I’ve been following the take away shows for a couple of years now, although I love them i’ve never actually written anything about them. This performance at dusk in an apartment by Bon Iver is really great. I saw it quite a while ago but just re-watched it and though i’d post it.
Bon Iver – Wolves (act I & II) – Une Soiree de Poche from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

Links for 06/01 – 13/01
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010
Right, its a new year so i’m going to write lots of useful things on here. I promise this time.
So to get the ball rolling here are my links from round the web over the last 7 days.
Christopher Niemanns weather predictions for 2010 courtesy of the New York Times – Niemann doesn’t post all that often but his posts are always of a high quality. I recommend subscribing to the feed.
Some things that you never think of could be designed with a little more thought to make everyone’s life easier. One of them is boarding passes. I’d like to see something like this used, but judging by this article, there’s probably not much chance of it happening.
This site from the icanhaz network is pure gold. Say no more.
Oh, and by the way. Happy New Year!!

Eliss
Friday, March 13th, 2009
I just downloaded Eliss for iPhone and on first touch it’s very addictive and fun to play. I don’t mean it addictive in a tower defense kind of way, addictive in a way that I actually want to play it over and over.
Anyway… if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, download it now!

Catching Up!
Monday, February 23rd, 2009
Just had a little catch up on Layer Tennis as I have unfortunately missed both weeks 1 & 2 due to my slightly busy life right now. This post however, isn’t really about that.
As always, I had a little look at the website of either competitor to gather a little bit of information to make the match more enjoyable. It was really nice to see that Jeffrey Kalmikoff had written on his blog his reasoning behind each layer even though he apparently lost. I’ve never seen anyone go through each post in as much detail as this.
Also, I’m not really sure how he lost, in my opinion his layers were far wittier than Brendans.
Maybe it was for slating flash?

The Return of Layer Tennis
Monday, February 9th, 2009
I’m a little behind as usual.. but last friday layer tennis returned to our screens traveling over 16,000 miles with a special edition.
Ten PSD files flew from San Francisco to Singapore in a blaze of pixels.
Check out the match here.
Anyone fancy a game of MS Paint Tennis?

I recently received my heart shaped nyc subway map and year planner from zeroperzero. I stumbled on it from kottke just before christmas and made the purchase (despite the shipping costing more than the calendar).

Roadsworth: Trailer
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008
A trailer for a documentary about a stencil artist from Canada.
He was facing thousands of dollars in fines but it seems because the people in toronto liked his art, it was accepted. From what i’ve found it looks like its still there today.
Mike blogged about this a while back but I didn’t realize there was a video or a documentary being made.
