Blu from www.blublu.org has done some incredible time lapse/real world animations over the past few years. I remember watching That's Incredible when I was a kid and seeing the epic domino runs thinking about how much time it must have taken. Then I saw some of the videos for OK Go and thought the same thing. For me, Blu takes it to an entirely new level.
Kudos to the execution of an amazing Combo.
Spent some time thinking about the evolution of the social media meetup tonight and did a piss poor job being clear about my thoughts in this rambling podcast, but it's very late, it's very muggy, and I'm very tired.

The songs on the album cover above aren't necessarily in the podcast. I just thought it was a wicked cool image.
Feeling a bit laid back and mellow on this musicmonday. So I'm chilling out old school with some 70s AM classics. Sit back and smile.
While almost everything else on lovehatethings is Creative Commons, this is not, and if the RIAA or any of the artists ask me to take this down, I'll gladly comply. But until then, if you dig it, maybe you'll go and buy it, which will make everyone happy in the end.

Today's spark for my rage... on some podcast I listened to, someone inferred that strong copyright legislation inspires creativity. Needless to say, I disagree.
A classic from the NFB called "The City". Just be aware there is a couple of minutes of darkscreen video while the music is grooving off the top. If you can't live with that, skip ahead. From the www.nfb.ca website description:
An animated fantasy that shows Canadians as urbanized people developing a vast wilderness with the aid of the latest technologies. Shown as part of the Urban Environment exhibit in the Canadian pavilion at the international exposition, Osaka '70.
