Det finns ett ordspråk som går - "Det är tankarna som gör mannen" och det är just det här som jag går runt och tänker på. Som Twitter fast XL, med bilder, video och ljud ska prägla denna Tumblr!
Hej,
Det var inte igår. Som du kanske har märkt är det väldigt tyst på denna Tumblr. Huvudanlednignen är att jag har flyttat över till en egen domän och hosting där jag publicerar länkar men även längre artiklar. Hoppa gärna över dit!

The Coatwolf Model II & Bellflower
Evan Glodell invented a camera; the Coatwolf Model II. Then made a film with it.
…Glodell wanted cinematic looks that he didn’t think he could get with standard-issue gear. Glodell knew that Bellflower’s wacko plot — which follows “two friends who spend their time building flamethrowers and other weapons in the hope that a global apocalypse will occur and clear the runway for their imaginary gang,” according to the press kit — would require highly stylized visuals, so he decided to push his camera-tinkering skills to the limit.
The trailer for Bellflower looks brilliant.
I’ve been using the same core install of OS X since April 30, 2005, the day I received my copy of 10.4 Tiger and did a fresh install on my Power Mac G5. Over the past six years I’ve installed the two subsequent releases of OS X as upgrades (Leopard and Snow Leopard), and planned to do the same…
Kommer göra samma sak när Lion släpps. Ta en backup och sedan radera allt.

DYNAMITE COVER SKETCH :: Hello Boy’s & Girls, today I’d like to share with you 2 things. The first is an mp3 of a quick sketch of YBH’s cover of Dynamite, and the second is a brief glimpse into how something like this gets translated from Taio Cruz’s original, into YBH’s version.
To begin with its just an idea. I had heard this song at a wrap party for a TV show, and in a club setting it was pretty amazing. It had sort of a dream-weaver quality to it for some reason or another. I had never heard it before so I SHAZAMMED it…and SHAZAM! It was Dynamite. I could not have prepared myself for how awful it sounded outside of a noisy party environment though. It’s hyper compressed, Taio’s voice is auto-tuned into a starchy digital oblivion, and all the synth’s are out of the can, and entirely cheap sounding. It occurred to me that a jam like this could use a rock and roll facelift.
So I sat down and learned the song. For anyone who’s interested the chords are C#m - B - E - A give or take a few subtleties here and there. From there, in order to give the band a reasonable image of what it could sound like, before we rehearse, I do a quick throw down in Pro-Tools, and record everything as quickly as possible.
Everything is essentially 1 take. The bass and drums are synth, and everything else I recorded in my bed room in less then 2 hours. Oh the wondrous power of digital recording.
In no way should this be considered a final product, just a sketch. Perhaps one day this will make its way onto a YBH album of some kind…until then, enjoy.
Love, Brendan

AOL Hell: An AOL Content Slave Speaks Out
Oliver Miller tells a horror story about his time writing for a TV-centric AOL property. Make no mistake: Arianna Huffington and “The AOL Way” are infecting AOL’s blogs straight down to their core, which is why Engadget’s team of heavy-hitters like Joshua Topolsky bailed earlier this year.
I left TUAW and Download Squad for Ars Technica in 2007, long before any of this current corruption began spreading. I wish nothing but the best for my friends who are still at AOL, namely at TUAW. They’re great folks. But if Miller’s story is true—it is just another in a growing series that seem to corroborate each other—I also fear for my friends. The bosses upstairs sound like monsters.

In iOS 5, incoming unrecognized calls now display the location of the area code. This information was previously only available in recent calls.
When you first log in to a Gmail account using Safari on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, it offers to set up that account for you in Mail, iCal and iChat.
Lion is awesome in hundreds of different ways. This is just one of them. Apple is really pushing to make as much of the tedium of computing automated as it possibly can.
