hmm.

So the new iPhone has a compass.  Which can be distorted by nearby magnetic fields.
 
I think I may have found an enjoyably crude magnetometer.

If I lived inside iTunes...

Well, Kanye West, will this be a charming song or another narcissistic tour de force?  Actually, you're pretty much doing nothing for me this time - except I think you just name-checked your own ego.  Anyway, the samples and production remind me a lot of that "Can't Stop Movin'" song, which is a hell of a lot more glorious than your ass-cap-popping stories from the street.

Some time later... I've just gone from Lupe Fiasco to Ryan Adams.  Am i mad?  Also, how did he get Mandy Moore?  Why?

Bands that don't exist: The Lawless Bison

The Lawless Bison - a prog-folk group from Boulder, Colorado famed for electrifying the acoustic and acoustifying the electric.  Made many new fans with their breakthrough 2004 album, Deserve Neither, a loose collection of stories based around Benjamin Franklin's statement that those who would sacrifice their liberty for security deserve neither.  Labelled as delving into lush soundscapes, The Lawless Bison have professed instead a folk aesthetic on the basis that "everything we do happens in someone's lounge room, or the porch during summer".

Judge it by its cover. JUDGE IT!

I think these book covers are best described as eloquently awesome.

I don't really do anything much.

My brother, on the other hand, was talking to me about a particularly bad car crash.  I thought he was talking about it from professional knowledge.  He explained that there had been an open pair of eyes, and a pulse, but by the time he arrived he couldn't find it.  Turns out he was talking from personal experience.


Like I said, I don't really do anything much.

isbn.nu is brilligant.

'brilligant' was meant to be nonsense evoking brilliance, but appears to be a grammatically-correct use of 'brillig' from Jabberwocky, which I guess means that it is nonsense evoking brilliance and the snicker-snack of vorpal blades.

I know why the bridge means so much to me. I would be interested to know what it means teenage Quebecois tourists.
