Food for thought...

"The internet can also give us tools more narrowly to target specific demographics and to strengthen those assumptions that prevent acceptance of new ideas, nudging people towards algorithmically determined tastes or styles. Companies can use demographic models and track people's search patterns to pander to their initial tastes and to strengthen those tastes, rather than broaden their horizons. This problem doesn't lie within the technology of the internet, but within the realities of capitalism and human psychology." - Robert Rich (in response to the idea of "1000 True Fans").

The Change of the Seasons

Not really up here. It was in the 80's over the weekend and now back to the mid 50's, but I'm not complaining.

I am going to see the Handsome Furs tonight at Bottom of The Hill.

I work with some very smart people, and today I learned how to hack into someone's computer and get their MySpace password. Of course, I'm not linking to that.

This studio is about 10 minutes from the house I grew up in and I never knew it, Tarquin Studios.

I played at a coffee shop in The Mission last week, here is the set.

The Factory
All The Things I've Seen
Get Rich Quick Scheme
Baby Blue Sedan
Pls. Don't Speak My Name
