1997: daft punk released an album, named it homework, and put themselves on the map.
years later (2001) they released another album, named it discovery, and it was so hot that the map caught aflame.
further down this same path, -year:2005- daft punk released an album, named it human after all, and that's where this success story takes a turn. the album did not meet expectations. the duo created the entire album in just 6 weeks, but that wasn't enough to please the masses. was daft punk lucky their first two times? did they lose it?
answer: no.
in 2007 daft punk showed up to their hometown of paris, and played a set dressed in the signature robot suits atop a lighted pyramid. they used material from discovery, human after all, and a tad from homework. this live mix not only showcases their talent, but also the quality and genius of their art. the set was recorded, named daft punk: alive 2007, and has been shaking since.
do what you need to do to get your hands on this masterpiece. daft punk owns electronic music for a reason, alive 2007 is a solid example why.
after work, we hit up our local watering hole only to find out that it had undergone a metamorphosis and was now a sno cone hole. needless to say, we took advantage.
a few weeks ago, i lost my phone (5/16). it was a friday, at night.
no, you did not just read a typo. more than four weeks ago i lost the use of my beloved iphone. i was on the way to the bathroom, and i got a text message. so i pulled out the phone and was reading the message. at that moment, i watched my phone fall in slow motion towards the porcelain bowl. splash.
with nothing to take pictures while on the go and email them to blogger or my yelp queue, i had hit a blogging/yelping wall. my online presence had all but fallen off the face of the earth.
well i'm back, and i'm ready for action. i've got a loaner phone in hand (which allows me to post) and i've got an agenda to snag up one of those hot and sexy 3G iphones that will be coming to shelves early july.
Gotta like the hotel road life. I feel like a rockstar who's been on tour for 8 months (its been 4 days) I go back tomorrow and itll be good to see old faces and places.
This week I'm in the famous city of Hartford, CT. I don't know what they are famous for, but I do know that I'm here.
I hope San francisco doesnt miss me too much this week. But when I get back, the whole city is throwing a party (a race) bay to breakers! Let's hope this week goes by fast?!
iphone was born on a friday afternoon at 6pm. on saturday i had my own. when i purchased the phone it had firmware 1.1.1 today i have 1.1.4. with each upgrad i enjoyed added features like extended battery life, multiple recipient text messages, itunes music store access (over wifi), the ability to move icons around, place safari bookmarks on the jump screen, etc.
if you ask me, in the past year apple's upgrades have been not only sub par but downright boring.
so i took the excitement into my own hands, (with the help of ZiPhone) and did a jailbreak! creating a jailbreak is fast and easy, and has no risk. what does jailbreaking an iphone really mean? great question: jailbreaking your iphone involves installing one application called "installer". from the installer app, you will be able to browse, download, and install applications.
i've installed a fair share of apps, and have found a few that i like.
1.) Twinkle with this app i can post to my twitter account from wherever whenever. i can even attach a photo! i can see who else is twinkling within a 1, 2, 5, 10, 50 mile radius. and can read those that i'm following. what a way to keep in touch! the interface rocks too.
2.) Feeds RSS reader on the go! i can delete all the icons i have on my springboard for individual blogs, with one button (sync) i can see who posted and read the posts. i love it.
3.) Mobile Scrobbler radio on my phone, last.fm raido. i can scrobble everything i listen to, play suggested tracks over wifi or edge, and get artist info/lyrics/event info. kinda slow over edge.
4.) Fring pre-release 0.978 aim, skype, gchat, sip, icq, etc etc... this is the best im client for the iphone in my opinion. it doesn't disconnect the second you sleep the phone or jump to another application real fast. apparently you use this app for voice chat or skype out calls, haven't tried.
it's not very clear in my sneaky camera shot, but the dude has curly (permed) hair on top and everything else flat ironed stick straight. derek tried to sneak a photo, in an oh-not-so smooth fashion.
