I’ve been researching MIDI and hardware controllers the last few days (don’t ask) and came across this little beauty.
tehn with two fifty six from tehn on Vimeo.
It’s made by monome who built some of the gear for Nine Inch Nails. That pretty much means it’s out of my price range but it’s quite beautiful.
Tree time

After much attic digging and copious amounts of super glue the Wilson tree is up. Also a sidenote: I tuned the vinyl decks and with the exception of some jazzy modern beat tunes most of this year’s Christmas music will be supplied from the original vinyl. (pictured record is just for example and won’t be shown again until January when the vinyl becomes a 70s rockfest).

Here are two things I came across on my Wednesday and very easily classify into one or the other.

You’ve probably already seen this circulating the web (thank Will), but if not it’s enjoyable.
Pre Thanksgiving day

Today is the day before Thanksgiving. It’s going to be great just chilling at the house. I plan on a Pre Thanksgiving day run to get my appetite ready.
To point, I’ve cooked a good Southern breakfast of Timms Mill stone ground grits and eggs (scrambled for G, over hard for me) and watched the Today Show. I believe I have a last minute store trip and some putzing around the house. Glorious. You can follow me on Twitter for the weekend’s play by play (www.twitter.com/avclub).

I am really digging this piece from Cocoe Studios for “Estas no son las noticias” (This is not the news).

Installed Tweetie after continued love/hate feelings toward Twitterific. So far, I miss the dark background, but love everything else. Much faster, better feature integration… and I can finally delete a tweet from the iPhone.

This week’s twitter of the is from mgt777, my beautiful wife. It comes from a conversation she had with our son.
G is totally convinced that if we knock on our neighbors’ doors (all of them) and ask nicely, they’ll let us come in and play with toys.

Video for Radiohead’s Weird Fishes built with Processing. Love this. I’d considered learning processing as it’s powerful and download. Maybe one day, but not today.

Supreme Beings of Leisure

Loving the new Supreme Beings of Leisure album 11i. If you’re a fan of trippy, rock-based electronic James Bond-esque spy music with a female lead vocal and high production value (I should write for Pandora, no?), this one’s for you. I bought it ear-unseen and wasn’t disappointed.

Nice piece of fluid animation over at kinder kinder. I submit that we should use particle / fluid sims more often, wouldn’t you agree?
