each bit deserves its own individual post in good time and I will try to include photos, for the sake of interestingness, wherever possible; it’s been a while since 77percent was last updated and I’m going to start apologizing but I just wanted to get this out there, I’m considering switching to some sort of what /they/ call a tumbleblog but that’s a whole other story.
Anyways even if it might seem like ‘the blog’ has been stagnant (taboo?), the content on del.icio.us/jeeves/77 (shown in the sidebar) is always relatively fresh and tasty, also twttr (again, in the sidebar), which I’ll often update on the go from my phone, is usually interesting and always brief.
on to the good stuff
musical accompaniment ?
more of the live acoustic delight from the KEXP podcast, since camera obscura is already here (just hit play if it’s working) : Michael Franti, he’s a very interesting happy-minded and well traveled acoustic fellow, well worth checking out.
furthermore back to camera obscura they have a blog which is actually often a pretty good read. Also, while we’re still talking about music, I’m planning on opening 117 with the Blues Brothers as we did when it first ‘launched’ back in ohfive; and, for Rob, Kevin Spacey was Bobby Darin in Beyond The Sea.
incredibly cool street art stuffs ?
laser-based graffiti projection [also on youtube if quicktime isn’t your thing]. A little difficult to describe, the click is well worth it, the result is basically light-based graffiti covering a whole office building from a projector in a van, the graff is created in real time using a green-light-laser as a pointing device, it’s at least a little bit incredible. (via kottke)
a mention-worthy anecdote ?
hitchhiking with jamaican church goer. Ask for more. (more on twttr.com/jeeves or the sidebar)
happenings ?
world issues conference at carleton: an interesting exchange of words with an econ masters candidate who doesn’t believe in sustainable development (I’m exagerating his stubbornness a little) about microcredit and more.
today is ?
flickr ??
I’ve still got a whole lot of material to post but I’m still backlogged all the way to Sri Lanka (early July) although I’ve fasttracked some of my work from London and New York. I’ve also remastered the negscans from some of my film stuff in The District; sometime I will scan the prints, which are much nicer feeling particularly the fibre ones. Recently, Melly and I did a two-way mutual photoshoot for our makeshift grad photos (I chose, and convinced her, to boycott the atrocious-and-extorionist Lifetouch photographers. It’s now officially a sister campaign to Fight The Ticketmaster.)
