David Byrne featured on Yahoo Picks

Yahoo's been doing a good job featuring trends and people. The latest is a feature on one of my favourite artists. As they say over at their profile, A Few Questions for David Byrne - Yahoo! Picks Profiles

His site, DavidByrne.com, is chock full of goodies, including CD tracks, performances, a faithfully updated journal, and his own Internet radio station, on which he features a monthly selection of his latest musical passions. He and fellow musician Brian Eno have also made a couple of tracks available online for re-editing, mixing, and sampling from their seminal "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" LP.

Give both Byrne and Yahoo a read. Better yet, go remix "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts"! :)

CNN enters Second Life

CNN tries to explain why:

So, what exactly is news in a virtual world? CNN has opened an I-Report hub in the virtual world of Second Life. CNN aims to find out by opening an I-Report hub in Second Life, a three-dimensional virtual world created entirely by its residents.

Not sure who the dude with the shades is....looks a bit young to be Wolf Blitzer. :) For more, see:

The problem with Symbols, or Guy Fawkes and V is for Vendetta

Jacob T. Levy has an excellent posting on the problem with symbols, namely Guy Fawkes. What Guy Fawkes represents in England is (was?) pretty clear. In North America, or at least the U.S., not so much.

How to remove tourists? With Tourist Remover software

A maddening article on the "beauty" of concrete architecture

Over at TheStar.com is a maddening article (
Concrete's liberating allure) on the beauty of concrete architecture. The section that got me was:

But we hate concrete these days – don't we? There's that prejudice again. McClelland points out that the same design team that conceived new city hall also hatched the Sheraton Centre across the street – a much-maligned structure that looms close to Queen St. and University Ave. "With these kinds of buildings, most people will say that they hate them, but they can't say why," McClelland shrugs.

First off, the buildings they use as examples are attractive. But for ALOT of concrete buildings, it is easy to say why people hate them. They are visually uninteresting buildings. Often time they look decrepit and on their way to crumbing. Worse, they are massive, making them hard to ignore.

Second, there is the maddening twisted logic of architects who say these buildings are "democratic" but "most people will say they hate them". How can they be democratic then? More likely "autocratic" or "technocratic".

Give me buildings that are either visually interesting or use the vernacular.

How NOT to use email or using cc instead of bcc and thereby exposing whistleblowers

Over at TPMmuckraker | Talking Points Memo is a sad story about some goof who managed to exposure whistleblowers through a poor using of email. How long has email been around now? Long enough this should not happen. Ever. See the sordid details at the site, but here is the lede:

D'Oh: House Panel Screw-Up Reveals Whistleblower Email Addresses By Paul Kiel - October 26, 2007, 10:07PM Here's a whoops with a capital W. This summer the House Judiciary Committee launched an effort to collect tips from would-be whistleblowers in the Justice Department. The U.S. attorney firings scandal had shown that much was amiss in the Department, and with the danger of retaliation very real, the committee had set up a form on the committee's website for people to blow the whistle privately about abuses there. Although the panel said it would not accept anonymous tips, it assured those who came forward that their identity would be held in the "strictest confidence." But in an email sent out today, the committee inadvertently sent the email addresses of all the would-be whistleblowers to everyone who had written in to the tipline. The committee email was sent to tipsters who had used the website form, including presumably whistleblowers themselves, and all of the recipients of the email were accidentally included in the "to:" field -- instead of concealing those addresses with a so-called blind carbon copy or "bcc:".

I live in Toronto, a city I love for alot of reasons. If you do too (live here and/or love it), here are some blogs you can check out:

The amazing amount of good blogs on the Web

(Richard Barnes: Rome's Starlings)

There are so many good blogs that I come across. Well written blogs on any subject. I found this one, on photography, inspring and thought provoking. See: lens culture: photography weblog

A Trick using Blogger: see all related blog

If you have a blog on Blogger, you can tag your posts with a label. You can then search on that label. For example, if you had a food blog called MyFoodBlog, and you wanted to be able to send someone all your entries related to "cake", you could enter:

and you would find it.

Recipes for the super rich

For those of you wanting to make something terribly extravagant, the nytimes.com has just the right recipes. For example, here is the ingredients for Le Bernardin’s Salmon-Caviar Croque-Monsieur:

4 slices fine-textured brioche or white bread, crusts removed

About 1 1/2 ounces Swiss Gruyère cheese, sliced paper thin

1 ounce fresh or pasteurized sturgeon caviar

2 to 4 slices smoked Atlantic or Norwegian salmon

2 tablespoons clarified butter.

There's a few more, including the egg above stuffed with cognac, roe and other fine things....

Hillary Clinton and gotcha photojournalism

Whatever one feels about her, I believe I have seen far more freakish photographs of Hillary Clinton than any other presidential hopeful in the media.

Perhaps it is opportunity. Maybe she makes more faces than other candidates. But it is easy to catch people in odd moments, if you want. And yet I don't see photos of Obama with his eyes closed, or John McCain making a face or Mitt Romney wolfing down a sandwich. Likewise, I am sure 2 seconds after this photo was taken, her face was relaxed. So the question is, are these forms of gotcha photography?

Save money and injuries with less expensive running shoes

According to CBC News , shelling out for a snappy pair of expensive new running shoes may not save you from shin splints or knee pain, a new British study suggests.

