convenience or bust

saw an ad for Sirenia and their new album 13th floor in nemi
click itunes search. Entered sir and there it was atop the list. Quick listen to preview of three songs and hello downloads.
Instant and half price compared to shop. -
a bit larger touch and the future really is digital, instant and allways on...

immobile

So this is direct from the touch - online at blogger. Had to swap into HTML edit mode to get typing, but now it works lime a charm.
the real topic: Clive t. Again. 17.01 "this I'd your brain onvideo"
how will them glut of content affect the way we think?
will video take another major step in our lives?
most people spend a lot of more time on tv than reading books or papers. But when we study it I'd mostly books. How will that change with tons of related video? Courses, lectures, experiments like the flying bottles... Can we learn and remember as well or better with visual aids, as was mentioned on spos: 40% are auditory that makes podcasts as good as personal lectures.

Sorry, no copy means no links now. Will try to go back later and add in the most relevant ones.also loving the double space for point trick. Wondering if there are any others. Google next :D pretty code time on the responses as well when typing quickly. Loving it.
...and the sun won't shine, so no pictures today of the winter wonderland outside...

FreakAngels -still ongoing


Episode 0043: was amazing in it's weird way. With page 3 clearly a moment to remember. A bit more is revealed about the 'angels and their powers, and also some of the 'blast from the past'.

Somehow the series pulls me in for huge burst, then spits me out and hides in plain sight for a month or so. Then it is back in for an hour or more of solid amazement. Creativity first. Commerce second. Story above all.

Makes me believe that this online thing has something going for it. Bringing back the direct relationship and the storyteller / minstrel tradition, spinning the tale a bit at a time - stretching the canvas so to speak.

"FREAKANGELS is a free, weekly, ongoing comic written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Paul Duffield."

- 44 episodes of 6 pages, some interludes and a holiday greeting.
