burned DVD’s—if your home, office, or studio burns down, or much more likely, gets burglarized, I think it’s a safe bet you’ll lose everything. Your data is 1000x more valuable than your new Macbook Pro and 1TB Lacie drives.

I’d been watching Coronation Street on CBC this evening, and I thought I’d share my own personal obsession with Manchester—music.
*Mind the horrid ad that Youtube (or rather, Google) feels it necessary to slop over your video. I’m sure these issues will be solved with HTML 5.

I wish music still had balls like this. The band is Funkadelic, the location is New York City, 1973. The song is “Cosmic Slop”. Sounds like just another silly 70’s track, right? Nothing about that could be farther from the truth (it’s exactly what I thought before I listened hard to the lyrics). The song is about a prostitute mother trying to raise several young kids in the ghetto. Potent stuff. Give it a serious listen.
Several of these guys went on to lead hard lives—with some harsh consequences. Regardless, they were total trailblazers—creating a genre of music, and influencing and helping to define several other future music movements (think: hip-hop). If you look hard enough, you’ll see a young George Clinton…
Free your mind, and your ass will follow.

Rip! is a Canadian documentary on the legalities of sampling, remixing, and mashing-up music in the digital age. It is an incredibly well-done piece of work, and we highly recommend anyone with even a remote interest in music to watch it. 5 stars.
