AnandTech on Apple’s iOS 4.0.1 signal-strength meter adjustment. Seems sensible. Click through for more great explanations and illustrations.

a track made for me as a birthday present in 2006. from david:

music made entirely live using e pickup and my digital camera’s EMI and my evil evil rack effects looper setup of doom. the choir like drone is my power zoom, the rhythm was made with the flash. i was blind by the time i was done.




camera battery chargers. all of these are coming with me to seattle today. long story.

Forstall is quite literally claiming perfection while a hand model holds up this terrible example of everything that’s wrong with Apple’s commitment to typography.

my old new phone

we’re talking about the industrial design of the “lost” iphone prototype over at gdgt and it got me thinking about my old LG phone I had in 2007. that phone to me was the hawtness, the only touch screen phone of its kind at the time. i had to import it from italy because it was only available from certain prada stores in europe.

LG PRADA KE850 w/customs form

i got a laugh from the customs form the seller filled out.




ah yes, philippe starck. i have a couple chairs designed by him and a digital watch ring. i was pleased to see he’d wear dainese (as have i) and prefers virtual keyboards to mechanical ones. maybe my iphone isn’t total complete shit after all, except for the service. and i enjoyed this little interview with him.




RA News: Dadahack debut with TAP3
The album is as much a musical effort as it is a playful comment on technological advancement. In addition to being available for digital download, TAP3 is, as its name suggests, a cassette tape, but by no means a normal one–it also functions as a digital music player, so listeners can simply plug in their headphones and hear the album. This unusual presentation is meant to both embrace and reject the digital era, harking back to a time when music was confined to a physical existence within a hand-held product.
ok, this alone makes me want to buy it already, like a small art piece. i’m still looking for my original issue FM3 buddha machine in my mass of possessions.
