Être Et Durer
My music selection at the moment is pretty mellow. Currently playing is Tegan and Sara’s “Beauty” from their Yellow Demo.
For the past days, there have only been 3 things ruling my existance:
In that order.
Ad Music:
Matt Costa, Nikola Sarcevic, Colin Hay, Maritime, We are scientists and others have been on constant rotation… see a pattern? Sorta strange for a not-so-young-anymore hardcore-kid. What’s really ruling my audio-world at the office at the moment though is CSS.
Ad Mountainbiking:
Feels good to hit the tracks again. Rode 3 different bikes in 3 days. That was a bit of a different experience as well. I feel better body wise now.
Ad Work:
C’mon… it’s work. Not much to say. Much overtime and bug fixing. The 90° heat in our poorly ventilated office doesn’t really proove very helpful with the output ratio.
Snippets:
Spent some time at the doctor’s and had him fix up my toe. Tonight there will be a movie night showing Operation Spring” at the U, with a discussion about police oppression afterwards. Considering that here in Austria 10 animal rights activists still are being helt in jail without any concrete charges, that will be an interesting evening I hope. I’ve been thinking about them a lot; after all — at least 4 of them — i have met in person before.
Should prolly head back to my code…
I’m in a very acoustic mood today… so I would like to share a couple of songs that are helping me through the heat and sunshine in the office right now. Both albums are really recommended as well…
As much as I am cautios and allergic, when it comes to hyped bands, I couldn’t help but falling in love with this song… and album in fact.
Today I’ve been messing around with some new media tools and applications. Well… first, I got some new music:
Haven’t really had a chance to get through that stuff yet, but hey — still get to hit the bike today and listen to some of it then.
Furthermore, I got to check out Photoshop Express. Also, another handy Web 2.0 or 3.0 or whatever tool. They are still dealing with some TOS issues, but I guess they will resolve that by April 10th. The news release says so at least.
And last, but not least, I also finally got around to checking out Miro. It’s hard to really explain what this little multi-genius does exactly, but it’s a real talent in everything concerning videos and the web. It will play all your local media, download from video portals, rss feeds, streams, channels and even can act as a bittorrent client. Not too shabby…
Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or dieStarlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don’t know if it’s worth it anymoreHold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my armsMy life
You electrify my life
Lets conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel aliveI’ll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