Inexpensive and moderately priced running shoes provide the same, if not better, cushioning and offer the same level of comfort, say researchers at the Institute of Motion Analysis and Research in Dundee, Scotland, in a study published Thursday in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

(This sounds about right to me....cheaper shoes often have more padding than the "primo" ones, and for a tiny bit more weight, it seems worth it.)

For (Canadian) lovers of Opera: Met HD opera simulcasts move into more cinemas

I just came across this at CBC.ca: New York Metropolitan opera simulcasts move into more cinemas in Canada.

New York's Metropolitan Opera is expanding its live high-definition simulcasts in cinemas after a successful launch last December. Canadian cinema chain Cineplex is to add 40 new screens to the program, which involved live broadcasts in 2006-7 of operas such as The First Emperor and Mozart's The Magic Flute.

What's on tap? Well, there's alot, including lots of Puccini, some Zefferelli, Heppner, Levine...well take a look:

* Dec. 15: Gounod's Roméo et Juliette starring Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazón, and conducted by Plácido Domingo.
* Jan. 1: Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel, starring Christine Schäfer and Alice Coote in a new English-language production by Richard Jones, conducted by Vladimir Jurowski.
* Jan. 12: Verdi's Macbeth, starring Lado Ataneli in a new production directed by Adrian Noble, conducted by James Levine.
* Feb. 16: Puccini's Manon Lescaut, starring Karita Mattila and Marcello Giordani.

Tips for managing your email

As it says in this article: Separate your email from your to-do's on Lifehacker:

email is not a task manager. One of the biggest leaps I made towards keeping on top of all my pending to-do's was making a clean, mindful break between email and tasks.

Cheddarvision - from the smart folks in West Country

What is cheedarvision? Well, the cheddar manufacturers of West Country set up a camera in front of some of their finest cheddar and filmed it for three months. For those of you who had other things to do (e.g. watch paint dry), you may have missed this. Fortunately, someone made a very condensed version of this and posted on none other than YouTube. Here's the highlight film from the 3 months of aging:

Padstyle - very cool modern furniture

Padstyle is a great design/decor/furniture blog with lots of wonderful items featured. This one caught my eye in particular.

How many time zones are there? 24? Maybe not.

Actually, there are about 39, according to FT.com's Weekend Columnist, Matthew Engel. This article, Twilight zones
is a fascinating peek into how the world sets it's clock. For example:

• "Galicia, the tip of north-western Spain, which is in the same zone as Hungary, 1,500 miles to the east"
• there is a "strip of western Australia, larger than Belgium but with a population of 200, that has its own unofficial quarter-hour zone"
• Apparently there is a "complex answer to the deceptively simple question: “What’s the time in Indiana?” "
  
• And while not mentioned, here in Canada, the province of Newfoundland has it's own 1/2 hour zone that is -3.5 GMT.

William Gibson talks of the past, the future, and the Internet

The globeandmail.com has a brieft but interesting interview, titled:

The future catches up with novelist William Gibson

I mildly disagree with the title and the direction of the article. Whatever the future is, I doubt it has caught up to Gibson. Indeed, the future isn't what it used to be - to mangle Yogi Berra -- but whatever it is, look to writers like Gibson and directors like Ridley Scott to imagine it.

Ridley Scott and Blade Runner: the Final Cut (fall 2007)

WiReD has an in-depth interview with Ridley Scott, who has ...Finally Created the Blade Runner He Always Imagined.

For more buzz on this masterpiece, see BuzzFeed They have lots more, including the trailer, found here:

Edward Hopper - the master of 20th Century Light

The New Yorker online has a feature on Edward Hopper called Everyday Life, but it could also be called "Everyday Light". Each of the paintings shown has a different way of capturing light (and life) in the 20th century. The one above, “New York Movie,” (1939, from The Museum of Modern Art, New York) is one of my favourites.

The New Yorker online is a wealth of material

I am surprised when companies ban such sites as myspace or Facebook because they fear that employees will be less than productive with access to them. If you are one such employee, and you want to be less than productive, I would like to recommend the online New Yorker, where you can read such articles as this one, by John Updike, on the King James Bible and Robert Alter's new (well, in 2004) translation of the Pentateuch: The Great I Am

If you are going to be unproductive, do it in the best way possible. :)

harlem.org and the royalty of jazz

Over at harlem.org is this wonderful photograph with an astounding collection of many of the great musicians of the 20th century. The site provides an in depth examination into the photograph, and in deed, jazz itself. As the site explains, Art Kane...

attributed his famous photograph to being young and naïve. In August 1958 he was hired by Esquire magazine to come up with a photo to open an article about jazz. He figured he would contact every major jazz musician in New York to show up on 126th street in Harlem at 10am to take a group portrait. Getting jazz musicians anywhere together at 10am seemed impossible, but to everyone's surprise 57 musicians showed up. It was Art Kane's first professional photograph.

MTV, YouTube, Justin Timberlake and David Bowie

On the recent MTV Video Awards, Justin Timberlake complained about MTV not playing enough music video. The next day, the New York Times called out the obvious: YouTube is this generation's MTV. But not this generation: all generations. YouTube gives you music videos you can't get any other way. For example, here is inimitatible David Bowie, first -- with Luther Vandross singing backup no less -- singing Young Americans in 1974:
