A few of my favs from this Wired article. Happy Monday! (HOLY CARP, THIS IS OUR LAST WEEK! EEK!) 1. Munroe’s Law: A person in a geeky argument who can quote xkcd to support his position automatically wins the argument. This law supersedes Godwin, so that even if the quote is about Hitler, the quoter still wins
2. Lucas’s Law: There is no movie so beloved that a “special edition,” prequel or sequel cannot trample and forever stain its memory.
6. Savage and Hyneman’s Law: Blowing stuff up is fun. Blowing stuff up in the name of science is AWESOME.
Most adorable MP3 player ever? I’m a big fan of Miffy (super cute Dutch book series) since she happens to share her name with my grandmother’s “grandma name” (and she LOVES bunnies).

Dad, you might find this interesting: an opera based on Origin of Species. I have this album and it’s quite strange (as you would expect from The Knife), but I find the concept to be an appealingly unique one. I am very curious to see the performance and visuals for this.
Commissioned by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma to write the music for their opera based on Charles Darwin and his book ‘On the Origin of the Species’, The Knife decided to make this a collaborative process, working with artists Mt. Sims and Planningtorock for the first time, to capture the huge width of the Darwin and evolution theme. They extensively researched Darwin related literature and articles, with Olof attending a field recording workshop in the Amazon to find inspiration and to record sounds.
Although I took a trip out to Astoria (Studio Square rocks!) and saw a great little gallery opening in Chinatown, I spent most of my weekend with the above; organizing and moving over files from the old compy, rewatching Twin Peaks and Cannibal! The Musical, enjoying a battery that works! I love having all this space! Now all I need is CS5…
P.S. I got the above, kick ass, wallpaper (and a bunch more) from Simulacrum It’s like FFFFOUND!, but for wallpapers.

Once upon a time a California boy met a Georgia girl in New York. They didn't get along, at first. But, little by little, they fell in love. Today they are happy and still very much in love, running a business and a blog together.
