if an alien intelligence were to make contact with us, it might seem simultaneously strange yet comfortingly familiar.

I was pleasantly surprised just now when I walked into the craft service area in my office and found a big basket of hershey’s kisses. this is surprising because we never have snacks here. it’s pleasant because i love hershey’s kisses.

DESTRUCTION

April 29, 2008 | Filed Under happening, music | Leave a Comment

saw Destroyer last night at the EARL. great show. the new album lived in my truck on a loop for about two weeks straight, and i was glad at the show that i knew the new songs so well. made the experience a bit richer. my only complaint was that the set was a little long - i think they did a 5 song encore, and by the end of it i was just ready to go on home. I mean, it was a monday, right? does that make me an old man?

old man or not, i’m considering going to see Earth on wednesday if anyone’s interested in joining.

post-it note, 3×3″ - pen, colored pencil, white-out tape

Lately, I’ve been way into this pinkish-purple colored pencil that appeared on my desk at work. It happens to be the only colored pencil I have, but luckily, it also happens to be a pretty great color. I realized today, though, that I don’t have a pencil sharpener - and the thing is getting a little dull. Guess I may have to put in some kind of purchase-request.

GOLDEN RATIO IN FAMOUS DRUM BREAK

April 24, 2008 | Filed Under big ideas, music, mysterious | Leave a Comment

from “The Amen Break and the Golden Ratio”:

A student recently asked if I had any insights into why the “Amen Break” is so popular in some modern music. “What’s that?” I had to admit that I hadn’t heard of it. But when we listened to it, a drum break beat, I recognized the rhythm right away. I’d heard it in television commercials and the music of James Brown, and elsewhere. You probably have too. I became intrigued when I saw an image of the audio waves themselves because I immediately recognized the Golden Ratio in the structure of its timing. And I was surprised to find an even deeper relationship to the structure of the human body.

An interesting read!

POSTCARD TRICK

April 21, 2008 | Filed Under funny haha, god bless the internet, mysterious | Leave a Comment

a brilliant ebay-auction prank concept:

You are bidding on a rare chance to traumatize a treasured friend or relative with baffling, mind-numbing, mystery correspondence from abroad.

During the course of my holiday I will send three postcards to one person of your choosing.

These postcards will be rant-ravingly insane, yet they will be peppered withunmistakable personal details about the addressee. Details you will provide me.

The postcards will not be coherently signed, leaving your mark confused, guessing wildly, crying out in anguish.

and success!
