Check out this video and the following links. This guy has created some pretty amazing things. Just by scraping the internet and applying some crazy voodoo magic he has been able to give the internet a voice. Definitely check out the Universe and We Feel Fine.
Recently, I had the opportunity to travel to Yosemite with a friend of mine, Christian. We talked it over and figured out now was as good as any time to run away from civilization for a weekend. So, we packed up, bought some new snow shoes and headed off to northern California.
The drive it self was filled with talk of what we could be doing in Yosemite. We had ideas of hiking to the top of yosemite falls and posting up at the Awahee bar to talk to ladies and interesting old people. At one point we even considered spending most of our time locked up hacking on some project. After hours passed we concluded that not having a plan would be our new plan.
The first day of our trip consisted of a few small hikes around Yosemite. Nothing particularly interesting except for one small lake, Mirror lake. This time of year most of the water in Yosemite freezes over. However this particular lake does not just freeze over with a small sheet of ice, it freezes over with a huge sheet. One so thick it could support the weight of both of us plus many small asian girls.
After a full day of hiking we decided to go to the Awahee bar and find some interesting people to talk to. Sadly there were not very many people around so we helped our selves to a few jack and cokes and some wine. Shortly after we decided to call it a night and head back to our hotel.
Sunday arrived and for some strange reason we woke up at 8am. Which brought a problem for us. How could we possibly spend all this day light exploring. We were fairly certain we did everything we wanted to do in Yosemite the day before. Around an hour later we finally decided that we would attempt the hike that would eventually lead us to one of the most amazing adventures we had ever experienced. The hike to the top of Yosemite Falls.
Check back for part 2.
I feel that it is important to believe and stand up for something so I have decided to put together a section for just such a thing. It is called “Make Change“. Currently it houses only a few bits of information but in the future I plan to pack it full with mass quantities of useful information.
You can reach this new section by clicking below. I will of course blog about any future updates.
Looks like choke was recently made into a movie and will be playing at sundance this weekend. Here are some screen shots from the movie.

That is all
I just found these guys a few days ago and havent been able to stop listening to them. If your open minded about your music and can handle some tango jazzy electronica then give Gotan Project a chance. You can hear some samples from the links posted below.
