The Sask Pool

-
So, to create a little self reference of some kind I guess. I started up a new blog a month or two ago called saskpool.blogspot.com It's intended to be a place to show off some of the artists found around Saskatchewan. I would like to get a bunch of contributors from around the province so that it's not just one persons promo page, but something for everyone. Also, I've created a little social network site at thepool.ninq.com that will hopefully be a place for people to come together and discuss and share.

And on another note of sorts. Some may have noticed that I've become a google reader fan and I've added a little "widget" on the side of the blog that shows some of my favourite news stories of the minute. If you don't know much about feed readers and rss and all that, look it up!

I left a comment over at The Pool before I saw you run this blog too. Since you're in Regina, I'd like you to know that the Saskatchewan Bloggers have a BBQ in a park coming up this Summer. When more details have been worked out, they'll be on the Saskblogs Aggregator, and also saskblogs.ca . Consider yourself invited to come and feast for free/cheap with other bloggers.

So I've been inspired and obessed with Aphex Twin ( Richard D. James) music for years. I've been listening to his side project The Tuss non stop for a year or so. I've been searching the blogs, forums and what ever other venue I could to find info on anything new. Today the "twitter" alerted me to a new interview with him. You can read it from these links below. I'm totally pumped to hear his "6 completed albums" .... hopefully in one big box set. afxanothermanoct10pg01.jpg afxanothermanoct10pg02.jpg Some nice thoughts from him...

Jaron Lanier

Here is a video of a talk Jaron Lanier gave at a conference on Augmented Reality recently. I read his book "You Are Not A Gadget" recently and I'm curious about some of his ideas. He is one of those thinkers that I'm very interested in keeping up on what they have to say (including Bruce Sterling , Clay Shirky , Amber Case and Tim O'Reilly ) He mentions a short story by E.M. Forster (1909) in his talk called "The Machine Stops" that sounds like it would be a worth while read for all of us at some point. http://archive.ncsa.illinois.edu/prajlich/forster.html He also mentions an man name Ted Nelson that was one of the early thinkers on technology. I must go learn more about him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Nelson ------------------------------
