JCVD : The wisdome of JCVD - 8
"Mon modèle, c'est moi-même ! Je suis mon meilleur modèle parce que je connais mes erreurs, mes qualités, mes victoires et mes défaites. Si je passe mon temps à prendre un autre modèle comme modèle comment veux-tu que ce modèle puisse modeler dans la bonne ligne ?"

If you remember augmented reality...
Basically, this is AR without having to use a phone. Some of the applications are probably some years away from being commercially viable and others a bit more (the processing requirements are simply too high to be affordable) but the overall idea is pretty interesting. And it's a hell of a lot more palatable than the poorly named iPad while being completely open source and it's intended to be as mass market as possible.

Red dot in the skaaaayyye!!!
(Une message en Française suivre)
Hey, kids!
Lets talk astrolomy!
Apparently, this red dot will be visible in the sky this friday and you dont want to miss it!
We should meet up on the rooftop of this couple's appartment I know. They've got a great skyline view. Its next to Christobald Colombus street and Rosemont.
Friday's forecast looks perfect for a session of astrolonomy, so lets get crackin!
Also, we should get together, its been a while and this will be a blast.
Red dot in the skaaaye!
(andz now, for ze french messâge)
Attention,
la planète Tabernaxe 32 entrera dans l'optique de notre planète, la planète Cibolaxe 50, ce Vendredi, qui n'est pas Saint, et qui ne devrait pas le devenir, sous aucun prétexte.
Cet événement survient à toute les calixes années, il ne faut donc pas le manquer, ce qui serait bien dommage, comme dirait le Christ sur la Croix.
Pour ce faire, nous proposons de nous rapprocher de la ciboirix lactée, afin de
mieux percevoir le phénomène. Pour ce faire, nous proposons le toit de l'autre imbécile.
Faute de mieux, restons chez soi, mais ce serait dommage, comme dirait l'autre gnochon.
Over and out.

From Sigh to Naked City to Leng T'che
Slow slicing or the slow process, the lingering death, or death by a thousand cuts, was a form of execution used in China from roughly AD 900 until its abolition in 1905. In this form of execution, the condemned person was killed by using a knife to methodically remove portions of the body over an extended period of time. The term língchí derives from a classical description of ascending a mountain slowly.
Lingchi was reserved for crimes viewed as especially severe, such as treason and killing one's parents. The process involved tying the person to be executed to a wooden frame, usually in a public place. The flesh was then cut from the body in multiple slices in a process that was not specified in detail in Chinese law and therefore most likely varied. In later times, opium was sometimes administered either as an act of mercy or as a way of preventing fainting. The punishment worked on three levels: as a form of public humiliation, as a slow and lingering death, and as a punishment after death.
Thank you procrastination
Intrigued!
I can't wait to go to Pant's place tonight. I read about this band, Sigh and I'm really curious to hear what they sound like.
Wikipedia says they are a mix of Black, Symphonic, Avant-garde and Death. Sounds delish!
And just to whet my appetite even more, I had to go and read Exclaim!'s review:
Sigh
Scenes from Hell
By Laura Wiebe Taylor
Sigh's eighth album, Scenes from Hell, is a whirlwind of musical chaos, far more lively than I'd ever imagined hell to be. More like a Carnival Diablo. The metal here is sparse, stripped down to vintage death with a hint of punk or the odd thrashy lead. The tones are viciously deconstructed, but almost every metal riff seems out of its league, bombarded and overwhelmed by a stormy onslaught of horns and synth orchestrations, or a richly evil saxophone solo. At times, the whole conglomeration sounds like a mazurka soundtrack for an epic fantasy, or maybe a creepy cartoon special. Increasingly familiar melodic patterns give the album a theme and variation lilt, leading into martial interruptions, and what might pass for a demonic coronation. Chanted narration and a slow dance of death provide interludes to the high-speed drama moving the record forward, only to sink back into chaos once more. It's recognizably Sigh and works extremely well, at times, but in the end I'm still uncertain about the intended effect and I leave more confused than satisfied. (The End)
I can't even listen to their myspace as I don't have my earphones!
It's a good thing I'm so good at delaying gratification.
