In four colours, to match outfits and stuff. Her website for the book - No One Belongs Here More Than You - matches with everything (in your kitchen). Starting from the fridge as [...]

Jonathan Harris recorded his journey to hunt whales in the traditional Inupiat Eskimo way in Barrow, Alaska. His made his camera take a picture every [...]

Picturesque is a new tool for resizing photos, adding borders and glows and shadows. Easy to use, free and… well isn’t that enough reasons?

eclectic cow: i dragoste tu!
Mad about the cow, oh I’m mad about itttttt. Reading this blog is like screenprinting record players on your t-shirt and then dropping a needle onto that nice, lovingly used record you like and your mom hates. Delightful minimalism and meticulously-chosen content make this site a must for art and media freaks. Bucharest’s got it [...]

The Hills: axis of vapid fakery
Here’s a clip from Nancy Franklin’s (The New Yorker) article:
“The L.A. of this show has no edge or darkness to it, and perhaps it’s easy, and pleasant, for young girls to imagine being Lauren & Co. when they grow up. (Or at least to have their teeth, which are truly spectacular.) The show’s soundtrack is all [...]

“new media in a rebellious teenager phase”
In what ways is new media adolescent?
New media has had many of the characteristics of adolescent behaviour. It’s been very image-conscious, self-indulgent and irresponsible. For example, many designers have insisted on doing work that they find cool, rather than work that clients really need.
What has forced new media to grow up? read article here

J’était une petite fille de fils, une ballerine russe sans trajectoire sans adjoint du terroir, sous la pluie Énoktitienne de l’androgène.

popSiren on the nets

Love love love this new show from revision3, an online tv network out of san fran. The topics are fresh and technology / new media oriented. They feature new online tools, DIY networks and projects and science and music segments. And although they don’t explicitly say it’s aimed at women, and i don’t think it [...]

Poem-a-matic
Est que les papilles gustatives ont des glandes de mémoires? Te souviens-tu de cette gomme à la cannelle… capricieuse, pénible, mais goûteuse? Une saveur qui s’inculpe dans tes gencives, ta langue—attaquant le tiroir de ta gorge avec sa force déterminante? Et qui, finalement, s’éteint exhaustivement dans ta bouche comme un effondrement de terre?

Poetry Month is April – Avril, le mois national du poème
get poetising!:
Quand elle a réalisé a quel point elle étais seule, et quel point elle s’avait isolé de tout le monde, elle pleura 10 mille larmes. Elle pris ensuite ce verre de larmes dans ses mains et a bu, assoiffé.

the origins of the running man ♡
Mc Hammer got it from this bloke in Cardiff y’hear? The video is just an excuse to showcase this remix of Kate Bush. I love the original, it’s like Pan’s Labyrinth in musical eighties format.

tanner fever
how wonderful, not weird, that Paul Slocum thought to make an audio mix with the last moments in the clip, intensifying as it’s reinterpreted. I love these actors also, they were found via craigslist and paid 150 bucks each. They show the absurdity of the scene so eloquently. Fascinating and addictive. Like an warm banana [...]

Tcha-tcha-tcha-changes
A breakthrough! I’ve been thinking of reinitializing my two old blogs for a while, workinginthefield and popfeminism.
But you see – that isn’t going to happen with my new decision, my new outlook, my new manic panic!
I feel like with all the emailing i have to do everyday, the phone calls i must return, the items i must [...]

Oh, Pregnant Tom…
I’m kind of appalled that, apparently, David Letterman (who made Paris Hilton squirm after her jailtime, who got flashed by Drew Barrymore for cripesake!) has crossed the line. Dave would have put Thomas Beatie (a female to male transman) into the top ten list saying he is an “androgynous freak show.” I dunno dudes, that is like pretty [...]
