Some really cool photos of the Red Bull Air Race series, currently taking place in various locations around the world. The pilots have to maneuver their specially adapted prop planes through a series of gates performing specific tricks as they go all within a certain time limit in order to gain points and win the championship.
The final race in the series is scheduled for November 1st, in Perth, Australia, and video of the event will also be streamed over the web.

RIP Muxtape
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008
Justin from muxtape has written on the muxtape home page his experience of dealing with the RIAA and the record industry giants.
“Around the same time I got a call from the VP of anti-piracy at one of the majors. After I picked up the phone his first words were, “Justin, I just have one question for you: where do I send the summons and complaint?” The conversation picked up from there. There was no summons, it was an intimidation tactic setting the tone for the business development meeting he was proposing, the true reason for the call. Around the same time another one of the big four’s business developers reached out to me, too.
It’s a really interesting read that comes straight from the heart. The great news is that this isn’t the end of muxtape and it will support smaller bands looking for their break. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes out of muxtape and will be recommending all my friends bands to sign up to it. I’m confident that this will be really, really good!
For now there is Favtape

Falmouth Tall Ships 2008
Friday, September 12th, 2008
Once every 10 years Falmouth hosts the Tall Ships festival, the towns normal population of around 25,000 trebles as around 75,000 people make the journey down to cornwall to enjoy the festival and see the tall ships race.
Friday has a fireworks display as the town goes in to party mode to get ready for the race. The ships undock at 1pm Saturday, parade round the Falmouth bay and race at 5pm.
So far we haven’t seen the busy crowds that were here a decade ago but we’re thinking that the busiest days will be friday and saturday.
There are some really good photos of the tall ships and festivities on flickr.

Update: I heard that all the hotels in Falmouth were sold out, but someone just told me that they have rooms. Email me for details.
