 Style maven John Getze, my stepson, who (as an aside) is rarely wrong predicting popular tastes in music and fashion (he should make a career of this) sends the following:Check out Kraftwerk's Computer World This is one of the first "electronic" music albums ever released and was a major influence on the sound of Hip-Hop (see Whodini, Grandmaster Flash, et al). Here's a quote from a review: " I don't want to say that Ralf Hutter was the next George Orwell, but the song writing on this album seems more current today than it must've seemed in 1981. From what I know, computers in 1981 were keyboards hooked to TV screens without any hard drive. On Computer World, Kraftwerk shows a futuristic world where computers rule everyday life. Was this the culture in 1981? Probably not. Today? I think it is. They wrote an album for the year 2000. In 1981 this must've seemed like a far off subject."
Hmmm... And tonight, John and I are watching 'Something about Mary'... and reveling in the soundtrack by the Jonathan Richmond and the Modern Lovers... I remember their Beserckeley Records classic... "faster miles an hour"... |
 Machinima is the term describing short computer-generated animated movies made using software developed for computer games. Matrix: 4x1 is one such short. Story teller's tools are getting better, cheaper and more widely accessible... it started with desktop publishing, then desktop movie making and now desktop CG, complete with synthetic actors.Comments 2:35:26 PM

Intel-compatible version of Jaguar, codenamed 'Marklar' is reported in this Think Secret report. Geeks would love this (a la OpenStep and Darwin), but developers would not be amused - they'd have to do a major port (unless they were in the minority using the Cocoa environment). A way to keep processor options open? Moto's latest G4s are clocked much slower than Intel's and the controllers in the current dual-processor Macs are rumored to be incapable of taking advantage of DDR RAM.. Comments 1:50:48 PM
