I make things on the internet
When you spend most of your life in Canada, you tend to forget that it’s kind of weird that
It also never really seemed wrong to be leaving the bag open in the fridge. I guess it’s probably not safe if as long as you’re not performing some sort of science experiment.
The Lock Busters
Wired article on a Dutch lock-picking competition.
The current Conform Project series just ended, so I decided to try a different process while I work on a new backend for the site. I’d like to take this moment and introduce you to the new Conform Project group on Flickr. The group is open to anyone who wants to participate (you can get a free account with 10mb of upload/month).
To take part, grab a conform image from the Flickr group (or the conform tag) or one of the first series images from the Conform Project site. Use that image as a base for the new one that you create. Upload it to Flickr, give the image the tag *conform* and add it to the group pool. Use your description or comments to link to the original image that you used as a base and/or add a comment to the original piece.

The Oscar nominations were released today.
Jamie Foxx is nominated for best actor and best supporting actor. As far as best pic goes, The Aviator is a bit too frantic to win, Clint Eastwood is depressing, I’m assuming Ray is a character piece, if the voters are in a sappier mood they’ll go with the feel-good Finding Neverland, otherwise they’re likely going through a midlife crisis and will go with the lighter Sideways.

Johnny Carson dies at 79
NBC said Mr. Carson died of emphysema at his Malibu home.
Went to the Death From Above 1979 show at the Grad Club last night. It was pretty solid, they sounded even heavier live, the building was shaking. When you look up at the tiny stage, it’s hard to believe it’s just two guys making those sounds.
I took a bunch of photos, most of them aren’t that great, but I put up a few of the better ones. It was nice to get out to a show, I don’t think I had seen any good live music in awhile.
Update: A better review of the show. Apparently, the lead singer for Nassau (one of the openers) was a former GBV drummer, although they’ve been through enough of those.
