Open source movement and evolution

A bunch of us got together the other day at Laika in order to discuss common threads in the open source movement. Incredible blog posts (1, 2, 3) and vlogs (1, 2) have come out of it. This is my longwinded, probably incoherent, overdue response. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Direct link (22 [...]

Adidas understanding graffiti culture

From Wooster Collective, an ingenious ad campaign that understands street art culture: Allowing (mostly) billboards to be tagged freely, and then incorporating those tags onto the following billboard’s design. I am so impressed. I wish I had come up with this. Of all the recent street campaigns we’ve seen lately, this is our favorite one [...]

Montreal flashmob(s) reminiscing

Reminiscing today about flashmobs we worked (pretty damn hard) to create in the summer of 2003. It was after coming across Howard Rheingold’s (still highly relevant) blog that got me thinking about all this. An hour of Google-fu later, the following links: An article about our Duck Mob at indymedia.ca (Mob #1) Scan of French [...]

"This Fragile Earth"

I was on the Greenpeace website recently, and came across an expression that is likely familiar to all of you – “this fragile Earth”. Within this familiar idiom lie a number of misconceptions about our planet. Let’s discuss a few of them. Myth 1: The Earth is vulnerable. The Earth you walk on has been [...]

Stumble Upon is my god

I know I’m probably behind the curve on this one, but if you use Firefox, you have got to try out the Stumble Upon toolbar. I have discovered more cooler websites in less time, and been more inspired by them, than by any other one source. Remember the browser war? This may singlehandedly tip the [...]

My own personal browser wars

There is a browser war going on inside my Powerbook. It is a veritable deathmatch, happening real-time, with my short attention span as the prize. Here are the contestants: Safari Pros: It’s fast – damn fast. Its speed makes my mind scream in rage (accompanied by pulsating forehead vein) whenever I use anything else. Also, [...]

Aujourd’hui nous souhaitons la bienvenue aux lecteurs de Technaute.com. Je fais ce blogue depuis plus de deux ans. Vous pouvez écouter mon podcast ici.

Podcast 111 - Music by Del (feat. El-P) and Gym Class Heroes

Review: Soundvision - In Stereo

Production in hip-hop can be a tough game. Emcees want to show off, and producers want to impress, as well. Definitely tricky work, but what happens when that delicate balance is lost? Soundvision is this kind of album – where the production of each track, more often than not, overwhelms the emceeing. This sometimes happens [...]

White Fang Librivox project completed!

Today the recording of White Fang I participated went online. A variety of volunteers participated; all sorts of voices from different parts of the world, each with different interpretations on the text. It’s really wonderful to participate in something like this – you should try it out. The guy who got me into it, Hugh, [...]

Addressing issues with public conversation

These days, I’m busy devouring one Seth Godin book after another. And it’s interesting – the more I read his work, the more I start seeing it all over the place. Apparently this talk he did at Google was download about a billion times. The dude’s ideas are both fascinating and highly relevant. In his [...]

Old BME Radio interviews available as podcasts

I just finished putting together an RSS feed of old interviews that were done by BME with various piercing, tattoo, and body play professionals in 2000-2001, for a project called BME Radio. These include Paul Booth, The Lizardman, and the late, great Keith Alexander. You can subscribe to this great set of interviews by dragging [...]

The value of authentic conversation

Talking in a bar, late the other day, I encountered the latent extremist in myself when it came to web communications and marketing. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that a lot of what bloggers, podcasters, et cetera, do is marketing, though in a very bootstrapper kind of way. As such, I’ve found myself [...]

Tag intersects and the future of podcasting (maybe)

It seems Jason Pettus has been having the same ideas as some of us are having over on delicious these days. He discusses the development of audio comments for blogs, much like more and more of us are doing. This idea is ripe, I’m telling you. It is seriously beginning to frustrate me, however, that [...]
