I struggled for the last two days about including Jon Lajoie in this series. This artist is a comedian and while he makes music and distributes it for free, it’s all parody. (And there seems to be a whole lot of his work which isn’t music.) Still, I wondered whether I would include stuff by Weird . . . → Read More: Six months challenge part 5: Jon Lajoie

Ok, I know, I’m really late, so let me try to get a couple entries in two days here and catch up for the time lost. (You’ll have to forgive me for the delay, I was busy with my Ph.D. preliminary examination.) For the week that ended on July 4th, let me submit to you Jane . . . → Read More: Six months challenge, part 4: Jane Siberry / Issa I’m 4 days late, sorry, I’ve been preparing my preliminary exam and haven’t had much time to update. This week’s (well last week’s) artist is Jonathan Coulton. I’ve actually known about Jonathan Coulton for quite a while, so this is a little bit of cheating, but I was keeping his site and music for a rainy . . . → Read More: 6 month challenge, part 3: Jonathan Coulton Didn’t ride much all week but I went out today for a 28 miles ride. (28.6 to be exact.) Same ride as last week, which I did in the other direction this time and I was back in 2:15 (plus stops), which is 10 minutes faster than last time. The weather was much nicer, lots of . . . → Read More: training for a century: better time A friend of mine sent me a message telling me about the music of “Girl Talk“, a DJ from Pittsburgh. I’m not such a huge fan of this type of music (or at least I didn’t use to be), but I’m starting to discover interesting stuff around that I actually like. Girl Talk samples popular music . . . → Read More: The 6 months music challenge 2: Girl Talk A friend of mine has had me considering the Red River Century for over a month now. I was pretty decided on trying it out (and therefore training for it). I was going to start training seriously when I came back from New Jersey, at the end of may, but unfortunately I sprained an ankle a . . . → Read More: training for a century (or how 3 hours in the sorching sun made me appreciate that open source collaborative software could save a town) I’m a strong supporter of free and open source software. To be honest, I’m a supporter of free and open source anything really. That’s why I contribute to wikitravel (sporadically, but still), why I started wikiscuba (well, still trying to make it take off, really), openstreetmap and anything I can get my hands on that suits . . . → Read More: The 6 months music challenge, Issue 1: Hipster, Please! Compilations I’ve been signed up on jpgmag for quite a while now, but I’ve just submitted an image for the theme “Creatures”. Go vote for me, now! (You’ll need to sign up, but I’m sure you want to anyway!) [Update 1: I screwed something up. I wanted to submit a second image to the theme and discovered you . . . → Read More: This should be in the shameless self-promotion category I think I came across a report on slashdot (the geek’s black hole of productivity) about the toplogy of wikipedia. Basically, looking at which articles link to what, they’re trying to figure out what the center of wikipedia is, the article from which you end up the quickest to any other article on . . . → Read More: Small World Networks of wikipedia As Code Monkey has shown, the best way to become an internet sensation is to sing about what geeks like. Weezer seems to have just come out with a new video for “Pork and Beans”. I don’t really know much about Weezer, to be frank. I’m a pianist and I listen to quite a bit of music, . . . → Read More: Weezer’s “Pork and Beans” internet sensation |
