Slightly More Useful Fluttering

(December 30, 2012)

Some weeks back I wondered whether I could use Youtube as a screen saver.  It turned out that I could. That wasn’t, strictly speaking, very useful, but now I had a small USB monitor sitting in the hall, so I might as well make it display something practical in addition to the music videos. Hence: … Continue reading Slightly More Useful Fluttering

Conspicuous Youtube Consumption

(December 17, 2012)

Stina Nordenstam rockin’ in the USB I’ve been sleeping in even odder patterns than usual lately (I suspect that I’m coming down with microencephaly, SAD and “the hypo”), so I found myself staring at the stereo computer thinking that there should be movement. I normally hate computer screens that have pulsing lights and stuff, but … Continue reading Conspicuous Youtube Consumption

I’ve been using this Sony Walkman NWZ-A845 for years.  It’s fine.  It boots up pretty fast, and the controls are nice.  No yucky touch-screen interface, but nice buttons that do what you expect them to do. It’s nice. But it only … Continue reading Useful Consumer Review

Hey, I wrote that thing that would pick out what albums I play the most.  Perhaps if I point it at 2012, it’ll just list all the best music that I’ve bought this year? Cat Power Sun Deerhoof Breakup Song Django Django Django Django Björk Biophilia Remixes Part Six Neneh Cherry & The Thing The … Continue reading Top 2012 Records

Liquorice Controversy

(December 3, 2012)

It has generally been considered that Malaco Dark Shots is the best candy ever.  So when Malaco started replacing those delicious treats with Malaco Viva Lakris, a nation felt betrayed and peckish. But are they really so different? The ingredients look to be pretty much the same… And they look similar… Even when you cut … Continue reading Liquorice Controversy
