The Guide

Here is a map of my home town of Regina Saskatchewan that I started on google maps. It's supposed to be a collection of "places worth of note". Currently there are 8 contributors, but I would love to have more. If you have a google account and would like to be contacted, please drop me a line. View Larger Map

So, I was asked to give a presentation in a CS class at the U of R on Friday the 1st. My presentation can be found below. I was trying my hand at Google Presentation just to see what it was like. The presentation may need some explanation past this. I will probably be holding onto it and tweaking it over time. I'll be giving a workshop on Ableton live coming up in June I believe. I probably should go double check that.

So, I'm having a little Daftpunk fever. I picked up the Alive 2007 Daftpunk concert album just a few days ago and I'm been listening to it while driving around and it's a pretty decent listen. Then I remembered to myself that Daftpunk put out a strange obscure little experimental film just awhile ago called Electroma. You can watch the whole film here: electroma on google video Now before you play the clip below you should watch the whole movie first. I suppose you don't have to, but it may add to the enjoyment. Apparently, from what it looks like, the whole film was edited to their last album, but then replaced with the experimental, cinematic soundtrack that went along with the theater release. I'm sure this has probably come up in a few places on the net, but this was the first one on me so I thought I would share with yall. and to finish this all off, here is a review of the film with a little added discussion about see the film in a theater vs the youtube...

So, I've been using google reader for a number of months now and I'm starting to feel like there is to much info for me to look through. I have this feeling like I should look through it all, but I don't have the interest or time. Maybe the next step for google is to synthesize all the content from google reader and give you the "jist". Besides that, I've been "building" music off and on for the past little while and I probably have more to show in the next little while. I've been trying to "push" a show that I did. If you go here you can download my show. It was from a show I did at Regina's Cultural Exchange.

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!
