the CPC is podcasting

The Conservative Party of Canada is podcasting its speeches and videos. No link because I find the party’s platform despicable. That is all.

late thought

just woke up very early on a sunday morning/night, listened to Accident Hash, and realized that the rain was coming in from my window. it was creating a huge puddle that slowly crept towards my computer desk. glad i caught it. you know, i think odeo would do great in adding personalized forums for each [...]

if i were to get a corporate tattoo...

(which i categorically will not), it would probably be an apple logo. right now i’m a tool like that, although still not enough of a total jive turkey to do actually go through with it. having already been through the whole gamut of emotions related to impulse tattooing, i know the cycle, and the drill, [...]

gazette article transcription

yeah, so i decided i would transcribe the article for archiving purposes and to make it available to the online public. this was originally published on august 18th, 2005, page d8 in the Montreal Gazette (Urban Life page). having spent many bored sundays in my youth learning to type, this only took me a little [...]

ioyh iMix

i created an iMix which is available on the iTunes Music Store to check out quick links to songs i’ve played. you can check it out here. keep in mind this is very preliminary because, although i buy tracks from the store regularly, i usually convert them to mp3 to get rid of the DRM [...]

how to be creative

i was going through my old blog posts (pre podcasting), and found that i blogged this last year. it’s still worth reading. click the funnies.

nova's elegant universe

i just spent three hours watching this program. it was phenomenal, especially considering that last night i wasted two hours of my life reading online internet/podcasting forums – so the average has now been raised to a manageable level of productivity. i’d also like to applaud PBS for the availability of captions on its web-based [...]

bike bottleneck

yup, so i spent the day looking throughout bike shops in the city and found very little. this, after i bent the frame of my current bike completely out of shape in an idiotic accident a few weeks ago (and yes, i’m fine). anyway, i’m still looking. until then, i’m walking a lot, which means [...]

g5 for powerbook?

so i’m in the market for a powerbook. i’m thinking i want to do a simple trade even though i know i’ll be losing on power, because i don’t really want to spend any cash. my current iMac G5 is 1.6Ghz and has 1.25Ghz of RAM. is anyone reading this in a similar position that [...]

Hip Hop Set #1

I’ve been working on a mixtape-type hiphop set since the last show, so I present that to you now. It’s not genius but it’s a lot of good, independent tracks, mixed fairly well by someone who’s just starting out doing this sort of thing. Let me know what you think. Click here to listen. You [...]

ioyh 57 - golden mask, teargas and plateglass, blueprint

yo yo. it’s been recommended to me that i set these blog entries up so that the titles are the same as the id3 stuff you see on your mp3 player, so i’m going to try to do that now. thanks to justin in SF for this, and to ‘cavecook’ for telling me that my [...]
