  Come a long way, kinda by David Goligorsky
  Apple, Art, Associative Thought, Code, Computers, Iconoclasm, Interaction Design, Music, Past Future, Remix, Software, video

  Check out this "record player" iPhone app. The author, Theodore Watson, threw it together in one morning. I really like projects that get the point across quickly. It's a build-to-think mode and sparks dialogue (like this blog post) that gets people thinking about how to use what's around them. At Free Art and Technology, via NOTCOT

  Wes Anderson Commercial Starring Brad Pitt by David Goligorsky
  Advertising, Associative Thought, Branding, Film, Iconoclasm, Japan, Music, video

  The latest Wes Anderson commercial, this time for Japan's SoftBank Mobile, involves a Mr. Brad Pitt in a yellow pith helmet fussing about during a particularly dense bit of action, strongly reminiscent of Jacques Tati's 1953 Les Vacances de Monseieur Hulot. The song is Poupée de cire, poupée de son by France Gall. Perpenduum regulars will note the use of the Citroën 2CV.

  TuneUp for iTunes by David Goligorsky
  Computers, Music, Software

  Just got wind of a new plug-in for iTunes called TuneUp. They just released the Mac software a couple days ago (PC version had already been up.) It's supposed to do all the music library housekeeping for you. That includes cleaning mislabeled music (artist names, genres, track numbers, genres, etc.), finding missing cover art. It can also alert you of concert dates and pull in YouTube videos and news. It's refreshing to see a new product with a clean-looking website too!

  Internet Killed the Video Star by David Goligorsky
  Film, Music, pop, Pragmatism, video

  MTV posts every music video online! This news comes as a surprise because I had thought that MTV had nothing to do with music since the mid-90's. Maybe someone at headquarters found the key to that hitherto "secret closet" and discovered that they used to do music videos and thought it would be real "throw-back" to post them on the internet. Sarcasm aside, good job. It's amazing to have this archive available.

  Clap Your Brains Off by Eric Silva
  Music, photography, video

  This is the music video for Clap Your Brains Off, the first single by No Somos Machos Pero Somos Muchos (NSM PSM). Interestingly, the video was shot by Frank Beltrán using only a Canon EOS-1D Mark III, a digital SLR with no ostensible video mode. It can, however, shoot 10 frames per second (which explains the jerky footage on the otherwise smooth Vimeo) for about 10 seconds. Also, check out the making of Clap Your Brains Off.

  Keepon by David Goligorsky

  I subscribed to Ambidextrous, Stanford University's Journal of Design. The magazine is edited by the Stanford Design community and receives content from contributors around the world. It's a very well-done publication and I would recommend subscribing if you are a designer, engineer, scientist, anthropologist, interaction, UX, HCI, or really anything else because you're bound to find these articles worthwhile. Reading through issue nine, I was particularly impressed by a robot designed by Hideki Kozima in Kyoto and programmed at Carnegie Mellon by Marek Michalowski. It is known as Keepon (from Japanese kee for yellow and pon for bobbing). ...

  Girl Talk - Feed the Animals by David Goligorsky
  Computers, Engineering, Music, Musician, pop, Remix

  Pittsburgh's premiere Biomedical-Engineer-turned-international-DJ-phenomenon, Gregg Gillis (aka Girl Talk), just made his latest album available. It's called Feed the Animals He's followed the example that Radiohead established by making the album available online at whatever price you think is worth it. Name your price and download it here! (via Kempt) In a 2006 interview by Ryan Dombal for Pitchfork Media Review, Gregg Gillis talks about how he had his Engineering day job where nobody knew about his rising fame as a DJ: It would just be weird that I've been hiding this huge part of my life from them. They always come in ...
