New (to me) Downtempo


If you dig the relaxed-type beats, check out Nitin Sawhney. Of course I don't encourage downloading unpaid-for .mp3s, but if someone was to hypothetically go to www.torrentz.com and look up "Nitin Sawhney" they might find his entire catalogue in one convenient package. Some of it is pretty experimental, lots of Asian, jazz and world music influences and tribal-type percussion. Definitely worth checking out. I'm starting with "Beyond Skin"

Some crazy-type shit


Photorealistic sculpture is the way forward, imo. Aussie artist Rob Mueck does post-modern the cool way: without shitting in a fish tank and selling it. He was actually the guy behind the special effects in Labyrinth - I can only assume that includes David Bowie's massive cod-piece.

New Browser in Town


I've been hearing rumblings from the mac-nerds that Camino is the new hotshit browser on the block. I'm not unsatisfied with Firefox, but since this is by Mozilla as well I'm more than a little curious. The site claims and easy transition if you're already a firefox user. I think I may give it a shot tomorrow, if for no other reason than the appeal of being an early adopter. Then I can tell other people in 3 months that I can't believe they JUST found Camino cuz I was on to it before it was cool.

How to make a REAL Chicago-Style Hotdog


How to do it up Chi-Town style. Accept no substitutes. I had a proper one last year when I was there and it truly is a beautiful thing.

Most Addictive Flash Game EVER


Prepare to waste some serious time on this. I'm up to level 16.

Virgin America, ftw


If there's anything the American airline industry could use right now, its some competition. Enter Sir Richard Branson and Virgin America. They're not even cleared to fly by the FAA yet, but the demo plane that Engadget got a look at is absolutely off the chain. Make sure you check out all the pictures of the in-seat entertainment system, its worth it. Rumor is they're going to come in with really cheap rates when they hit the market.
