Live: Holy Fuck on Channel M
Holy Fuck is one of those bands I've been a fan of for a while, but had zero desire to watch live for one reason of another. Thanks to this Channel M performance, that has changed. Thers's something about seeing electronic music created live that makes me Japanese-school-girl-giddy.
They also get plus ten for using oldschool film strips for samples. Hell, plus fifteen! Why not. (+15)

Baby Aphex Twin Electronica Remix Awesomeness
No, this video is not for everyone. And I know that some (most?) of you will not be able to make it past the first 15-20 seconds. But if you can hang in there, I hope you will be half as delighted as I was after finishing this little work of art. I want to meet the man behind the camera here, and shake his hand; for I believe he may be one of the coolest fathers, ever. I can't wait for my niece to get just a bit older, so I can exploit her incredible spark-plug-esque energy and create some beautiful media.
Kudos to all involved with the above YouTube goodness. Thank you.
Great Wired Article: Nine Inch Nails Stage-Tech
Whether you're a fan of their music or not, Nine Inch Nails has always pushed the tech-envelope; from music production to the band's live stage show, Trent Reznor has always embraced and forwarded all things digital. The latest NIN tour features giant screens, a metric ton of tech and some interactive visualizers that work so well fans often mistake them as completely pre-rendered!
If you're a fan of behind the scenes peeks, you owe it to yourself to read this Wired article that pulls back the digital curtain on the current Nine Inch Nails tour. Who knew Linux and LEDs could lead to such amazing things?
Wordle: My New Favorite Thing
Wordle: While it's hardly "new", it's new to me, and I love it. Thanks to the Shack, I stumbled across Wordle.com which is a Java applet created by IBM programmer Jonathan Feinberg. You feed the program a block of text, website or a Delicious username and it generates a cloud of beautiful typographic art. You can then easily customize the color palette, font style, layout, etc. Much like great sex, it's easy, free and it's fun. And unprotected.
;)
Here's one I churned out for my blog. I'm sure you'll all be far more creative with it; can't wait to see all your 2Wordle1Cup comments!
