Pretty much does exactly what is says on the tin, well if the internet was tinned. Check it out here

Bandwagons at the ready. I’ve been on Twitter properly for a only a few months (I’d been registered since May 2008, but never clicked with it) and I would say I am now quite the addict.

If you are a Twitter person then you can add me, just click their logo, and if you aren’t then why not huh?

For me, it allows me to keep bitesize tabs on friends and people I have an interest in (mostly designers, musicians and labels).

Two things that make all this information processing easier and that I would recommend would be Twitterfox for Firefox and the awesome standalone program Tweekdeck.

Twitter, currently, I feel is a marmite technology. People are either loving it and really getting into it or can’t see the point of it and are happy to stay with Facebook, or Myspace. Now whilst I still use Myspace for MANTIS radio, Facebook has become spam city and I rarely use it, other than to respond to personal messages some friends send me.

Some other people you should be following would be brapradio, midnightminustwo, MetroBoy, smashingmag and MrTweet.

Feel free to leave me your recommendations.

Yes, I am a bit of fan boy and I came across this trailer for a documentary about Apple.

Daito Manabe stimulates his facial muscles with small electric pulses, synced to music or he can do it the other way, flexing his facial muscles to create sound.

Deaf Center + Claudio Sinatti mixedmedia performance
NODE festival, Modena / June 2008

Although short, this is a lovely piece, both audibly and visually. Both elements working in harmony with each other that makes me quite jealous I wasn’t there in person.

Whilst watching a podcast on Final Cut I came across this little gem of a widget. Works out how much space you need for when you want to capture video.

VideoSpace is a free widget for Mac OS X Tiger (or later) which calculates the disk space required for a given duration, codec, frame rate and audio setting. It works in both directions so you can calculate time to space or space to time as indicated by the direction of the arrow between the two input areas.
