The reason to have kids - part 2...

Part 1 is obvious - I'm getting married in 2 months time ;)... part 2 involves what might be the album of the year. I'm presently in love with 'Smoosh'...

Smoosh are two girls from Seattle - Asya (13) on keys, Chloe (11) on drums. The music is raw, from the heart, and like a bizarre clash of Sonic Youth - Tori Amos and The Brady Bunch.

Check out the video HERE.

So this got me thinking. When Yanti and me have kids they are gonna be running around in a house full of videogame consoles and music equipment and with parents who encourage them to go crazy on both.

What kinda kids will we produce? Well - we've already talked about 'home skoolin' them. A day at 'home skool' would probably be something like this:

11am Wake Up
12pm Browse the latest music/movie/videogame news
1pm Breakfast
2-4pm Beats, Breaks and Turntablism
4-4:30pm Speed Asian cuisine
4:30-6pm Final Fantasy 101
6pm-8pm Creative writing with a bias towards explosives
8-9pm BMX tricks
9pm-1pm Asian Horror - aka: Why Hollywood is dead

Are we gonna have the coolest, most fucked up (in a good way), gifted, outcast kids or what!

Ultimate Utopia XXIII...

As a Final Fantasy Fan (or FFF), I found this pretty funny...

Can't Touch This...

I think this is amazing.

Basically - it's a piece of software that performs a live 'glitch' on both the video and audio signals, based on the analysis of a microphone input. The 'ethos' behind this is that the results can be based on copyrighted material, but since the end results are not a conscious steal of a section of copyrighted material - it bypasses current copyright laws, or something. All I know is that it's cool and I want a VSTi of it RIGHT NOW!! Because...

...I REALLY WANNA FEED THIS INTO IT!!!

Orb-gasum...

I've been playing with 'ORB' over the last few days. It's basically a media server that sits on your main PC and then allows you to access your Music, Photos, PVR/TV, and Movies from anywhere in the world on pretty much any web enabled device.

Here's what my Orb homepage looks like. I have my audio, movies, and pictures shared.

This is what the photo browser looks like...

Here's the video browser. Click on the big blue play button and the server on the main PC transcodes (or whatever) the source video into either a Windows Media, Real Media, or 3GP stream - matched to your target device's internet access speed.

Same options are available for MP3s as well. The crazy thing is though, I can do all this on my MDA Pro cell phone.

It works over Wi-Fi, Wired (through the USB), and even the 3G network. It basically means that while at work I can use my phone (or PC - but I like that fact that my phone is acting as a mini tv and not on my main work screen) to view video or listen to my mp3s.

I'm REALLY impressed with Orb. If you're into this kinda thing - check it out.
